Launch into Big Time Gaming’s Fireworks Megaways for Explosive Wins up to 150,335x!

Here comes the second Big Time Gaming slot of 2024 – Fireworks Megaways. Yes, it has 117,649 ways to win and yes, it has reactions and a Free Spins bonus. So how is it any different from a plethora of their other games? Well, for starters it has a maximum win potential of 150,335x. According to the data that we have, it’s the biggest of any BTG slot! And to celebrate that the team has artistically and skillfully packed a bunch of pyrotechnics into the gameplay which are not only thrilling to watch but experience when you have your skin in the game. More about that in the game overview below.

Game Features

Fireworks Megaways is reminiscent of many BTG slots, including the most recent Bonanza Falls that we reviewed. Instead, the developer let the imagination flow across other areas of the game, the bonuses. So let’s take a look at all the main features and stats that make this potentially the most hardcore slot of the first quarter of this year.

Firework Wild Bonus

The Firework Wild Bonus activates when one of the four Extra Reel positions ignites. Those extra reels are located at the bottom, not the top of the reel, and will light only one symbol position of the four while in the base game. This can ignite the Purple, Red, Blue, or Green Fireworks symbol and turn it into a special Wild symbol that can alter the state of play. Each colour represents a different bonus action:

• Purple: Turns the whole reel wild.
• Red: Adds up to four additional Wilds to the reels.
• Blue: Comes with a multiplier up to x25.
• Green: Acts as a standard Wild.

Despite having only one rocket potential during each spin, fireworks can be lit up again and again during a re-spin or Reaction, a common and essential part of the Megaways mechanic. Although payouts in the main game tend to be rather small, you’re guaranteed to see at least a dozen explosions go off every hundred of turns.

Free Spins

Triggering Free Spins requires two or more Scatter symbols. Initially, 12 Free Spins are awarded, with additional spins for each Scatter beyond the second. The win multiplier starts at one and increases with every Firework Wild Bonus during the Free Spins. Since there’s only a limited number of freebies, the Extra Reel will have two spots ignited during each spin, hence increasing the chances of activating a firework of either colour at least twofold.

Win Exchange and Bonus Buy

These two features have been included in pretty much every game since Apollo Pays, and gladly so. The Win Exchange feature allows players to exchange a win of 25 to 100 times the stake for a chance at 12 Free Spins, and a win of 100 times the stake or more for 12 Free Spins outright. The Bonus Buy option provides players with an opportunity to purchase 12 Free Spins for 100 times the stake.

Final thoughts

Fireworks Megaways presents a volatile game structure with a variety of features, emphasizing the Firework Wild Bonus and the potential for Free Spins. Don’t expect it to be wildly different from the rest when it comes out later this month. Instead, take it as another attempt to craft something interesting from existing and, importantly, proven features like Megaways and the Extra Reel, which saw the light of day back when the original Bonanza came out. It may not be to everyone’s taste, that’s for sure, but it certainly has enough gunpowder to even blow out the majority of mediocre progressive jackpots.
