Rocket Blast Megaways Review

One would think, after managing the incredible feat of putting a man on the moon all the way back in 1969, that there would be a progressive and accelerating development of our space exploration abilities. An explosion of new technology hasn’t really done too much in that department over the last 50 years, however, although Elon Musk is certainly trying. Anyway, Pragmatic Play’s Rocket Blast Megaways takes you further into space than we’ve gone as a species, and you get to meet some cute alien critters as well.

The aliens all have their own unique reactions when part of a winning combo, and we were charmed by the visual presentation at least. The Rocket Feature is one to look out for, as it turns symbols below wild. This wild stack nudges down per tumble win, and you get a progressive win multiplier that never resets in the bonus round. The 10,000x potential is decent, and while Rocket Blast Megaways might not be anything too revolutionary, it’s still a pretty solid release in the popular dynamic reels genre.

Rocket Blast Megaways Slot Features

The alien premium symbols pay between 1.5 and 20 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Wild symbol can appear on reels 2 to 6 to help complete and/or improve wins. The Tumble Wins mechanic kicks in after each win, and this removes the winning symbols. New and/or existing symbols will then tumble down to fill the gaps, and the process repeats as long as you keep landing new winning combinations. Your total win is paid when you land a non-winning tumble.

The Rocket symbol transforms all symbols below on the same reel into wilds, before the rocket takes off to leave a wild behind in its own position as well. The stack of wilds will then proceed to nudge one step down per tumble win that follows, and the wilds are removed as they hit the bottom of the grid. All nudging wilds are removed when you land a non-winning tumble, and this is known as the Rocket Feature.

The Rocket Blast Megaways Slot Bonus Round triggers from 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 scatter symbols in view, and this awards 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 35 free spins, respectively. You get the option to gamble for more spins, but you risk losing the whole feature if you do. You’ll benefit from a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per tumble. The multiplier never resets for as long as the bonus round lasts, and 3 scatters in view awards +4 extra spins.

On a final note with regards to the features, a Bonus Buy option is available in some jurisdictions, but not in the UK for sure. If eligible, you can purchase the bonus round for 100x the stake, and this gives you between 4 and 9 triggering scatters on the spin that follows. The organic bonus round hit rate is 1 in 391.78 spins.

You get to see a longer tumble sequence with nudging wilds in the base game, before we purchase and trigger the bonus round at the 1-minute mark. We got 5 triggering scatters, and decided to not risk our 15 free spins in the gamble feature. The bonus round plays out for the remainder of the 3:10-minute video, and you can check it out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

You get to meet some charming alien critters in this game, and the visuals are up to par as they usually are from this developer. Rocket Blast Megaways is a fairly standard dynamic grid release all things considered, but the Rocket Feature makes it stand out a bit from the crowd. It comes with a neat rocket blast off animation, and the stack of wilds can make a dent on occasions. They nudge down whether they are part of a winning combo or not, but more modifiers could’ve been included in our opinion.

The base game is decent enough thanks to the Rockets you get on a fairly regular basis though, and everything is enhanced when the progressive multiplier is introduced in the bonus round. The gamble feature seems a bit risky, but at least you have the option to improve things for yourself. The 10,000x potential is about average for this genre, and it comes with a pretty solid 1 in 662,251 spins hit rate. Rocket Blast Megaways is a bit too run of the mill to truly make a lasting impression, but the charming visuals and the Rocket feature makes it worth a closer look nonetheless.
