Hyper Strike Cash Megaways Slot Review 2024

Gameburger Studios‘ Hyper Strike series meets the Megaways mechanic in their latest release, Hyper Strike Cash Megaways!

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways is the latest ‘Hyper’ title to join the collection, and it probably won’t be the last. Gameburger Studios already has quite an assortment of Hyper titles under their belt, including the original Hyper Strike, Hyper Strike Hyperspins, and our personal favourite, Hyper Star.

Taking the series to the next level, Gameburger Studios is upping the appeal by introducing Big Time Gaming’s Megaways mechanic into the mix, but will this decision pay off? Let’s play on and find out!

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways Base Game and Features

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways is a 6-reel slot with up to 117,649 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols land from left to right, starting from the leftmost reel.

The minimum bet available here is £.€0.20 per spin and the maximum bet available is £.€20 per spin, with plenty of other betting options in between the two. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.10% and a max win cap of 12,500x.

In terms of symbols, the highest-paying regular symbol here is the Triple 7s, followed by the Money Sign. Bells, and Triple Bars. Low-paying symbols fall to Melons, Oranges, Lemons, Plums, and Cherries. Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, substituting for all other symbols except Scatters.

Each time a winning combination forms, all winning symbols will be removed from the reels, and new symbols will drop down from above via a Cascade, with the possibility of forming even more winning combinations.

Win Booster

Before you can begin spinning, you will be given the option to activate the Win Booster feature. Choosing to activate this feature Doubles your current bet.

Once active, the Win Booster awards a minimum of 4 symbols per reel, resulting in a minimum of 4,096 ways to win. The Win Booster also increases your chances of triggering the Free Spins round and Epic Strike feature.

Epic Strike Feature

During the base game, landing 3 or more Epic Strike symbols across the reels awards a Cash Prize from the list to the left of the reel set. The more Epic Strike symbols you land, the higher the Cash Prize.

• 3 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 1x your bet.
• 4 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 5x your bet.
• 5 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 15x your bet.
• 6 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 40x your bet.
• 7 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 100x your bet.
• 8 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 500x your bet.
• 9 Epic Strike Symbols – Awards 2,000x your bet.

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways Free Spins

Landing 4 or more Scatters that spell out C.A.S.H across the reels during the base game triggers the Free Spins round, awarding 10 Free Spins. Each Scatter that lands after the 4th will award an additional +5 Free Spins.

During Free Spins, a Global Win Multiplier is active that starts at x1. This Multiplier will increase by +x1 after each new Cascade. The multiplier will be applied to all wins except Epic Strike feature wins.

Retrigger Scatter

During Free Spins, each time a Retrigger Scatter lands in view, it will be collected and stored in a special Trail. Every 4th Scatter that is collected will award an additional +4 Free Spins. The Trail will reset when 4 Scatters have been collected.

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways Bonus Buy

Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option. Gameburger Studios has granted players access to 3 Bonus Buy options, as follows.

• 10 Free Spins – 50x your bet.
• 15 Free Spins – 70x your bet.
• 20 Free Spins – 85x your bet.

You can also purchase the above Bonus Buy options with the Win Booster feature active, but this increases the cost of each option, as follows.

• 10 Free Spins – 100x your bet.
• 15 Free Spins – 140x your bet.
• 20 Free Spins – 170x your bet.

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways: Our Verdict

Hyper Strike Cash Megaways continues the funky theme seen in previous hyper titles, with vibrant colours and popping sound effects that certainly catch our attention, but can the same be said about gameplay?

The Megaways mechanic has come a long way since it was first released, with a huge chunk of slots providers using this in many of their own titles, so what’s so special about this one? The Megaways mechanic, although a great addition to the Hyper series, is only a small part of what Hyper Strike Cash Megaways has to offer.

The Epic Strike feature is a great way to keep the base game interesting, and one that can deliver up to 2,000x if you can land enough Epic Strike symbols in one spin. You might find the smaller wins easier to achieve, but it’s not impossible to reach the bigger amounts if you’re lucky enough.

Gameburger Studios has also catered to those within Bonus Buy territory, with 3 Free Spins options to choose from. What’s interesting here is that Gameburger Studios has combined both their Bonus Buy and Win Booster options together, so you can buy the Free Spins round with a minimum of 4,096 ways to win active, but it comes at a higher price.

All in all, Hyper Strike Cash Megaways stands out as another dark horse with plenty to offer. It doesn’t look particularly imposing at first, but if given a chance it’ll dazzle you.
