Mega Riseby Red Tiger Gaming

Screenshots

Sometimes, simple is best and less is more. That’s not often true in the world of slot games where developers are racing to create the loudest and most feature-filled offerings that often assault the senses with relentless graphical and sound effects.

And not that it isn’t fun, but sometimes punters are in the mood for something more classic and subdued.

Luckily, Red Tiger Gaming is here with its title Mega Rise, which is a classic 3x3 game with 5 paylines. And if that sounds too simple then you don’t know this developer very well. Because they managed to pack this with some very interesting features while remaining true to a minimalist philosophy.

Theme

Like most games from this developer, this title also goes for a sophisticated background decked out in royal purple with minimal effects.

The result is a pleasant and inviting atmosphere strengthened by a very chill soundtrack.

The symbols…

…are all the classics we know and love from fruit machines. There are watermelons, grapes, cherries, and lemons as well as the requisite lucky 7s and liberty bells topped off with a silver star.

Overall, it’s a very classic and classy presentation that shows you don’t need fancy themes and many graphical effects to create something engaging and impactful.

Betting Options and Functions

Like in most other offerings from this developer, the bet range goes from 20 pence to the max bet of 20 pounds. It’s not exactly a high roller slot.

Keeping in line with the minimalist design, there are only 5 fixed paylines on this 3x3 grid.

Autospin is offered with all the options that are expected from it and a handy turbo button can speed up the proceedings if you’re in a hurry and just want to see the results as soon as possible.

Special Features

Just because a game tries to be minimalist doesn’t mean its special features have to be. Quite the opposite, the special feature here is all about huge multipliers with nothing minimalist about them.

Here’s how it works. A bar to the right of the grid keeps track of the last three symbols that were in a winning combination. Every time there is a win it increases the multiplier for that symbol by one. But if there is a win with a symbol not on the bar, one of them will get replaced.

There are also silver and golden chips that can land on the reels at any time and increase the multiplier of a random symbol on the bar by a certain amount.

Alternatively, they can lock a symbol on the bar so that it doesn’t get replaced until there is a win featuring that symbol.

While different symbols do have different payouts (lucky 7 is the top payout) all of them can be supercharged to x100 if the punter is lucky enough.

Our Take

Red Tiger has done it yet again. Taking a simple idea and making it excellent by just modernizing it a bit and equipping it with one killer feature. That’s all it takes for this game to keep our attention and we’re betting it will keep yours too as you try to raise those multipliers as high as they will go.
