Mighty Munching Melons

The fruity fun takes place on a 5×3 grid, with symbols paying from left to right, on 10 paylines, starting from the leftmost reel. There are some seriously great payouts to be expected in the base game, to the tune of:  

• Orange – Pays 1000x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels   
• Lemon – Pays 200x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels  
• Grapes – Pays 20x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels  
• Cherry – Pays 10x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels  
• A Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels  
• K Symbol – Pays 5x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels  
• Q Symbol – Pays 2x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels   
• J Symbol – Pays 2x for 5 adjacent symbols on the reels    

Bonus Symbol – This is the first hint at what’s to come – it’s a watermelon shaped like Pacman, with a mouth and everything! When three or more of these hit, it will send us to the Bonus Round! When 2 of these symbols land, there’s a chance for a third to randomly trigger too!  

Bonus Round – Here’s where the slot becomes a whole new game all on its own! It’ll take a minute to explain, so let’s jump right in. The standard grid is replaced with a grid that spins to land either Money Symbols, Melon Symbols, Melon Ghost Symbols, and blanks! Every spin costs a life, and every time you land a symbol other than a blank, your lives are reset – so this round can take quite a while, which is awesome!   

As you spin, you’ll start landing Money Symbols with values attached to them, they stay on the grid until they are collected by the Melon Symbol – starting to sound a lot like Pacman, right? The money Symbols themselves have no value until they are actually collected, which happens when a Melon Symbol lands on the reels and starts to munch in a certain direction. Every time a Melon Symbol lands, the multiplier it applies when it collects Money Symbols increases by 1x. Then we have the Ghost Melon Symbol that turns our Melon Symbol into a munching machine, making it either occupy a 2×2 or 3×3 space as it munches across the screen and comes back around the other way.  

There’s one last surprise in this awesome round – the chance that you’re randomly upgraded from 3 to 4 lives that lasts the round – when we were testing, this happened to us as we were about to lose our last life, it sure did put a smile on our face! The round ends when you run out of lives, and all coins that are on the reels are collected with no multiplier applied.  

Buy Bonus Round – You can purchase this awesome experience without the fuss of collecting the symbols yourself for 100x the current bet!  

Ante Bet – You can increase your chances of winning big and landing Bonus Symbols by enabling the Ante Bet option. This activates a 30x bet multiplier, which causes the gameplay to produce more Bonus Symbols, as mentioned above.  

Betting starts € 0.20 and goes all the way up to a super high € 360. The max win sits at a lovely 3000x, available both in the base game and the Bonus Round. The theoretical RTP sits at an awesome high of 96.05% for all game modes. The game has a very high volatility, so we can see big wins from big bets!  

It’s set in a greenhouse where green is the colour of melons, and of course, money! The base game takes place when it’s light out, and the Bonus Round happens after dark. The animations are all retro-inspired, adding to the overall classic feel of this game. We mentioned in the beginning how retro it feels, with a modern element to it – all of the design work really makes us feel a little nostalgic! Then, we can’t talk nostalgia without mentioning the music and sound effects! The arcade-sounding trills and bells along with the eating sound the Melon Symbol makes is enough for any of us to fall in love with the old-school feel of this slot!  

There you have it, the slot that is half-slot – half old-school arcade game. The best part- you don’t have to choose between the two – it’s all available in Mighty Munching Melons. With an awesome base game payout potential, stunning graphics that bring that awesome arcade feeling to life, and one of the most interactive bonus features we’ve seen in a while, Mighty Munching Melons is a total hit!
