Maze Escape Megaways

Are you an iGamer that just can’t get enough of exploring new and interesting online slot games? We happen to have quite a few of these casino games right here at the best bingo site, and the one we’ll be unpacking today is Maze Escape Megaways. With a unique feature that sees winning symbols remain on the reels, plus a free spins feature, there’s quite a bit to get through in this brand new review.

So how does Maze Escape Megaways work? The concept is quite tricky to grasp. There's a 6x7 grid, and on this grid you'll notice the first 2 and last 2 rows host blank windows. Only the middle 3 reels are initially in play, seeing symbols drop and potentially form winning combinations. The objective is to unlock these blank windows to create more paylines, as Maze Escape Megaways by Fantasma Games is actually a Megaways online slot with a possible 117,649 paylines in play.

We'll get to how you unlock the blank spaces on the grid a little later, but first, some wagering info. The biggest possible win all players are in with a chance of claiming in Maze Escape Megaways is up to 25,000x your stake. The minimum stake limit is 0.40, while you can place bets as high as 40.00. The reels have high volatility levels, but cascading reels are there to trigger consecutive wins.

The lower-paying icons are ancient Greek symbols, the medium-paying symbols are an axe, a wreath and a battle helmet, while the higher-paying symbols are three different characters.

Three symbols are hidden under blank spaces, and can be unveiled when revealing these ‘blocker’ symbols (empty spaces). There’s also a scatter to trigger bonus play.

To unlock 'blocker' symbols, you need to trigger the Shifting Maze Avalanche. To do this, you need to land winning combinations using a symbol in the space on the grid of the middle row on the 1st reel. Once this happens, the winning symbols will remain in place while other symbols are removed and new icons fall into the reels. If a win happens again, then the winning icons move one space to the left, and the sequence happens again. This is when blockers can be unlocked. The three symbols under the blockers will trigger a random modifier feature if unblocked.

Landing three scatters on the same spin awards the free spins feature. During the free spins, you'll trigger the Shifting Maze Avalanche with any win you land anywhere on the grid. You'll also be able to unblock the three blocked symbols during free spins, which during this feature will add more free spins or multipliers.

Progression in the online casino industry is always welcomed, because some casino games need to find new ways to entertain. However, Maze Escape Megaways perhaps goes a little too far when trying to offer new aspects. It's no good if players can't understand the game they're playing. That said, if you can get to grips with this slot, then you might very well enjoy the thrills the Shifting Maze Avalanche brings. Why not try it now at Gala Bingo. Good luck!
