10001 Nights Megaways

We quite enjoyed the original 10,001 Nights from Red Tiger, and we had our hopes up as soon as we heard rumors of a dynamic reels version. 10,001 Nights Megaways will probably not disappoint fans, but we had hoped for some novelty and a higher potential to be honest. The features are close to identical, except for the added progressive multiplier in the bonus round.

A progressive multiplier does make a significant difference though, or at least it could’ve if the potential wasn’t exactly the same as before. The 10,346x max win is still a respectable number, of course, just not spectacular in any way for this engine. The visual presentation is solid as usual from this developer, but not much has changed there either.

10,001 Nights Megaways Slot Features

The symbols pay a bit less than in the original game, and you get between 0.8 to 3 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins with the premium symbols. Wins trigger the Cascading feature, where the winning symbols are removed to make room for new and/or existing symbols to drop down from above. This process repeats as long as you keep winning, and wilds substitute for pay symbols. Wilds only come from the features we’ll take a closer look at below.

All Magic Lamp symbols are filled with magic oil, and this oil is collected in the Feature Lamps above the grid. Filling a feature lamp unlocks a modifier in the following order, and these modifiers can trigger at random times after they’ve been unlocked:

• Imperial Spin (6 lamps collected) – removes low value symbols from the grid when triggered.
• Random Wilds (13 lamps collected) – adds up to 10 wilds randomly to the grid.
• Multi-Pick Bonus (21 lamps collected) – pick 1 of 3 cards to get an x3, x5 or x8 multiplier that applies to your next win.
• Mega Wilds (30 lamps collected) – awards up to 4 full wild reels, each with a multiplier of x2 to x7.

Choose your stake wisely, as you will have to start all over again with the unlocking process if you change it (you can always change back though, as your progress is saved for each stake). What’s more, you can trigger more than one modifier at the same time, so any combination of the above is possible.

The Destiny Free Spins round triggers when you land 3 destiny spins scatters in view, and this awards 8 free spins. You get +2 additional spins on top of that for each extra triggering scatter above the minimum of 3. Landing 3 scatters during the feature awards +6 extra spins, and the progressive multiplier starts at x1 and increases by +1 per cascading win, up to x20 at the most.

The 200 Spins 10,001 Nights Megaways Slot Experience

You get to see some smaller base game wins, but we didn’t manage to fill even a single Feature Lamp. The Destiny Bonus Round triggers at 1:51 into the 4:45-minute highlights video, and we retriggered 6 extra spins on top of the initial 8 free spins. You can see it all for yourself by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

If you compare 10,001 Nights Megaways to the average release utilizing the dynamic reels engine, this Red Tiger installment is both highly original and solid in all ways. However, it’s also very similar to the original release, and even the 10,346x potential is the same. Some jewelry has been added as ornaments inside the tent, but other than that both the visuals and the features are close to what you find in the first game.

It boils down to whether or not you prefer up to 117,649 win ways on a dynamic grid, or if you’re happy with the static grid in the first game. Unlocking the modifiers requires a bit of patience, but the base game becomes far more interesting once all 4 of them can combine in different ways. The progressive multiplier is the other selling point, and it adds to the tension as you meet your destiny in the bonus round.
