What The Fox Megaways

What the Fox Megaways: Slot Overview

If you can’t get enough materialistic excess in your life, Red Tiger has cloned the extravagant Piggy Riches Megaways to produce a follow-up of sorts titled What the Fox Megaways. Sadly, fans of Ylvis and their baffling attempts to translate what a fox says into words are conspicuously absent. Instead, What the Fox Megaways is all about bright neon downtown lights, blacked-out limos, plus wads of cash – basically living it up on a huge night out, but with foxes.

As mentioned, there are a lot of bright flashing lights, which almost need a warning label for those affected by such things. The game doesn’t mention the word Vegas anywhere either, but picture Fremont Street and you’ve pretty much nailed its environs. If trying your luck in Sin City appeals, then What the Fox Megaways will easily win you over. It’s got a great flow that’s easy to get lost in, coupled with plenty of animated lights and slick cascades. If Piggy Riches focused on old money, this one is what the nouveau riche do to flaunt their wealth so others can see just how cashed up they are.

All things foxy takes place on a 6-reel Megaways powered grid, where 2 to 7 symbols appear on each reel. Pay-ways vary randomly from spin to spin, from a low of 64 to a high of 117,649 at the most. Any device is fine for hosting the action, and stakes from 10 p/c to $/€10 per spin may be set. This being a straight-up clone, its stats match those found in Piggy Riches Megaways down to the second decimal point. Default RTP, for example, weighs in at 95.71%, while volatility is high, rated 5 out of 5 by Red Tiger. The hit rate is also rated 5 out of 5; whatever that means is not exactly clear.

Red Tiger continues the theme of having a good time via the 10 regular pay symbols as well. Mainly the high-pays, of course, where we find dice, whisky and cigars, rolls of cash, Chevy’s, and gold token F symbols. Landing a 6 of a kind win from this grouping will net you a payment of 1.2 to 20 times the stake. The remaining symbols are 10 to A neon-ish card icons. At least 3 adjacent symbols of a kind from the first reel are required to form a winning combination, except the ‘F’, it only needs 2. Winning combinations are removed via a cascade mechanic that then lets new symbols onto the board for the chance at consecutive winners.

What the Fox Megaways: Slot Features

Sticking to the Piggy Riches Megaways formula, What the Fox Megaways comes with two extra features. One a wild feature available in all phases of the game, the other a round of free spins.

Wily Wilds show up in the base or bonus game and are where the playboy fox, Mr. Foxter, appears. These are full reel wilds that carry a multiplier of up to x7 each. Up to 3 Wily Wilds may land on a spin, and their multipliers are multiplied together when more than 1 is in view. At most, they can bring a x343 multiplier into play. Wily Wilds substitute for any paying symbol.

Gold bar scatters are your ticket to the Foxy Spins bonus round. Having 3 or more on the reels triggers a spin of a bonus wheel which awards up to 20 free spins with a starting multiplier of up to x10. During free spins, the key benefit is a win multiplier which increments by +1 after each winning cascade. A little unusually, the multiplier has a limit and maxes out at x20, though it does not reset between free spins. The bonus round may be extended, as each scatter on the reels adds +1 more free spin to the remaining amount.

What the Fox Megaways: Slot Verdict

What the Fox Megaways is one of those games so unashamedly a clone it ceases to really matter. Sure it offers nothing new from a technical standpoint, yet when the experience is so downright fun, who cares? In this way, the game shares the spirit as well as the stats of Piggy Riches Megaways, where it’s okay to celebrate money and have a bit of fun with it. The best things in life might be free, but sometimes indulging in the materialistic side of life appeals as well. In this regard, What the Fox Megaways steps up to offer its wares.

If you liked the predecessor, you’re almost sure to like this one as well. The base game paces along nicely thanks to the upbeat music, flashy lighting, and the way the cascade feature executes. Just like Vegas itself, What the Fox Megaways sucks you into its world of excess and doesn’t let go. Regarding the gameplay, Wily Wilds can be highly effective when they drop from nowhere to boost a bunch of line wins. Since their values multiply each other, then having two or three can be an absolute game-changer. Free spins are free spins, there’s nothing overly new about a progressive win multiplier, though higher starting values always go down well. Potential isn’t astonishing, given the mammon-centric theme, but not even Mr. Foxter would complain about a 10,474 x the bet hit.

Here’s a little test. Picture yourself with a cocktail in hand hanging out of the sunroof of a stretched limo as it cruises down The Strip, the wind in your hair, as passers-by point and ask each other ‘Who is that guy?’ (or gal). If that scenario sounds too over the top, then What the Fox Megaways might not be the game for you. On the other hand, if it sounds like a blast, then What the Fox Megaways could be the excuse you’re after to let your hair down to go a bit wild and guilt-free crazy.
