The Money Men Megaways Slot Review 2024

The Money Men Megaways from Pragmatic Play gives us a taste of the high life with their gangsta new slot. Grinding for the bag and pimping is what they know best, and we’re here to learn as we quest to become ‘money men’ ourselves.

The Money Men Megaways isn’t Pragmatic’s first rodeo in the world of Megaways. They have perhaps, put out more Megaways releases than Big Time Gaming who made it. History has proven that they’re quite adept with the Megaways mechanic, but will The Money Men prove to be a memorable release? or are The Money Men faking it until they make it?

The Money Men Megaways Base Game and Features

The Money Men Megaways is a 6-reel Video Slot with up to 117,649 ways to win. Winning combinations are formed when 3 or more of the same symbols (or 2 or more of the highest-paying symbol) 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 £.€100 per spin, with plenty of other options in between the two. This game has a theoretical RTP of 96.02% and a max win cap of 10,000x.

In terms of symbols, the highest-paying symbol here is the Gold Chain, followed by the Boombox, Car, Cap, Poker Chips, and Watch. Low-paying symbols are standard Ace, King, Queen, and Jack. Wilds appear on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5, substituting for all High and Low-paying symbols.

Each time a winning combination forms, all winning symbols will be removed from the reels, making room for new symbols to drop down from above via a Cascade feature. This continues until no more winning combinations form.

Ante Bet

Before you can begin spinning, you are given the choice to activate the Ante Bet feature. Choosing to activate this feature will increase your current bet by 50%. When active, your chances of triggering the Free Spins round are naturally higher. (RTP 96.03%)

Random Wild Modifiers

During gameplay, whenever a Wild symbol lands before any Cascade, there is a chance that the Random Wild Modifiers feature may randomly trigger, awarding one of the following Modifiers.

• Modifier 1 – Landing a Wild on reel 2 can randomly add other Wilds to random positions on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• Modifier 2 – Landing a Wild on reel 5 can randomly add Mystery symbols to random positions across the entire reel set. Mystery symbols will always transform into the same High or Low-paying symbol.
• Modifier 3 – Landing a Wild on reels 3 or 4 may randomly trigger the Free Spins round. 

The Money Men Megaways Free Spins

There are no Scatter symbols present here so triggering the Free Spins round can only be done by landing a Wild on reels 3 or 4 in order to trigger it. Once Free Spins round has been triggered, you will be awarded 10 Free Spins.

During Free Spins, each time a Wild symbol lands before a Cascade, it will guarantee to trigger one of the following Modifiers.

• Modifier 1 – Wilds that land on reel 2 will award additional Wilds to random positions on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
• Modifier 2 – Wilds that land on reel 5 will award Mystery symbols to random positions across the reel set. Mystery symbols transform to the same High or Low-paying symbol.
• Modifier 3 – Wilds that land on reels 3 or 4 will award an additional +2 Free Spins and increases the Win Multiplier by either +x1, +x2, or +x3. The Multiplier is collected and stored in a special Meter that is applied to all wins during this time.

The Money Men Megaways Bonus Buy

Those outside the UK will benefit from a Bonus Buy option. Pragmatic Play has granted players access to the Free Spins round for a total cost of 100x your bet. (RTP 96.01%)

The Money Men Megaways: Our Verdict

Ali G Indahouse springs to mind when it comes to this game, but did we ever establish if East Side or West Side was the best? Talking of East and West, it’s not our first rodeo with a theme like this one thanks to NoLimit City’s East Coast vs West Coast, which was and still is a highly desired slot.

Turning our attention back to The Money Men Megaways, Pragmatic Play lights up the reels with 3 top tier Gangsters conviently placed above the reel set, waiting to deliver 1 of 3 Random Wild Modifiers to the reels.

These Random Wild Modifiers can award additional Wilds, Mystery symbols, and can even trigger the Free Spins round if you’re lucky enough to land them on reels 3 or 4.

During Free Spins, up to 3 Modifiers are always guaranteed when a Wild lands on reels 2, 3, 4, or 5. Additional Wilds and Mystery symbols make up for two of these, but the third awards additional Free Spins and increases the Win Multiplier by x1, x2, or x3. 

We may not end up quite as flush as these wealthy chaps above the reel set, but The Money Men Megaways can help you along by delivering a max win cap of up to 10,000x!
