Holy Diver MegaWays Slot Review

Holy Diver MegaWays Slot: Holy Grail or Not?

Holy Diver MegaWays™ slot is a product of Big Time Gaming. Contrary to what many people may presume the theme of the slot to be, it is actually not about the heavy metal and the head-banging that the slots drew its name from. It is more about a medieval period with knights and treasures.

Gameplay

This MegaWays™ slot is a 6 reel slot with 2 to 7 symbols per reel. The game offers up to 586,971 ways to win during the regular spins. This slot game starts by selection of coin value. The minimum coin value is 0.1 and the maximum 20.

After the selection of the paylines, the game commences through a simple click on the spin button. As the spin goes on, there is an animated knight at the base of the game that walks a path and every once in a while he comes across a treasure chest which he kicks open to reveal the hidden treasures that come in the form of a bonus.

This part of the game is referred to as the Reel Adventure™ Mechanic – something BTG has invented to add a new dimension to the gameplay. 1-5 spins are needed for the knight to kick open a treasure chest and reveal 1 of 4 bonuses, which, in turn, enhances the reels between 2 and 5.

Symbols

The game is punctuated with many symbols, some of which are common and cuts across almost all the slot games. They include cards numbers A, K, Q, J, 10, and 9. These are generally considered the low-value symbols and turn into Wilds if they land anywhere between reels 2 and 5.

Other symbols include the four gems. Among them, the most important is the purple stone. Landing a purple stone across a payline gives the player a 15x multiplier on his winnings.

Unlike other slots from Big Time Gaming casinos, Holy Diver MegaWays™ does not have a Scatter symbol. One must collect the four gems, each of a different color, to activate the Free Spins. These gems are collected through the reel adventure mechanics.

Once the four gems are collected, the player will either choose to continue in the same level but get additional Free Spins, or forfeit the spins for a higher progression with a higher multiplier to the winnings.

Bonuses

Holy Diver MegaWays™ through the reel adventure mechanics offers its players 4 reel modifier bonuses. One bonus is triggered every time the knight kicks a treasure chest:

•  Sword bonus: this is evidenced by the knight raising a shiny sword after kicking the chest. This bonus gives three wild cards on the reels and can award the player up to a multiplier of 7x.
•  Fireball bonus: gives the player a maximum of four flaming wild cards per reel when activated.
•  Standard symbol bonus: a non-wild symbol converted to a wild.
•  Gem symbol bonus: gives gems that are converted to wilds the number of gems awarded depends on the level at which the player is on the game.

All these bonuses make the game more exciting and edgy.
