OneTouch Games, a globally renowned provider of slots, table and live games based in Tallinn, Estonia, has officially released Megaways™ Wild Coyote. A slot that depicts our childhood and the most innocent times of our lives, featuring Looney Tunes cartoon characters like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.
However, this slot features the Megaways game mechanic, making it the first slot from OneTouch to be enhanced with this popular game engine. But that’s not all; as it is also the newest in OneTouch’s large, premium portfolio of mobile-first casino titles.
A visual that will take you back to your childhood:
True to its title, the main theme of the game is the aforementioned Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner, famous Looney Tunes characters created in 1949. The game takes place in a cartoon landscape that looks like a desert, which is the natural habitat of our two characters, where the roadrunner is running away from a coyote that wants to eat it, but always fails to catch it.
Next to the reels are dynamites and detonators, with a rocky desert and sharp cacti.
The slot game mechanic, Megaways, gives access to a virtually unlimited number of winning combinations on each given spin, made possible by a system of cascading reels and random multipliers that change the combinations on each spin offering 117,649 winning ways on each spin when each reel has the maximum number of rows and when the volatility of the game is high.
To win, players must form a combination of 3 or more symbols on adjacent reels, beginning from the first reel on the left, on the new Megaways grid, which consists of 6 reels and 2-7 rows that change on every spin. However, there are 6 basic vertical reels and a horizontal reel called the top tracker, which sits above reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. The symbols on the top tracker belong to the same reel below.
The basic low-value symbols are royals 10, J, K, Q and A, while the high-value bonus symbols are sticks of dynamite, rocket, bat, hammer and coyote. A combination of six-of-a-kind low-value symbols is worth 0,5x to 1x a player’s bet, increasing to 1,2x to 10x for six-of-a-kind high-value symbols.
The game has high volatility, with a default RTP of 95.95% and a maximum win of 10000x a player’s bet. However, as for the RTP value, in addition to the default, the game can be played with a lower version of RTP of 93%.
Players’ paid spins can be gambled for 20 p/c up to 100 euro/$ per spin and the game is available on any device.
Slot features:
Cascading Symbols – this feature provides players with an opportunity to achieve consecutive wins on the same spin. Each time a win is achieved, the included symbols vanish, and new ones take their place. If the player has a chance to create a new win after the top-up, those winning symbols will also disappear and new ones will take their place.
This cycle will continue as long as new wins are generated.
Wild Symbol – Wild is red and yellow in this game and only lands in the top tracker throughout the base game.
The main task of Wilds is to replace each regular paying symbol.
Wild Roadrunner Symbol – A wanted poster for the roadrunner may show up in the top tracker. Each time this happens, the symbols on the reels below transform into a stacked Wild Roadrunner Symbol.
Furthermore, throughout the Free Spins, the multiplier of 6x is added to the Wild Roadrunner.
TNT Mystery Symbol – a wooden box consisting of the letters TNT, aka the mystery symbol, may land on any spin. After appearing, each Mystery Symbol on the grid turns into the same symbol.
Free Spins – a combination of 4, 5, 6 or 7 Scatters activates 10, 12, 14 or 16 free spins. The player begins the feature with a multiplier of 1x, which grows by 1 for each cascade.
Each time a symbol on the reel matches the symbol above in the top tracker, it will turn into a Wild.
Scatter can only land in the top tracker throughout the feature. A combination of 3 Scatters on a spin rewards the player with 4 additional spins.
The feature ends, when the maximum number of spins or the maximum win of 10,000x a player’s bet is reached.
Bonus Buy – in this feature, free spins can be purchased for 100x of the bet. Additionally, if the player decides to buy this feature, they will be rewarded with a spin that is guaranteed to form a combination of at least 3 Scatters, with no other winnings.
