Danger High Voltage Megapays Slot – Free Demo

Four jackpot meters above the reels

Danger High Voltage Megapays is a Big Time Gaming slot. The studio's Danger High Voltage, the earlier 4,096-ways game this one is built from, and Vegas Megaways are both on the site as well. It runs on a 6 reel setup with 4096 ways to win. Every payout is multiplied by the stake of the spin that produced it. Identical successive symbols from the leftmost reel pay, and the scatter pays anywhere. Only the highest win on each combination is paid, and all the combinations from a spin are added together.

The RTP is quoted as 96.18% to 96.39%, of which 9.44% is borne by the four progressive jackpots. That share is split across the meters, with every bet putting 1.50% toward the Mini, 1.30% to the Midi, 1.20% to the Major and 1.10% to the Mega.

The Skull, the Bell and two full reel wilds

The game holds low-value symbols depicted by card ranks from Ace down to Nine, and the Skull is the richest symbol. It yields a 25x win for 6 across the ways. The Skull is also the only symbol that pays from two of a kind, at 0.50 times the stake, and the Bell follows it at 5 times the stake for six.

The game also arrives with 2 distinct type of wild symbols:

Wild Fire: full reel wild, only shows on reels 2 to 5. It stands in for everything but the scatter.

Wild Electricity: full reel wild that only shows on reels 2 to 5. Every Wild Electricity in a win multiplies that win by 6.

How the Megapays ladder pays out

The game revolves entirely around the Megapays feature, which can be triggered from any bet. A trigger lights the Megapays logo up in full. Higher stakes trigger it more frequently. The four jackpot meters run across the top of the screen, above the reels, while the base game plays. A symbol from Ace to Nine turns into the Megapays Symbol, all instances lock in place and respin until no more land, and no other pays happen while this is going on. The respins also stop the moment the Mega Jackpot is won.

The ladder reads the final result: 4 to 7 instances win the Mini, 8 to 11 the Midi, 12 to 14 the Major and 15 or more the Mega. Four instances is the smallest count that pays anything on that ladder. The four jackpots are progressive and uncapped, seeded at 100, 1,500, 20,000 and 300,000. None of them can be won in fun money.

Our Minty Verdict: 290 spins at a 6.00 stake returned 303.60 against 1,740.00 wagered, and the third My Desire scatter that opens the feature choice never landed once. The four meters sat above the reels for all of it, and the ladder that feeds them starts at four instances of a single card symbol.

Choosing between High Voltage and Gates of Hell

A Feature is awarded when 3 or more My Desire scatter symbols land. The one frame captured from this session shows two of them on screen and nothing awarded, one short of the count. The player gets to pick between two free spin rounds, with the triggering stake applied throughout, and the scatters pay as well, 6.00, 20.00, 50.00 and 100.00 times the total bet for 3, 4, 5 and 6. Those scatter wins are multiplied by the total bet and added to the rest of the spin.

High Voltage Free Spins awards 15 free spins with the High Voltage Wild on reels 2 to 5. That wild substitutes for everything except the scatter. When lit, it multiplies neighbouring wins by 11 up to 66, and 3 or more scatters award a further 15 spins. The multiplier steps through x11, x22, x33, x44, x55 and x66. Gates of Hell Free Spins awards 7 free spins in which one symbol turns into the Sticky Wild on reels 2 to 5. The symbol is revealed at the start of the round and holds for its duration. Four Sticky Wilds in a reel award 3 additional spins up to 19 in total, and no scatter surfaces in this round at all.

290 spins without a third My Desire

Across 290 spins at a stake of 6.00 I never once saw 3 scatters. Neither the Megapays Feature nor a free spin round arrived in that time. The choice between the two free spin rounds remained theoretical the whole way through. The longest stretch without any win at all ran 22 spins and ended on spin 212.

The figures back that up: only 45 spins of 290 paid anything at all, and 29 of those paid less than the stake. Total wagered was 1,740.00 against 303.60 returned. The best hit of the session was 37.20 on spin 190 for 6.2 times the bet. Behind it came 30.00 on spin 39 and 24.00 on spin 258. The balance never climbed above the 5,000.00 it began with, ending at 3,563.60 for a session return of 17.4%.
