Well of Wilds Megaways Review
There's no denying that Irish slots have been oversaturated with bland mechanics and dull visuals. That's why Red Tiger Gaming decided to change up this opinion by utilising the Big Time Gaming Megaways mechanic to enhance one of their most beloved titles to give it the upgrade it deserves.
The original Well of Wishes was released in 2019 to a decent amount of success, Red Tiger Gaming decided that this wasn't enough. Now, the slot plays on 6-reels with 117,649 ways to win instead of the original 10 paylines.
Well of Wilds Megaways has a huge amount of features, but more importantly contains the infamous Red Tiger Daily Jackpot. Will this actually be more than your typical Irish slot, or will it fall into a mediocre category?
Design
As you open up the slot, you'll notice that the reels are centred in a beautiful looking well. Naturally, there are various coins thrown in there mixed with different four-leaf clovers. As you spin the spins, there is a slight ripple throughout along with various sparkles which just adds an extra level of detail to the slot which is heavily appreciated.
Of course, the reels feature various Irish symbols such as a four-leaf clover, horseshoes and rabbit's feet to try to give players as much luck as possible. Each of the symbols has an intricate design in the corner of them which makes them all feel a bit more consistent.
As this is an Irish slot, you'd probably expect overly cheesy and obnoxious Irish jig music. However, it's more of a muted and calming Irish track that still features the quintessential tunes but they are instead more manageable to listen to.
Gameplay
Well of Wilds Megaways is a huge improvement to the original as the Megaways mechanic just opens up the slot even more! There are even more ways to win and more ways to trigger the bonuses. Despite having a vast amount of features, the gameplay is straightforward and easy for people to follow.
To the bottom right of the reels, you'll notice the spin button which is hard to miss. The autospin and bet level can be found to the left of this with further menus being found at the bottom of the screen.
Win Potential
Throughout the base game, you can expect to win up to 10,000x your stake through the multipliers and Well of Wilds. However, the biggest wins come from the Red Tiger Daily Jackpot. Ultimately, there are three progressive jackpots that can be won and these include the Daily, Hourly and Daily Booster.
The RTP of this slot is 92.68% which is to be expected in a slot with a jackpot attached. Similarly, this is a high volatility slot which is to be expected with a jackpot.
Our Verdict
There is no denying that Well of Wilds Megaways is a huge improvement from the original title and that the addition of Megaways is perfect. Not only is Megaways added but also a progressive jackpot that ultimately means that there are bigger prizes to be won.
In terms of the design and gameplay, Well of Wilds Megaways looks and play beautifully with it highlighting exactly what an online slot should look and play like. This could be one of the best Irish slots that we've seen in a long time and we wouldn't be surprised to see it become a fan favourite - so definitely make sure that you give it a spin.
