Fowl Play Megaways Review

It should be noted up front that WMG is a developer that caters mostly to the Italian market, at least for the time being. They are hardly a household name world wide for that reason, and their games usually come with a retro cartoonish style. Their most notable releases are found in what is known as the Fowl Play series. Fowl Play Megaways is their licensed dynamic grid debut, which was what put this developer on the map for us, so to speak.

You will most likely not appreciate what’s on offer in Fowl Play Megaways if you compare it to most Megaways releases. The style is very retro, as mentioned, and the 90.68 % RTP is way below what most players are used to. As a nostalgic one armed bandit trip down memory lane this game works pretty well though, but don’t expect more than 2 to 5 free spins most of the time when the bonus round triggers. Overall, a curiosity worth checking out via the demo game at least, but apparently WMG games are all the rage in Italy.

Fowl Play Megaways Slot Features

The low to high value symbols pay between 3 to 40 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, while the top-tier Golden Egg symbol pays 400x your stake for the same.

The Reaction mechanic kicks in for each win, and this removes all winning symbols from the grid. The gaps are then filled by new and/or existing symbols dropping down from above, and this process repeats indefinitely for as long as your winning streak lasts.

Question mark Mystery Symbols can appear in all stages of the game, and all instances of this symbol are transformed into a randomly chosen matching pay symbol. This may help create a win, or keep your reaction mechanic winning streak going.

The Bonus Round triggers when you land at least 4 chicken scatter symbols anywhere in view, and this takes you to a Bonus Game. You will then see chickens land on a fence, and you get to pick one of them.

• Bronze egg free spins come with an x2 win multiplier.
• Silver egg free spins come with an x3 win multiplier.
• Golden egg free spins come with an x4 win multiplier.

The 200 Spins Fowl Play Megaways Slot Experience

You get to see a few cascading win sequences in the base game, before we trigger the bonus round with 4 chicken scatters at 0:52 into the 2:23-minute highlights video. We got only 2 free spins from the bronze egg, although 5 was possible at best, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We’ll start by saying that Fowl Play Megaways is very far from what most players expect from a Megaways release. If you’re looking for a nostalgic one armed bandit kind of experience, however, you might be thrilled by what’s on offer here. You even get the sound of the arm being pulled per spin, and the visuals are as retro and basic as they can get on a modern video slot. We had to go buy a large pack of Kellogg's Corn Flakes after playing this for a while though, which is something to keep in mind perhaps.

Jokes aside, and comparing this to most Megaways releases as we must, Fowl Play Megaways is highly underwhelming. Once the cute retro charm wears off, the game is a very standard dynamic grid installment with a weak bonus round. Getting only 2 free spins seemed almost like a bad joke, and 5 seems to be the most you can get from the bronze egg at least.

Pros

• Cascading Wins and up to 117,649 Megaways
• Mystery Symbols in all stages of the game
• 3-tier FS w/ up to x4 win multiplier

Cons

• Only 2 or 5 FS w/ the Bronze Egg
• 90.68 % RTP is way below average
