About Megaways Casino
Though we’re not an estate agent, we’re so pleased to report that the MEGAWAYS slot has found a brand-new home in Megaways Casino, after a couple of years in the wilderness. The site is now a Skill-on-Net slots site and casino, with the fantastic base of games that brings, and they’re managed by the legendary team behind PlayOJO.
For those who have been around the block a few times, the concept of a Megaways Casino that is the official “Home of the MEGAWAYS Slot” may bring a sense of deja-vu.
Well, you’re correct to feel that because such a site did exist in the early 2020s, under the management of a casino platform that is well known for their brand tie-ins. In fact, that original Megaways Casino player base went to a casino brand inspired by one of America’s most famous bricks and mortar casinos.
Anyway, enough about the past. We’re in the present, where we have, for all intents and purposes, a shiny new Skill on Net casino for you. And frankly, my initial impression is that it’s pretty good. But let’s interrogate that a little further…
How we rated this brand
- Offer Quality – 4/5 – We’ve negotiated with the owners to bring you an exclusive match bonus with free spins, which is obviously superior than what you’d get otherwise. Now that may sound like a five out of five, however we’ve dropped one star because the wagering requirements are pretty much as high as they can be.
- Game Choice – 4.5/5 – This is one of the great selling points of the Skill-on-Net platform; they have a monstrous catalogue of slots and games. They’re claiming over 8,000+ titles. I’ve gone in to try and verify that. The truth is the number might be slightly lower for UK players due to licensing, but I think it’s still over 7,000! Pretty extraordinary…
- Payment Methods – 4.5/5 – Another Skill-on-Net perk is the great range of payment methods. Most independent sites these days only accept debit card and Apple Pay at a stretch. Whereas you can deposit and withdraw using trusty e-wallets like PayPal and Paysafecard at Megaways Casino.
- Navigation – 4/5 – There’s good filtering and a powerful search bar which makes it easy for players to find the games, game types and developers they’re seeking fast. All game types are well signposted in the Menu too.
- Customer Support – 4.5/5 – Live chat with a real human being is open 18 hours a day! Obviously to get a five, it would need to be 24 hours, but still pretty bloody good!
Design & User Experience
The casino’s theme is unsurprisingly centred around the gold logo of MEGAWAYS, based upon the extremely popular slot mechanic invented by Australia’s BTG (Big Time Gaming).
The MEGAWAYS feature is a random reels modifier built into many online video slots. It can change the number of symbols that appear during a spin. This greatly expands the possible number of win lines at any given time. It makes every spin a real roller coaster. In fact, the formula which they use to work it out is: “number of reels multiplied by symbols per reel equal total possible ways to win.”
Depending on the slot, that means there can genuinely be hundreds of thousands of potential pay-lines. The most frequent figures you may see quoted are “46,656 Ways to Win” or “117,649 Ways” on MEGAWAYS slots.
Another aspects that makes the user experience strong is the efficient customer service that’s available most of the day. They also really do put a premium on quick withdrawals, and we can verify their claim that “most withdrawals complete within 5 minutes” is true. Although there will, of course, be circumstances where that’s not possible.
The site is exceptionally easy to sign-up to, especially if you already have a Skill on Net account elsewhere. You’re also not limited to taking just one casino bonus, although there are time limits.
Bonus & Promotions
Our exclusive welcome offer, which includes a large match bonus and a healthy side of free spins, is much better than what you’d get going directly to site. It is not perfect, as we’ve mentioned. I’m not thrilled that many sites have chosen to keep the highest possible wagering requirements at 10x, but we are where we are. This is what brings our bonus rating down from 5 to more like a 4. But I reiterate, what you get here is better than what you’ll get elsewhere.
In terms of ongoing promotions, Skill-on-Net always knock this out of the park with their Daily Picks. Each individual player has a tailor made schedule of daily promotions catered to their preferences. Frankly, it’s genius and one of my favourite things about Skill on Net casinos.
Games Available
We’ve harped on about the enormous 7,000+ strong catalogue of slots, including, of course, a huge range of MEGAWAYS slots (…duh!). But we also think it’s worth mentioning quite how good the selection of live casino games is here. Here are some of the standout facts about the Live Casino which I’ve verified:
- Megaways Slots has games from all the three biggest live studios: Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Playtech.
- There are over 500 tables to choose from at the site alone.
- They even have live game shows from each of those studios. For example Crazy Time from Evolution, Mega Wheel from Pragmatic Play and Adventures Beyond Wonderland from Playtech.
Final Thoughts
There’s no doubt that the return of Megaways Casino is a win for players; it was a sorely missed brand! While it lost some of the benefits from being on an independent licence and platform, Skill on Net does bring plenty of its own perks like the enormous range of games and Daily Picks promotions. If you like slots and you like a lot of them, I think this is a winner.
