The Godfather Megaways is based on the iconic 1972 film “The Godfather,” directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The slot immerses players in the world of the Italian-American mafia, specifically the Corleone crime family. The game's background appears to be Don Corleone's office, a setting central to many pivotal scenes in the film.
Core Game Mechanics
The Godfather Megaways features a 6-reel layout with a variable number of symbols on each reel, utilizing Big Time Gaming's Megaways mechanic. This system allows for up to 117,649 ways to win on each spin. The slot incorporates a cascading reels feature. After each win, the winning symbols are removed from the reels, allowing new symbols to fall into their places. This process continues until no new winning combinations are formed.
Wild symbols, which substitute for all regular symbols, appear only on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5. The game also features Bonus symbols, which can appear on all reels and are key to triggering the free spins feature.
The base game includes three randomly triggered modifiers:
- Max Megaways: Guarantees 117,649 Megaways for the spin.
- Wild Conversion: Transforms all instances of a random royal symbol into wilds on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- Bonus Reel Wilds: Converts all symbols on the bonus reel to wilds.
Bonus Features
Free Spins: The main bonus feature is triggered by landing four or more Bonus symbols. Players receive 10 free spins with one modifier for four scatters, two modifiers for five scatters, and three modifiers for six scatters. During free spins, landing 4, 5, or 6 scatters awards 2, 4, or 6 additional spins respectively, along with an extra modifier.
Free Spins Modifiers:
- Double Multiplier: Each cascade increases the win multiplier by 2 instead of 1.
- +5 Free Spins: Awards 5 extra free spins.
- +5 Multiplier Boost: Adds 5 to the current multiplier.
- Min. 10K Ways: Guarantees a minimum of 10,000 Megaways on each free spin.
- Wild Conversion: Transforms all instances of a random royal symbol into wilds on reels 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Free spins begin with a 1x multiplier (unless the +5 Multiplier modifier is chosen), which increases by 1 with each cascade. The multiplier doesn't reset between spins and has no upper limit.
