One of the leading names in online gambling, iSoftBet, has prepared a perfect new release for the upcoming holiday season. Titled Scrooge Megaways, the recent launch is part of the developer’s Twisted Tale series. As the name suggests, developers at iSoftBet found their inspiration in one of the most famous misers in fiction, Charles Dickens’ Scrooge from the tale ‘A Christmas Carol’.
Unlike the author of this article, Scrooge hates everything about Christmas. However, after three different ghosts visit him, showing him his past, present and future, he changes for the better. Who knows, maybe one of the ghosts showed him all the slots he would inspire.
Basic Info
Let’s start from the beginning. The Scrooge Megaways slots boast stunning visuals. It’s centred around Ebenezer Scrooge, the main protagonist of the popular Dickens’ story.
The action takes place on a snow-covered street of Victorian London. A festive soundtrack plays in the background, perfectly matching the theme and setting quite a holiday atmosphere. You’ll even hear Scrooge occasionally say a few words and laugh.
The game uses the Megaways mechanic, which means the number of symbols displayed on each reel varies with each spin. The more symbols appear, the more chances there are to form a winning combination. In total, there are up to 117,649 Megaways in play. At least three symbols landing on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost, create a win.
Betting options range from $0.20 to $20 per spin. Volatility is medium to high, with an RTP of 95.98% and the maximum payout worth 12,000 times your bet.
The reels are populated with a mixture of beautifully designed symbols. You’ll encounter lower-value playing cards, followed by a ball and chain, a Christmas turkey, and a top hat. Ebenezer Scrooge is the slot’s highest-paying icon. Land six of these icons in a winning combination to receive a payout of twenty-five times your bet.
Wilds appear on the three middle reels, replacing all regular symbols in a winning combination.
