the wish master megaways slot theme, stakes, pays & symbols

When a game such as The Wishmaster Megaways lands in my inbox, it serves as an instant reminder of just how much worse some modern online slots are in comparison to their older counterparts. Take Lamp of Infinity, from Pragmatic Play, for example, a genie-themed online slot that is nothing short of shocking compared to the original 2014 version of The Wish Master. In fact, try as I might, I couldn’t find a single recent example of a genie-themed game released in the past year or two that could in any way rival NetEnt’s effort from a decade ago! Fortunately, Red Tiger seems to have come along to save the day with this release – The Wish Master Megaways looks to be a worthy update to a classic slot, as far as I can see, in terms of features and presentation.

Trade-offs are an inevitable fact of life with Megaways slots, of course – don’t expect anything remotely similar to the original paytable in this updated version of the game. I’m not even going to try and describe what the high-paying symbols featured in this game are supposed to represent, so I’ll simply say the red symbol is worth 2x the bet for a full payway of six of a kind, followed by the orange at 1.8x, the green at 1.5x, and the blue at 1.2x. As for the low-paying royals, these will get you 0.4x your total stake for six tens, with small bumps along the way until you reach the 1x payout for a complete pay way of six aces. 

Its never a great idea to play a super high-volatility slot such as this at big bets, and that is something which I feel Red Tiger is probably keenly aware of as the minimum/maximum permitted wagers allowed here are just €0.10 and €4.00 per round respectively. This makes a refreshing change in my view, as so many other developers are more than happy to permit bets of up to €100.00 per spin on their Megaways slots; sure, it’s always the player's responsibility to bet sensibly when playing online slots, but I think the decision to limit the maximum wager to such a sensible level in a game such as this is a commendable one on the part of Red Tiger.

base game & modifiers

Unlike some Megaways slots, The Wish Master does not use a separate horizontal reel in addition to its six primary ones. Instead, all six main reels can divide into between two and seven rows during each game round, resulting in a minimum/maximum pay way count of 64 and 117,649, respectively. In addition, all symbols require at least three matches starting from the leftmost reel to award a prize.

wish master features

the wish master megaways slot bonus features

The Wish Master Megaways does not include a full-on bonus round as such. However, the five Wish Master features make for a more than generous alternative to a typical free spin based bonus round!

One more thing that hasn’t yet been mentioned – if a scatter symbol happens to land whilst one or more wish master features are active in play, their activity counter will be reset back to the initial five in addition to adding one more wish to your current set!

For example, say you have two wild reels in play already on reels two and three that have already been active for four spins. If you now hit a further scatter symbol and the genie grants you a 3x multiplier, your next five spins will be played with both wild reels remaining in effect and the new 3x multiplier modifier on top.
