Game Overview

When you next have a bit of spare time on your hands, check through our Pragmatic Play demo library, and you’ll find the provider has taken you on pretty much every adventure possible through multiple slot game genres, some even twice. On this occasion, the theme wheel must have landed on farmyard as we’re presented with the fun looking Barnyard Megahays Megaways slot, a 6-reel game with up to 117,649 ways to win, an RTP of 96.50%, and a maximum win of 10,000x the bet.

In the usual Pragmatic style, players have several features to explore, and these begin with the well-known cascading reels engine, with winning symbols being removed from the playfield and replaced with new ones, providing extra chances to win. The standout aspect of the slot, though, is the special symbols, which are activated when they land simultaneously with a collect, where wilds, multiplying wilds, and even a max win symbol can be unlocked. There’s a free spins bonus that can be activated, too, and during this round, any special symbols that land will immediately come into play without the need for the collect symbol.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a farmyard adventure, so dig out your straw hat and pitchfork and head over to our Barnyard Megahays Megaways demo slot; it’s free to play below.

All kinds of weird and wonderful creatures have been the focal point of online slots in the past, from prehistoric animals in Primal Megaways to the common and cute bunny in the Rabbit Royale slot. So, when a farmyard theme comes along, you do at least kind of know what animations and characters you’re going to come across in the gameplay. Another huge potential plus point for the Pragmatic Play slot Barnyard Megahays is that it’s operating on the Megaways engine, and as our onsite stats reveal, animals and Megaways tend to go with players often frequenting our Gorilla Gold Megaways demo slot created by Blueprint Gaming. Can Barnyard Megahays Megaways give it a run for its money? Let’s dig into the finer details and feature set of it to find out.

Our first stop is the pays section, and taking all the glory as the highest value symbol in the game is the Farmer, with returns of 20x the bet for a winning connection of six. The Female Farmhand comes next worth 7.5x, with the Dog following at 4x, and the Cow and Pig completing the premium pays with equal returns of 2x the bet for a full line of six. As is pretty much always the case, the royals represent the low pays and you’ll find the Ace, King, and Queen paying 1x bet, with the Jack and Ten sharing payouts of 0.5x. We also have the inclusion of the Wild symbol, which appears on all reels substituting for regular in-game symbols.

Whether you’re spinning on our Barnyard Megahays Megaways free play slot, or playing for real money, Pragmatic has included a huge betting spread for you to choose from. Stakes start from a minimum of €0.20 a spin, with the maximum price per play reaching a whopping €240 a press.

Barnyard Megahays Megaways Slot Base Game & Modifiers

Played across a 6×7 reel matrix, Barnyard Megahays Megaways operates on the Megaways pay mechanic, with each reel being dynamic and able to hold between 2 – 7 symbols on each spin. This allows the game to generate up to 117,649 ways to win every time the spin button is pressed. Wins will be awarded when three matching symbols land on adjacent reels beginning from the leftmost reel first. Every winning combo will initiate the cascading reels, which removes winning symbols from the reels and replaces them with new ones that fall in from above.

Special Symbols

The collect symbol, which is a tornado, can land randomly on any spin in the base. If it lands simultaneously with a special hay symbol, it will collect it and award its prize, which will be one of the following.

  • Money Value: A random multiplier from 1x to 100x will be awarded.
  • Wild: If collected, at the end of all reel tumbles, it will transform into a wild.
  • Wild Multiplier: Will turn into a wild multiplier of 2x, 3x, or 5x if collected at the end of all reel tumbles.
  • Respin: At the end of any reel cascades, one respin of all the symbols on the reels will be awarded.
  • Max Win: The jackpot of 10,000x the bet will be awarded if it is collected.
  • Free Spins: Will award the free spin feature at the end of all cascades if it is collected.

Barnyard Megahays Megaways Bonus Features

Landing a collect symbol and 1 or 2 special free spin feature symbols will trigger the bonus round and award 10 or 20 free spins, respectively.

Free Spins Feature

During the free spins feature, the collect symbol is removed from the reels, and any special symbols that land will be awarded at the end of any reel tumbles. Additionally, two new symbols are added to the reels: the +3 and +10 free spins symbols.

Bonus Buy

Barnyard Megahays Megaways is a bonus buy slot, and players can choose if they wish to bypass the base game and trigger the free spins instantly at the cost of 100x the current bet.

Pros

  • The max win coin means the jackpot can be won without triggering the bonus feature.
  • A quality game in terms of design and presentation.

Cons

  • The free spins are ultimately the same as the base game.

Final Thoughts

You can get to sounding like a broken record when reviewing a Pragmatic Play slot, as they all tend to be of very high quality in design, and then either an absolute hit, middle of the road release or just a filler game to make up the numbers. A drum roll, please, as I smash my gavel down to reveal the verdict of Barnyard Megahays Megaways being a pretty average game but just tipping the scales to hit a reward of Good here on our Demoslot review meter. By all means, give this one plenty of hammer in our free play slot above, but I doubt it's a game that will make it onto your regular playlist.
