Mega 5 Way

This is a unique new multi-screen game on AGS’ giant Colossal platform, on the new 4200 oversized cabinet. The base game is a five-reel, 243-ways-to-win video slot, with no paylines. Wins are awarded for adjacent symbols on the screen, with up to 243 potential winning combinations on each spin.

The large, vertical screen displays four bonus reel sets in addition to the main five-reel screen, all under a bonus wheel with four colors. There is a wild symbol that appears on the third reel.

Three scattered bonus-trigger symbols activate the Mega 5 Way Free Spins Bonus. The game awards a random number of free spins—it can be up to a maximum of 50 spins. (There are no bonus symbols on the free-spin reels to re-trigger the event.) During the free-spin session, up to all four of the bonus reel sets can be activated in addition to the main screen, with all bonuses and wild symbols applying on each of the active sets of reels. Wild symbols are included on all three middle reels in the bonus, as opposed to the third reel only for the base game.

Reel 3 of the main screen contains a “Spinner” symbol. Each time it lands, an additional free spin is added, and the wheel on the top of the display spins to one of four colors corresponding with the bonus reel sets, and activates the additional reel set on which it lands for the remainder of the free-spin bonus.

When the wheel indicator lands on one of the colors, it “unlocks” a lock displayed and reveals a multiplier number from 1X to 5X. That multiplier applies to all wins on that particular reel set for the remainder of the free spins.
