Reel Spooky King Megaways

Reel Spooky King Megaways slot is a seasonal Halloween version of the very popular Reel King Megaways from Inspired Gaming – only this time instead of the cheery moustachioed King, you get a pale-faced vampire version.

This creepy update comes with the same game mechanics, although the volatility is a bit lower in this instalment which might be good news to some of you.

Let’s play!

The Graphics

Your reels are set in what looks like a creepy graveyard in a scary forest at full moon – standard Halloween stuff, while the spin soundtrack is a spine chiller. The standard reel symbols from the original version have been turned into monsters with googly-eyes, scary pumpkins, vampire fangs and the odd skeleton.

Overall the redesign is quite good

Reel Spooky King Megaways Game Play

Reel Spooky King Megaways slot has 6 reels, up to 7 rows and the standard Megaways 117,649 ways to win. Players can take their spine chilling spins from to a minimum of 0.20 up to 20.00 per spin.

Your reel icons are the creepy cauldron, watermelons, plums, cherries and the 10, J, Q K and A from the playing card deck.

The wild icon is the Witch’s Hat and will land on the top horizontal reel only. As you might remember, there are no scatters in this game – instead it relies on a meter that is filled with cascade win combos to set off the bonuses.

The Bonuses

Dings and Reel King Meter

On each spin, from one to six reels will be randomly chosen to light up yellow with a ‘Ding’ sound, that will then fill the Reel Spooky King Meter to the left of the reels. The more lit reels you land, the higher the neter will climb. And if you light up 6x or more positions you’ll set off to trigger one of the bonus features…

Reel King Feature

Hit 6x positions on the meter and you’ll be given 1-2 mini reels over your main screen. These offer prizes of 1x, 2x, 5x, or 10x your bet, and they can advance you along the Free Spin Trail if they turn yellow.

Super King Feature

Hit 7x positions on the meter and it’s the same as above but with 2-3 mini reels

Spooky King Feature

Hit 8x positions on the meter, and you’ll get 3-6 mini reels with the same modifiers as Reel King Feature

Free Spins

Advance 5 places on the Free Spins trail and you’ll trigger the free spins bonus. But before you take your spins, you can gamble for more spins. Spin the arrow, if it lands on a green segment you’ll scoop up to 25 extra goes, But if it lands on red, you will lose spins, and in some cases all of them!

Once the round starts, an unlimited win multiplier will increase by x1 on every winning cascade you make. Which is excellent!

The Monkey Verdict

Fans of the original who love all things Halloween will enjoy a spin on Reel Spooky King Megaways slot.

For the rest of us, this seasonal version is too similar to the original game to deserve more than a quick play.
