The Expendables Megaways slot review (Stakelogic)

The Expendables Megaways is based on the action film with the same name, which featured just about every Hollywood action hero

The Expendables movies (part 1, 2, and 3) starred Sylvester Stallone, Dolf Lundgren, Terry Crews and the tough guy who made action movies his trademark: Jason Statham.

And, of course, that one guy that nobody knows. Neither do we.

In any case, Stakelogic is developing a good taste for the Megaways genre. After Black Gold Megaways, Mystical Santa Megaways and Super Wild Megaways, this is already the fourth Megaways slot of their hand.

The Megaways mechanism is well known now, but The Expendables Megaways still has some nice aces in the hole.

For one, you place a kind of bonus bet, where you activate bonus features. Besides, low symbols are excluded from the reels during the free spins, giving you better odds of big wins.

The RTP, Variance (volatility) & Maximum win of The Expendables Megaways

The payout percentage is 96.02%, which is just above the critical 96% barrier. Stakelogic is not known for releasing slots with a high return to player. Fortunately, their Megaways slots score better than their “normal” slots.

According to Stakelogic, the maximum win is close to $€ 540 thousand. As the maximum bet is $€ 40 (with the Super Stake activated), we are talking about a maximum win of around 13,500x the total bet.

Expendable Megaways is a high variance slot if we believe Stakelogic. We tend to qualify this as a medium to high variance slot, as Stakelogic slots usually have a low to medium volatility.

The Expendables Megaways gameplay and features

The Expendables Megaways has the following characteristics:

• Up to 117,649 (Mega)ways to win
• A betting range from $€ 0.20 up to $€ 20 per spin
• Win up to 20,000 x the stake
• Cascading symbols: winning symbols disappear and make way for new symbols.
• High paying symbols (the action heroes) yield between 1 x and 12.5 x your bet.
• The low symbols (card symbols) are worth between 0.6 x and 0.9 x the bet with a 6-of-a-kind
• Super Stake option for extra bonus features

Bullet Bonus

By collecting scattered bullets, you fill the gun ammunition magazine.

With a full magazine (5 bullets), the collected bullets will be shot at the reels as wilds.

This is not only cool, but it can also be very lucrative at that, especially when there are a lot of Megaways active.

Super Stake

You can choose to activate the Super Stake option. This will cost you twice the bet; in return, you get two extra features.

With the Super Stake option active, you can win the next boosters any time:

• Lots of extra wild symbols on the reels.
• The low symbols are removed for the next spin.

Gamble Feature

As with many Stakelogic slots, you can wager the gamble feature after a payout.

Predict the right colour (red or black) of the blind card to double your winnings or choose the right card suit (hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs) to quadruple your winnings.

Free spins bonus

If you manage to spin a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 7 scatters, you activate the free spins bonus.

Depending on how many scatters you have spun, you will be awarded between 8 and 24 free spins.

During the free spins, the usual progressive multiplier is active, which increases by +1 with each winning combination.

Besides, Stakelogic has come up with something completely new. If you spin a winning combination with a low symbol, it is removed for that spin’s duration.

The more low symbols you manage to remove, the higher the odds of a mega payout dropping in your lap, all the more so because the multiplier keeps on increasing.

Our verdict on the Expendables Megaways slot

Stakelogic has again released a great Megaways slot with several unique features.

The Super Stake option, the Bullet Bonus, the Low Symbol Removal: these are all strong additions to the already powerful Megaways mechanism.

We’ve never been the biggest fans of Stakelogic slots, but their Megaways slots are winning us over slowly but surely.
