Rasputin Megaways

Big Time Gaming sets Rasputin Megaways in a fictionalised, disco-themed take on Grigori Rasputin, staging the action around a flashing, spotlit version of Red Square outside Saint Basil's Cathedral, with the lighting and music both ramping up once free spins begin.

Bets run from 10p/c to $20 a spin, and the game returns 96.68% to players whether played normally or through its bonus buy route — a flat RTP that doesn't shift between the two. Big Time Gaming rates it highly volatile, a fit given how far the feature set can escalate under the right run of symbols.

The reel grid holds between 2 and 10 symbols per reel in the base game, rising to 12 in free spins, which pushes the number of ways to win from up to 1,000,000 in the base game to as many as 2,985,984 once the bonus is running. Low-paying 9 through A card symbols are worth 0.8-0.9x the stake for six of a kind, while a set of jewelled egg symbols forms the premium tier, paying anywhere from 1x to 50x for a six-symbol line depending on which egg lands.

A disco-ball wild is the game's central mechanic: whenever it lands, it reveals a number that determines how many extra symbols get added to the reels — up to 48 in the base game or 60 during free spins — with wins recalculated once those symbols are in place. The wild substitutes for everything except the scatter.

Three or more scatters anywhere on the grid trigger free spins, and players choose between two different versions of the round. One awards 7 spins with reels that keep whatever height they reach from one spin to the next, handing out three extra spins every time a reel grows to a full 12 symbols tall. The other awards 10 spins under an uncapped multiplier that starts at 1x and climbs by 1x for every fifth disco-ball wild added to the reels during the round, and landing three more scatters mid-feature retriggers it.

Win Exchange offers a side route into the bonus: landing a win of 100x the stake or more lets players trade that amount directly for entry into free spins, while a win of 25x to 100x can instead be gambled on a wheel, with green segments marking the chance of landing the bonus. A standard bonus buy costs 100x the bet, and however the round is reached — buy, gamble or exchange — the choice between the 7-spin and 10-spin versions remains available, with the game's maximum win capped at 68,180x the stake.
