Black Gold Megaways™ is a 6 reel slot from Stakelogic that uses the Megaways™ gaming engine that is under license from Big Time Gaming. With this reel modifying mechanic in place Black Gold Megaways™ can produce up to 117,649 paylines on any given spin. 

Bet sizes see players offered a wide variety of stakes to play at, and the minimum amount needed to set the reels spinning is just €0.20, whilst the maximum bet is €40. 

Black Gold Megaways™ is StakeLogic's first outing with the Megaways™ license, and they have gone for the tried and tested approach of 117,649 paylines and the inclusion of cascading reels. 

Also known as tumbling or falling reels, the cascading reel mechanic removes all symbols involved in winning combinations and replaces them with new symbols that drop down from above, or roll in on the upper reel. These falling reels can bring with them some big win potential if you have a high amount of Megaways™ in play, multiple cascades may ensue and bring with them premium paying symbols that can pay you a tidy sum if you hit a nice run of luck.   

There are 5 Bonus feature symbols in the bonus reel on top of the main reels on Black Gold Megaways™. If one of these bonus feature symbol lands in the central section of the bonus reel, either one or several of the valves from the pipeline below the main reels will open and spit oil on the reel above the valve. Any reel that happens to get covered with that oil will receive the bonus feature indicated by the bonus feature symbol that landed in the central section of the bonus reel.

• Random Bonus Feature - A wild symbol will be randomly placed anywhere on one of the 6 main reels to increase your chances of hitting a win.

• Multiplier Bonus Feature - Two multiplier symbols will be placed in random positions on the reels, this offers some excellent winning potential if you can connect your win across the whole of the 6 reels. 

• DoubleUp Bonus Feature - Any wins that you achieve will be multiplied by x2, this includes all cascading wins that are part of the bonus feature, triggering this bonus with a high amount of Megaways™ in play could lead to subsequent high paying reel cascades.

• Stacked Bonus Feature - When this bonus is triggered one or two stacks of wild symbols will be added to reels 2, 3, 4, or 5. A good set up here on the reels may lead to a nice balance booster.

• Destroyer Bonus Feature - When the destroyer bonus is triggered all regular symbols will be removed from the game reels, this will just leave the premium paying symbols in play and the chance of some big wins. 

BLACK GOLD MEGAWAYS™ FREE SPINS FEATURE

To trigger the free spin feature on Black Gold Megaways™ you will need to land 4 or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. If this is achieved then you will be awarded with 12 free spins to begin the bonus round with, each additional scatter symbol involved in triggering the bonus will add an additional 5 spins to your starting total.

The main aim during the bonus round is to hit as many successful reel cascades as possible, each time you achieve a winning combination then your unlimited multiplier will increase by x1 in value. This multiplier is displayed at the bottom of the screen and will begin at x1 when your bonus round gets under way, it is more than capable on a good feature of reaching the 20s or 30s and big wins are very possible from this entertaining bonus.

Additional free spins can be added through a re-trigger, and 3 scatter symbols in view will award 5 extra spins, whilst 4 scatter symbols will reward you with an extra 10 spins.

Players are given the option to gamble their wins on Black Gold Megaways™ and this is made possible through the card gamble. If you successfully guess the colour of the next card then your current win will be doubled, if you can correctly guess the next suit of the card then your win will be multiplied by 4.

StakeLogic's debut slot Black Gold Megaways™ is a game that throws up a few surprises with the 5 random bonus features that can be activated. We have seen similar features before in the Megaways™ series but never on a slot that features 117,649 paylines. 

The bonus round sees StakeLogic go for the standard Bonanza free spin feature set up, but this is how nearly all slot developers new to the Megaways™ license enter the market, it's a proven method that players like and it gives the game provider a chance to sound out the Megaways™ mechanic.

It's a good start from StakeLogic and we look forward to seeing what their future Megaways™ slots have to offer.
