Siberian Storm MegaJackpots Slot Review

Few of us need much persuasion to play any of the slot games from the brilliant IGT back catalogue at the best of times, and you may have already experienced the original Siberian Storm game either on land or online.

The chances are then that you won’t need convincing about the merits of this big brother: Siberian Storm MegaJackpots. It contains all of the goodness of the classic title, and adds into the mix the opportunity to scoop the huge progressive MegaJackpots prize; which can mount up to a cool $1 million or more!

As with the original Siberian Storm, the theme is that of an epic snowbound adventure, which is backed by ice-cold graphics and an ominous soundtrack that builds a sense of the journey to come.

Factor in the MultiWay Xtra payouts that deliver 720 ways in which you can win, and it is clear that Siberian Storm MegaJackpots offers a little something for everyone.

Winter Wonderland

As you can probably guess from the game’s name, Siberian Storm is set in the icy depths of the tundra. You’ll bump into this area’s most famous natives, such as the tiger, and if you match three or more of this symbol you really will be roaring with success. There is a series of other symbols, including the eye of the tiger and a conch, although in truth the nature of some of these is a bit bizarre given the overall theme. Still, that’s not enough to put off most players given the rewards on offer.

Backed by the trademark IGT graphics and sound effects, Siberian Storm utilises five reels in a 3-4-5-4-3 layout. Payouts range from a few matching symbols on adjacent reels right through to the big MegaJackpots prize, so every spin has the potential for magic.

MegaJackpot Joy

If you manage to spin five of the MegaJackpots symbol across the reels then you’d better sit down for a minute because you may have just become a millionaire!

That’s the beauty of this MegaJackpots version of Siberian Storm: it brings the brilliant gameplay of the original title with the enhancement of potentially winning a life-changing sum of money!

Remember, the odds of winning this fantastic top prize are low, and indeed are proportional to your original stake: so the higher your bet, the more chance you have of scooping the big one.

You can even have a shot of winning the MegaJackpot without spinning the big five symbols along the central payline. After each spin, a draw takes place ‘behind the scenes’ that could also be a winner.

More Ways to Win

There is more than one way to cook the goose in Siberian Storm MegaJackpots, and even if you don’t scoop the main prize there is still plenty to play for.

The MultiWay Xtra feature delivers rewards for matching symbols too, and pays out from both left-to-right and right-to-left. With 720 ways in which to win on each spin, you can pick up a cash prize for matching symbols in any position on adjacent reels, and more than one of the same symbol in a column multiplies the award.

The wild symbol will substitute for any other symbol (except the bonus symbols), and this of course can help to create an extra winning combination or two. Do note though that only the highest MultiWay Xtra win for each symbol will be paid, rather than multiple rewards.

Free Spins, Free Wins

The reels in the Free Spins Bonus are super-rich – delivering as they do offering stacked wilds and the chance to re-trigger the bonus multiple times.

The method of triggering the Free Spins round is trickier than in many other slot games: you need to spin the scatter symbol on five consecutive reels, rather than the normal three, but if you are lucky enough to do so then plenty of rewards await you.

Each winning combo of five bonus symbols pays a special reward in addition to eight free spins, and courtesy of the stacked scatter symbols it is possible to earn up to a total of 96 free spins. Of course, this feature can be re-triggered up to a maximum of 240 freebies….just imagine the amounts you could scoop with all of those!

Who knows, you could be a single spin away from claiming that MegaJackpots prize, so what are you waiting for? Give Siberian Storm MegaJackpots a try today.
