Mega Don Slot Review 2024
Play’n GO is taking us deep underwater where sharp-toothed predators are on the hunt for the biggest fish, in Mega Don!
Hungry sharks swarm the Ocean in search of thier next meal. Here you will come across the aloof Leopard Shark, the headstrong Hammerhead shark and saving the best till last, the king of the ocean, the Great White Shark. You will also get to meet other hunters like the Barracuda and Marlin. Where there’s predators there’s got to be prey right? The Box Fish, Puffer Fish, Minnow and Shrimp need to be on their game if they are to survive.
When you live in the Ocean, It’s every shark for themselves. When you were younger you may have been taught that sharing is caring but when it comes to shark dinner, there’s no such thing! With other Predators on the prow for prey, will the Hammerhead and Leopard sharks stand a chance against the mighty Great White?
Let’s play on and find out!
Mega Don Base Game and Features
Mega Don is a 5 reel slot with 1,024 ways to win. In order to form a winning combination, you will need to connect 3 or more (or 2 or more of the highest paying symbols) from left to right, starting from the left-most reel. The minimum bet available here is £/€0.10 per spin and the maximum bet available is £/€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two.
In terms of symbols, the highest paying regular symbol in Mega Don is the Great White Shark, followed by the Hammerhead and Leopard Sharks. Low-paying symbols fall to the Barracuda, Marlin, Box Fish, Puffer Fish, Minnow and Shrimp. There is also a Wild symbol present which substitutes for all symbols except Scatters.
Mega Don focuses on Symbol Transformation and Progression which you will get a taste of in the Snack Time feature in the base game. More on this below!
Snack Time
During any random spin in the base game the Snack Time feature can activate.
Once active, up to 3 random Low-paying Fish symbols can be chosen for Upgrade. If they appear anywhere on the reels, they will automatically transform into 1 of 3 High-paying Shark symbols.
Mega Don: Shark Feast Free Spins
Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters in any position on the reels tirggers the Shark Feast Free Spins round, awarding 6, 9 and 12 Free Spins respectively. The more Scatters that land during the initial trigger, the more Upgrading symbols you will be awarded at the start of the round.
During Free Spins, each time your Upgrading Symbol(s) land on the reels they will automatically transform into 1 of 3 Shark symbols. Landing 3, 4 or 5 Scatters during Free Spins awards an additional +3, +6 and +9 Free Spins plus +1, +2 and +3 extra Upgrading symbols respectively, up to a maximum of 6.
Mega Don: Our Verdict
It’s not our first rodeo in shark-infested waters and it probably won’t be the last, but is Mega Don one of the better options? Well that’s for you to decide. Mega Don isn’t exactly the most gripping of shark-themed slots we’ve come across but there’s still plenty of action to be had here.
Maybe it seems a little harsh to compare Mega Don to Push Gaming’s Razor Shark considering they have completely different features, but its hard not to given the theme. Razor Shark came to us in 2019 when there was space in the slots market for shark-themed slots but since then some pretty epic titles like Ocean Hunter and 4 Fantastic Fish have come about which adds a little pressure to Providers who choose to dabble in this particular theme.
The design may not be the most appealing but Mega Don grabs our attention through the Snack Time feature and Shark Feast Free Spins round. Mega Don is all about Symbol Transformation and Progression which is something we’ve seen in a previous Play’n GO title, The Last Sundown.
The Snack Time feature is exactly that, a little something to keep you occupied whilst you wait for the main course to trigger. The Shark Feast round is very similar to the Snack Time feature only on a much larger scale with a lot more potential, up to a whopping 10,000x to be precise!
On the surface Mega Don may not look that exciting, but the deeper you go the more thrilling it gets.
