Reel Lucky King Megaways

Inspired Gaming send their recurring King character to Ireland for Reel Lucky King Megaways, trading the usual setting for rainbows and a jig soundtrack while keeping the lit-reel mechanic that runs through the whole family of games. The grid uses the Megaways system across six reels holding up to seven symbols apiece, with a fourth reel spinning horizontally above the main set, producing anywhere from 324 to 117,649 ways to win depending on the spin.

Cherries, plums and watermelons make up the lowest tier of the paytable, royals from nine through ace fill the middle, and a pot of gold tops it off - six royals in a row pay 1 to 7.5 times the bet, the highest royal reaches 50x, and the pot of gold pays out even on just two of a kind. A horseshoe acts as the wild, standing in for any regular paying symbol.

Every win clears its symbols from the grid and drops fresh ones into the gaps, and the process repeats for as long as new combinations keep forming from the drop.

Each cascade that keeps a win alive lights up one more reel in sequence, left to right. Filling all six lit reels calls in the Reel King tier: one or two mini Reel Kings appear alongside a batch of eight to fifteen free spins. One extra cascade beyond that upgrades the round to Super King, where a third Reel King can join in and the free-spin count climbs to a top of twenty. Go a cascade further still, and the round reaches Lucky King, bringing as many as six Reel Kings with up to twenty-five spins to work through; landing six cascades back-to-back skips straight to this top tier without needing the two below it first.

Each Reel King present on the grid plays out a small slot machine of its own for a cash prize worth up to 10 times the bet, or advances its holder along a free-spin trail instead. A King that comes up empty with fewer than three reels lit leaves the grid, and the round closes out once none remain.

The free spins themselves open with a 1x multiplier that climbs by 1x after each cascade, and reels light up red in the same left-to-right pattern as the base game; filling all six here brings back a Reel King that adds up to 3x to the multiplier and up to three extra spins. A Spin Chance backstop also offers one further spin, through a red-and-green gamble wheel, whenever a player's balance falls below the cost of the next spin.

Reel Lucky King Megaways pays out 95.56% RTP on medium volatility, hits on 30.96% of spins, and caps its maximum win at $250,000, with stakes running from 0.20 to 20 per spin.
