Introduction
Inspired’s Reel King Megaways is jam packed with features and the action takes place on 6 reels, with 2 - 7 rows and a horizontal top reel. To score wins, players must land matching symbols on adjacent reels starting at reel 1, on the left. There are 11 symbols on the reels, consisting of 6 card symbols, 4 picture symbols and a wild symbol, which substitutes for all symbols on the reels and appears on the extra reel in the base game and the Free Spins.
This game features the popular megaways mechanic which keeps the game lively and it also has cascading reels, meaning players have extra opportunities for wins on each spin as winning combinations disappear to make room for new symbols to fall into place.
If you want to try the Reel King Megaways, this pokie is available right here to play in demo mode, along with other Inspired Gaming pokies. Demo play is completely free of charge and it’s a great way of getting to know a new game without risking any real money.
Theme, Graphics & Soundtrack
Reel King Megaways has a royal theme combined with a traditional pokie theme so this really is a game for all pokie fans! The reels feature traditional symbols including card symbols, fruits such as cherries, plum and watermelons plus a big sack of coins. Symbols are brightly coloured and each is set on a white background so the images look really striking. Although the graphics are fairly simple, the shine on the fruits and the little touches such as the crowns on the card symbols really enhance the look of the game. The soundtrack consists of some music to add atmosphere and some fun sound effects of reels spinning, stopping and some ‘dings’ which will make players feel like they are really playing a pokie in a land-based casino!

Reel King Megaways Bonus Features & Free Spins
The bonus features can seem a little complicated, so we’ve outlined how the feature is triggered and how it works, below:
Lit reels - “Ding”
On every spin up to 6 reels will be lit and these are accompanied by a ‘ding’. For every reel cascade that follows, another reel is lit. If all 6 reels become lit, it triggers the Reel King feature. Successive cascade wins allow progression through to the Super King or Mega King feature.
Reel King Feature
The feature has 3 levels, Reel King, Super King and Mega King which give between 1 and 6 Reel Kings on the reels and each level has a different Free Spins trail attached. The King spins special 1 payline mini-reels and prizes are awarded for winning combinations.
Free Spins
Once a Free Spins trail position is achieved, the Free Spins bonus feature is triggered. which comes with a multiplier which is increased with each cascade win, by 1x. Lit reels are still in place and hold in place, and when all 6 reels are lit, extra free spins are added or the multiplier is increased.
Gamble feature
Players can gamble any win of Free Spins from the Reel King feature for more Free Spins by spinning the bonus wheel.
Overall Review
Players who enjoy the original Reel King pokie are certainly going to want to give this a try, as Inspired has done a great job here. The megaways mechanic is always popular and this certainly keeps the game engaging, but it’s the bonus features which make it especially exciting. As well as some nice prizes on offer, the process of the lit reels, the mini reels and the Free Spins all keep the game really entertaining.
