Supermania Slot Review
A bearded hero in a purple suit and flowing red cape stands watch over a sunlit canal city of pastel waterfront buildings, fist raised at nothing in particular. That’s Supermania’s problem in one image: the costume is doing all the work. Strip the cape and you’re left with a 6×4 pay-anywhere grid, tumbles and multiplier symbols that Pragmatic Play have already built, and built better, in Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess and Sweet Bonanza.
It runs at 96.50% RTP with high volatility, and one change to the familiar formula – in free spins, the multiplier total carries across the whole round instead of resetting – gives it a genuinely interesting bonus. The rest is the Venice backdrop and a set of symbols you’ve spun a hundred times.
Symbols Pay Anywhere on the Grid
Symbols pay anywhere on the screen, with no paylines to speak of. The total number of the same symbol on screen at the end of a spin decides the win, so eight diamonds scattered across the six reels pay the same as eight in a neat block. Wins need at least eight of a kind, which is a high bar for the low-value royals but standard for this format.
All symbol wins are multiples of the total bet, and wins from multiple symbols in the same spin are added together. Stakes run from 0.20 to 300.00 per spin. Here’s what each symbol pays:
- Diamond – 10x for 8-9, 25x for 10-11, 50x for 12-30
- Crown – 2.5x for 8-9, 10x for 10-11, 25x for 12-30
- Bracelet – 2x for 8-9, 5x for 10-11, 15x for 12-30
- Flower – 1.5x for 8-9, 2x for 10-11, 12x for 12-30
- A – 1x for 8-9, 1.5x for 10-11, 10x for 12-30
- K – 0.8x for 8-9, 1.2x for 10-11, 8x for 12-30
- Q – 0.5x for 8-9, 1x for 10-11, 5x for 12-30
- J – 0.4x for 8-9, 0.9x for 10-11, 4x for 12-30
- 10 – 0.25x for 8-9, 0.75x for 10-11, 2x for 12-30
The gap between the tiers is steep. Twelve diamonds pay fifty times the bet, while twelve of the 10 symbol pay just twice it, so the premium symbols are doing almost all of the work when a big tumble chain gets going.
Scatter Symbol
The scatter is the hero’s face, present on all reels and paying on any position. Four scatters pay 3x the bet, five pay 5x, and six pay 100x. Four or more also award the free spins round. There’s no wild symbol in this game.
Tumble Feature and Multiplier Symbols
Every winning spin sets off a tumble. Winning symbols are paid and removed, the remaining symbols drop to the bottom, and new symbols fall in from above. Tumbling continues until no new winning combinations appear, with no limit on how many tumbles can chain from a single spin.
All wins from the sequence are added to the balance once the tumbles finish.
Multiplier Symbols
Multiplier symbols appear as coloured circles – green, blue, magenta and red – on all reels, and can land randomly during spins and tumbles in both the base game and free spins. Each takes a random value from 2x up to 500x.
When a tumbling sequence ends, the values of all multiplier symbols on screen are added together, and the total win of the sequence is multiplied by that final value. Several multiplier symbols landing in the same sequence stack their values, which is where the game’s real potential sits.
Free Spins Feature
Landing four or more scatters anywhere on the screen awards the free spins round, which starts with 15 free spins on special reels. The trigger itself pays too, so a six-scatter entry lands the 100x scatter pay and the round.
The difference in the round is how the multipliers behave. Instead of applying once at the end of a tumble sequence, every multiplier symbol that hits during a winning spin has its value added to a running total for the whole round.
That total then multiplies every subsequent win, and keeps growing as new multiplier symbols land. A round that builds early can compound hard.
Retriggers
Three or more scatters during the round award five additional free spins, with no stated limit on how many times this can happen. The free spins win is paid in full once the round completes.
Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins
There are two bet multipliers to choose from, and they change what the game allows. At the standard 20x multiplier, the buy feature is available and natural triggers work as normal.
Switch to the 25x ante bet and the natural chance of hitting free spins is doubled, with more scatters on the reels – but the buy feature switches off. The ante bet is presented in the interface as a Double Chance to Win toggle. It’s one or the other: pay more per spin for twice the trigger odds, or keep the base stake and keep the buy option.
Buy Free Spins
The free spins round can be triggered instantly from the base game for a cost of 100x the base bet, only available while the 20x bet multiplier is selected. The RTP stays at 96.50% whether you buy the round, use the ante bet or play the base game straight.
Our Honest Verdict
Overall Rating: 7.2/10
This is a game you sit through for one thing: a free spins round where every multiplier that lands makes all the wins after it bigger. The hero on his pedestal, the canals, the gems – none of it earns a second look, but that compounding round is worth waiting for, and retriggers keep it alive long after it should have run dry.
The carrying multiplier is the best thing here by some distance, and it’s the one honest reason to pick this over the studio’s other tumble games. The weakness is just as clear: the base game is a slog, with eight-of-a-kind minimums killing most spins, and nothing in the dressing – symbols, theme, sound of the city – that you can’t find done with more charm elsewhere in the same catalogue.
So it’s for players who care about how a bonus round builds and don’t much mind what’s wrapped around it. If the theme is half the fun for you, this caped tour of Venice won’t deliver it. If it’s the math that matters, the round here is better than the costume suggests.
