About Mega Boy
Did you used to play Super Mario as a kid? Perhaps you played Zelda? If the answer to either of these question is yes, and you loved it, then there’s a fair chance that you’ll also love Mega Boy, which is a take on classic GameBoy gaming. Mega Boy is an iSoftBet developed slot, and one which is played over a total of 5 reels and 25 paylines. Graphically, it is very authentic and accurate to the theme it is trying to portray. The slot allows you to choose coin values of 0.01 up to 0.20, and that in turn will place your wager anywhere between the 0.25 minimum and 5.00 maximum wagers. This makes the game incredibly appealing for players operating on shoestring budgets. What makes it even more exciting is the fact that Mega Boy contains a non-progressive jackpot which is worth 150,000 coins.
Special Features
The wild symbol appears as a blue cloud, and it can replace all other symbols in the slot, with the exception being the special characters. Wilds cannot offer you cash wins on their own, though. They can, however, form part of winning combinations.
Every character icon which appears can trigger a total of 10 free spins with wild features when they land in the middle of the reels. The character icons take on the shape of the horned or hat-wearing critters, or a wild card symbol. The bonus features are tricky, but you’ll master them in time.
Bonus Feature
The horned character is capable of triggering Level 1 Power-Ups, and these include 2 multipliers on the reels, horizontally and vertically copying wilds, extended wilds, or the ability to have wild symbols replace one of the standard paying symbols in the slot. This symbol substitutes for low paying icons.
Meanwhile, the hat wearing critter can offer you Level 2 Power-Ups, and can replace high paying icons. These features can include 3x multipliers on your line bet wins, diagonally copying wilds, horizontally copying wilds, and the ability for random symbols to be turned into wilds.
Initially, everything appears rather complex and overly complicated in this video slot. However, once you sit down and spin the reels and few times everything becomes so much clearer. What you are left with is an enjoyable throwback to the glory days of handheld gaming, only in modern, video slot form.
