Beware the Deep Overview
Pragmatic Play has released a new game online slot game called Beware the Deep Megaways.
The game comes with a deep sea theme where it seems we are going down to collect treasure, but a big shark makes things harder. Even though this shark counts as the wild symbol.
The game uses 6 reels that are between 2 and 7 symbols high during each spin. And also has a bottom row of symbols beneath reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. This setup can give up to a maximum of 117.649 Megaways per spin.
Besides standard card symbols and different other high paying symbols, you will also find a shark cage on all normal reels, which counts as the scatter symbol. Wild symbols also appear, but only appear on the extra bottom row.
Beware the Deep Megaways comes with a solid maximum payout of 10.000 times your bet.
Features
Tumbles
Winning combinations are removed from the reels and all symbols fall down. New symbols fall on top and/or slide down into the bottom row and can award another winning combination and the process keeps repeating until no new winning combinations appear.
Wild Multipliers
Wild symbols that land will award a multiplier of between x2 and x25 that is applied to all wins during the current spin, including all tumbles. Each new wild will have its multiplier added to the already active multiplier.
Mystery Symbols
During any spin in both the base game and during free spins, mystery symbols might appear. All instances of the symbols will change into one and the same symbol. Not including wilds or scatters.
Free Spins Features
When you get 4 or more scatter symbols you will trigger the free spins feature. As a player you are able to choose between two different features.
- The Deep Free Spins
4, 5, 6 and 7 scatter symbols will award 10, 12, 14 and 16 free spins respectively. Free spins can be gambled to a maximum of 16, but this can also mean you lose all free spins.
During free spins each winning tumble will increase a general multiplier with x1. Wild symbols will also still add their multiplier to this multiplier.
When a scatter symbol lands on the same reel as a wild symbol, the wild symbol will be locked in place for 1, 2 or 3 tumbles.
2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 scatter symbols during free spins will add 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 extra free spins.
- Even Deeper Free Spins
This feature starts with a guaranteed multiplier of x15, x20, x25 or x30.
A general multiplier will be increased by x1 for each winning tumble. Wild symbols will also add their multiplier to this general multiplier.
When a scatter symbol lands on the same reel as a wild symbol, the wild symbol will be locked in place for 1, 2 or 3 tumbles.
Each scatter symbol appearing during free spins will add x1 to the guaranteed multiplier.
The free spins end when you have reached the guaranteed multiplier.
Buy Bonus
Some casinos will offer the option to buy the free spins feature. For 100 times your bet you will receive 4 or 5 scatter symbols. For 250 times your bet you will receive 6 or 7 scatter symbols.
Verdict
Although they bring the game as an underwater theme, it feels like a shark themed game. And there are a lot of shark slots out there. Games like Razor Returns and Mega Don for instance. And theme wise, this one doesn’t really add anything new.
But game wise, I really enjoy this game. It put enough features in the base game to keep it going. And picking between 2 different free spins feature is also a nice added bonus. And both bonuses have their own pros and cons.
It might not be the most innovating Megaways slot available, but for Pragmatic Play, Beware the Deep is good addition.
