Themed on dice and packaged in a retro wrapper, Dice Runner Megaways™ continues in the style of slot from Stakelogic that has already brought us Runner Runner Megaways™, and more recently Super Dice Megaways™. So this latest offering takes a mixture of the two, and once again gives us a casino background, whilst play is carried out on a classic old fruit machine style slot. 

Delving into the paytable we see that the lower value symbols on the game consist of numbered dice 1 through to 6, with pays reaching up to 3x when winning combos are formed with them. Higher value symbols are again dice, but this time they feature Chinese symbols that are coloured black, purple, green and red, where 6 of a kind wins will return 3x, 4x, 15x and 60x respectively. 

Standard bet sizes begin on Dice Runner Megaways™ at €0.10 a spin, and reach a maximum of €20 a play. There is however the Super Stake option that you can select. If this is activated then it will double your current stake, and give you more chances of hitting valuable connections and features.

Stakelogic have continued with the same format as the other slots in their Megaways™ retro collection, so that means Dice Runner Megaways™ features the cascading reels mechanic. It's more than likely that you will have come across this feature previously in countless Megaways games like Vikings Unleashed Megaways™ or the pioneering slot of this particular mechanic Bonanza. 

This function that is also known as rolling reels, has now become a staple part of most Megaways™ titles, and players have grown fond of the feature as it's a fantastic way to get additional wins from the initial spin that was taken. The mechanic kicks in when a winning connection has been formed on the reels, those winning symbols are then eliminated from the game reels. This in turn leaves spaces behind that are then filled with new symbols that cascade down from above, or sideways on the upper reel.

The beauty and selling point of this mechanic is that as long as you continue to create wins, it will continue to deliver you with more cascades and additional chances to win. Once all cascades have ended, all winnings from them will be added to your balance. 

The hold and respin feature was initially seen in Stakelogic's Runner Runner Megaways™ slot, and they have decided to use this mechanic again in Dice Runner Megaways™. For those not familiar with this feature, it presents players with an additional chance to either trigger the free spin bonus, or add more scatters to the feature entry that they already have.

For the feature to kick in you will need a minimum of 3 scatter symbols to have landed on the reels. When this happens the hold buttons will light up and the reels that have the scatters on them will be held in place whilst the others respin.

The respins will continue as long as a new scatter symbol has landed from the previous respin. So this can lead to a basic feature trigger, or one that contains several scatter symbols. 

You will trigger the free spins on Super Dice Megaways™ when 4 or more of the mystery symbol scatter dice land anywhere in view. A basic 4 scatter trigger will award you 8 free spins, with each additional scatter that lands thereafter adding an extra 5 spins to your starting total. 

As the free spins begin you are awarded with a win multiplier that has a starting value of x1. The primary aim of this bonus is to increase that win multiplier through hitting successful reel cascades. Each time that a cascade is completed, it will cause the win multiplier to increase by x1 in value, with there being no limit as to what this can reach.

Extra spins can be awarded during the free spins through scatter symbols again appearing on the reels. If 3 scatters hit then 5 spins will be added to your current total, with each additional scatter that lands thereafter also adding 5 extra spins.

Stakelogic certainly know how to develop a retro style machine, with this now being their 4th in the Megaways™ series to date. They have taken the two slots Runner Runner Megaways™ and Super Dice Megaways™, to make the latest offering Dice Runner Megaways™.

If you've enjoyed playing either of the two slots just mentioned, then you're certainly going to be in for a treat with this one. Other than that, it does't bring much to the table in the form of innovation within the Megaways™ niche, but it will still be well suited for some players, especially those who prefer the old school feel of a game.
