Hypernova Megaways is a 6-reeled slot with an extra horizontal reel above the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th reels. Each of the vertical reels can contain from 2 up to 7 symbols per spin. The horizontal one lands always 4 symbols per spin. It contributes to the forming of more and better-paying wins with its symbols. The Megaways here, as usual, alter in every spin and can get up to 117,649 per spin. Wins are created from matching symbols landing from left to right.
You need to hit from 2 (for the top-paying one) and 3 to 6 symbols to score a win. Like in Wolf Legend Megaways, Extra Chilli Megaways, and many other slots, in Hypernova Megaways the cascading system is active. It allows you to make wins from cascades active at all times. Winning symbols start to rotate, explode, and are replaced with new ones. You can spin with wagers from 0.40 to £60 per round on all kinds of devices.
The highest potential you have during the Jackpot Respin feature. There, the scatters with values from 1 to 100 times your bet will give you cash rewards and will be summed together. Moreover, the 4 jackpots will add to your balance boost with 10 to 2,000 times your bet. The Gold and the Platinum jackpots give you 250 and 2,000 times your stake and you can win them once per features. The other 2 jackpots you can win many times during the re-spins. The maximal win you can grab in the game is 8,640 times your stake or £250,000.
The action takes place in open space with an intergalactic background in fiery orange and blue in view. You can notice moving tiny stars and cosmic objects. A melodic electronic musical tune will be playing the whole time. Symbols start rotating once they arrange in a paying combination and explode. On the reels, you will notice gemstones and playing cards. The scatter with the cash prize on it and the pink glowing cosmic body behind it centers the attention the most.
There will be cups with the jackpot prizes on them landing on the reels as well. The gameplay is speedy and gives you the cosmic feeling. Only the rotating and exploding of symbols slows the play a bit. Hypernova Megaways has great graphics and a moving soundtrack. They ensure a pleasant experience with the game. Its volatility is medium with a standard RTP of 96.095%.
The symbols include a white diamond, a red heart-shaped gem, a square green gem, a blue triangle gem. The cards 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A are also in play. There is a wild and scatter, too. The wild substitutes all except the scatter symbol. It appears on the top horizontal reel only. The scatter is a glowing and heating cosmic body, 6 of which trigger the Jackpot Respins. It appears with various values of cash rewards on each spin.
The most lucrative in payout symbol is the white semi-transparent diamond. It gives you 10 times your bet for 6 symbols and is the only symbol paying even when landing 2 of it. On the low end of the pay-table are the playing cards.
As we already mentioned, to get the Jackpot Respins you need to land 6 or more of the cash scatter cosmic ball symbols in one spin. As a result, you will get 3 re-spins and a chance to win one of the 4 jackpot prizes. The scatters that triggered the bonus round will be locked in their places. The money rewards they have summed together are guaranteed to you. Now, the re-spins will start and your aim is filling as many positions as you can with cash rewards via the scatters.
Each time you land a bonus scatter with a money prize, the re-spins number will reset to 3 and you will add the sum on it. But, if you get 3 re-spins without any scatter landing during them, the feature will end. At its end, you will receive a total of your money rewards from the stacked glowing balls. During the re-spins you can win one of these jackpots:
The Platinum and Gold jackpots you can win only once per play during the feature. The Silver and Bronze jackpots you can win many times during the re-spins. The cash rewards that you will receive from the scatters landed in the feature have a value in the range of 1 to 100 times your stake.
Besides its exciting design and features, the game isn’t very innovative. The exception is the fact that the free spins aren’t present in it. Instead of them, you have re-spins from the jackpot games. The jackpot cups and the cash rewards from the scatters during the re-spins give you chances to add more to your casino account. Hypernova Megaways has a potential of winning up to 8,640 times your stake. The max cash reward is capped at £250,000. Having in mind that this is the debut Megaways slot from ReelPlay, it is a decent title.
