Siberian Storm Mega Jackpots Slot Review & Game Bonus

Siberian Storm Mega Jackpots slot machine from IGT is the fantastic progressive jackpot version of the land-based classic.  The game is the stuff of legends, and has 5-reels, 25 paylines and a non-progressive jackpot of 720x line bet, although the progressive jackpot can get into the millions. Aside from the jackpot the game has a free spins bonus round giving players a very chunky 96 free spins at most.  So, that’s it in brief, a truly great slot, but for all the details check out the full Siberian Storm Mega Jackpots slot review below.

Siberian Storm Mega Jackpots Slot Review & Game Bonus

Undoubtedly one of the most popular land-based slot machines of all time, Siberian Storm was given an online makeover several years ago and proved a huge hit long before the Mega Jackpots was added.

Now back, bigger and better than ever before, the Siberian Storm Mega Jackpots slot machine features IGT slots’ patented Multiway Xtra wagering system, meaning a total of 720 ways to win are available. For those not familiar with this gameplay engine, this means that prizes are awarded for landing three or more matching symbols in any position on consecutive reels, starting from the leftmost reel – making it easy to hit huge combos.

Playable from as little as £0.50 per spin across all desktop, mobile and tablet devices, the game features two majestic looking Siberian tigers as it’s medium value icons, with a range of sparkling jewels filling in the lower reaches of the payout table. In addition, the game includes stacked substitute wilds, a free spins scatter symbol and – of course – the coveted Mega Jackpots progressive prize icon.

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright

While, as mentioned above, the game has built up a cult following over the years, it has to be said that the free spins feature is slightly lacking when compared to other IGT titles. First of all, triggering it can be difficult – with players needing to land a scatter symbol on each of the game’s five reels – and, even then, players will only receive an initial award of eight free spins to help them claw their way to profit.

Fortunately, during the free spins feature, a special tiger’s eye symbol will be added to the reels and landing just one of these will award an extra eight bonus games – with a maximum of 96 up for grabs if you’re really lucky. While this does significantly improve the earning potential of the feature, the fact remains that it doesn’t come around often enough for it to be considered a major selling point.

That honour is instead reserved for the Mega Jackpot, which is triggered in one of two ways. Either players can line up five Mega Jackpot icons across the game’s central row or they can be randomly awarded the top prize in a Second Chance bonus. Either way, a fearsome prize payout will be awarded.

Earning Its Stripes?

Despite its considerable popularity, the Siberian Storm Mega Jackpots slot isn’t one of the best slots from IGT; but people, it seems, are prepared to forgive a lot of misgivings when there’s a big prize up for grabs.
