Fire Warlock Megaways Review

MGA Games have been into the Megaways business before, and we somewhat enjoyed their slots like Boxing Champion Megaways, even though they had their flaws. Now, we have a new release called Fire Warlock Megaways in front of us, and it actually seems eerily familiar in many ways. It’s not a carbon copy of the aforementioned game, just to assure you from the start, but it’s not massively different. So, without further ado, let’s get down to the details, starting with the game’s playing field. There are 6 reels, and the playing field looks different with each new spin. In the ideal case, you can have as many as 117,649 ways to win!

Thematically, Fire Warlock Megaways is a fantasy game, and it’s about a mystical warrior that’s supposed to fight and emerge victorious from the battlefield. That’s what the slot’s official info says, at least, and there’s indeed a warrior standing right next to the playing field at all times, which is a nice touch.

The mathematical model of the Fire Warlock Megaways slot combines a medium volatility level with a reasonable 1,525x jackpot (though the in-game paytable suggests that it’s only 1,280x, so who knows). Its betting range is geared mainly towards casual players, as you can go for bets only between £0.20 and £10. That’s not too bad, but where the slot fails big time is in its theoretical RTP. The current industry average is 96%, but the theoretical RTP of Fire Warlock Megaways is only 83.27%. That’s almost 13% below what’s the current par for the course, and that’s just incredibly poor.

Fire Warlock Megaways Slot Features

In total, there are 10 standard pay symbols in Fire Warlock Megaways.

For specials, there are Character Wilds and Shield Scatters. Character Wilds are completely straightforward, as they only substitute for other symbols in winning combinations. They can appear only on the “extra reel” at the bottom, which limits their potential.

Looking at the slot’s gameplay features, we have to start with the fact that you can chain wins together. In other words, there are your typical Cascading Wins. Winning symbols explode, allowing new symbols to fall in and produce new winning combos.

If you land at least 3 Shield Scatters in a spin, you’ll trigger the Free Spins feature, which actually starts by allowing you to Gamble or Collect your free spins. This way, you can even lose your free spins trigger, but you can also win up to 40 free spins by getting lucky. You can win more free spins during the feature, too, but the main twist is that there’s a progressive win multiplier that increases with each Cascade. That, of course, can lead to some serious wins.

Review Summary

Without factoring in its math model, Fire Warlock Megaways would be a fine, if not particularly exciting Megaways slot. Throw in its awful RTP, however, and you’ve got a game that just can’t be recommended. It’s unfortunate, but the 83.27% value is just unthinkably low.

Pros

• Megaways with Cascades
• Free spins with a progressive win multiplier

Cons

• Entirely formulaic
• Horrible math model with an awful 83.27% RTP
