Dazzle Me Megaways Slot Review

Welcome to the sparkling universe of Dazzle Me Megaways

From the moment I fired up Dazzle Me Megaways, I could see it had taken the heart of the original Dazzle Me and wired it into a Megaways machine. NetEnt use Big Time Gaming’s system to produce up to 99,225 ways to win on a grid where the reel heights keep changing. It feels like a classic gem slot that has been turned up several notches without losing its simple core.

Released in May 2021, Dazzle Me Megaways runs on a medium volatility model that suits me when I want some movement without a complete battering. Stakes start at 0.10 per spin and go up to 50, so it covers low stakes sessions and more serious testing. With Megaways, cascading reels and wild features in play, the slot can reach wins around 20,000 times the bet when everything lines up.

The look and feel of Dazzle Me Megaways

The look and feel of Dazzle Me Megaways lean heavily on gems, lights and that slightly retro fruit machine touch. The reels sit in front of a starry backdrop filled with shining beams, while the soundtrack adds a light, upbeat casino vibe. Between diamonds, rubies and classic symbols like bells and sevens, I get the sense of standing inside a bright jewellery counter rather than a dark arcade cabinet.

How to play Dazzle Me Megaways

Dazzle Me Megaways is straightforward once I have spent a few spins with it. I set my stake with the bet controls, then hit the main spin button under the reels. If I feel like letting it run, the autoplay menu lets me choose up to 1,000 automatic spins and then sit back while the game cycles. With Megaways active, I do not have to touch payline settings at all.

Wins land whenever matching symbols fall on adjacent reels from the first reel onwards, and the number of ways can climb right up to 99,225 on a good spin. Any winning combination triggers the avalanche or cascading reels feature, which removes the successful symbols and lets new ones drop into place. Chain reactions happen quite often for me, and those extra avalanches are where base game hits can stack up.

Symbols and paytable in Dazzle Me Megaways

The symbols in Dazzle Me Megaways mix classic fruit machine icons with coloured gems. At the top end sits the red 7, followed by the Yellow Bell, Red Heart and Green Clover. Below those are several jewel style tiles in gold, purple, crystal blue, green, sea blue and light purple tones. Everything ties back into that glossy, jewel shop theme, and it gives wins a nice visual pop when lines connect.

On the paytable, the red 7 pays three times the stake for six of a kind, making it the most valuable regular symbol. The Yellow Bell, Red Heart and Green Clover follow on 1.2x, 1.1x and 1x for a six-line hit. The lower gem symbols sit between 0.5x and 0.9x for six, which keeps smaller cascades alive without clogging the reels with completely empty hits.

The wild in Dazzle Me Megaways is a shining white diamond, and it can drop on several reels to substitute for regular symbols and complete combinations. Free spins symbols act as scatters, so landing four or more anywhere in view will bring in the bonus round rather than a standard payout. When the screen fills with mixed gems, bells, hearts and clovers, those diamonds can turn near misses into tidy avalanches.

Bonus features and free spins in Dazzle Me Megaways

Dazzle Me Megaways stacks several special features on top of the Megaways engine, and the avalanche mechanic is the one I notice most. Every win clears the paying symbols off the grid, then drops new ones into the gaps, sometimes repeating several times on a single paid spin. The random Dazzling Wild Reels feature can hit in the base game too, turning selected reels fully wild and making those avalanches far more dangerous.

Free spins come from landing at least four free spins symbols anywhere in view, which awards eight spins to start with. Each extra scatter beyond the fourth adds four more, so six scatters mean sixteen spins. During the bonus I am guaranteed at least one fully wild reel on every spin, and that reel stays wild through the avalanches. With Megaways still running, the combination can create long chains and big totals.

RTP and volatility in Dazzle Me Megaways

In Dazzle Me Megaways, the numbers sit in that mid range I tend to favour for longer sessions. The slot uses a medium volatility model, so I get a mix of dry runs and steady hits, with the bigger bursts tied to avalanches and wild reels. RTP is variable, depending on where I play, and can run from about 91.06% up to around 96.1%, so checking the paytable panel first makes sense.

Overall verdict on Dazzle Me Megaways

After a good stretch of spinning, Dazzle Me Megaways feels like a successful upgrade of the original gem slot rather than a complete redesign. The visuals stick to that bright, glossy look, the controls stay simple, and the action is clear even when the Megaways layout throws out big combinations. What changes the rhythm is the addition of avalanches and wild reels, which give base game spins far more punch.

For me, Dazzle Me Megaways works best as a medium volatility Megaways slot when I want colour and action without intense swings. The max win potential around 20,000x the stake is there, but most of my sessions revolve around steady chains of avalanches and the odd explosive free spin round. I am happy to load it up for relaxed grinding, especially when I fancy that glossy gem shop atmosphere.
