Kulta Jaska Megaways slot review (Red Tiger Gaming)

Kulta Jaska Megaways: Already the 6th  Red Tiger Gaming Megaways slot

Red Tiger Gaming was a perfect way for Netent (who has taken over Red Tiger Gaming) to release the Megaways slots. Netent liked it, as Netent has also acquired a Megaways license from Big Time Gaming.

Can you imagine a world without Megaways slots? By now, more than one hundred are released, and many are incredibly popular.

Kulta Jaska is already the 6th Megaways slot of Red Tiger Gaming, and my expectations were not just high, but very high. Gonzo’s Quest Megaways is excellent and deservedly on my top 10 Megaways slots list.

Anyway, let’s get back to Kulta Jaska Megaways. You go camping in Scandinavia (Finland to be precise), and you bring with you some gear and other nice stuff. You hope to meet the lovely Emma and the friendly forest ranger. They help you to grab wins.

And, yes, there is something at stake with this slot!

Kulta Jaska Megaways: the maximum win is over 10.000x the bet

10,482x, to be precise. Well, camping seems a peaceful pastime, but it can still be very moving and noisy! If you thought of having a relaxing camping weekend, you might think otherwise, after such a mind-blowing win!

Animations are outstanding, but the gameplay is a bit repetitive, and the RTP is too low.

Kulta Jaska Megaways slot – Gameplay and Features

It is a Megaways slot with 6 reels with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 7 symbols. It results in a minimum of 324 and a maximum of 117,649 Megaways.

As with many Megaways slots, you have the Avalanche (Cascading or Tumbling) mechanic. It gets you a free respin after every win, where the winning symbols disappear and make way for new ones.

The high-paying symbols are Emma and a gold basket, and the medium-paying symbols are a red flower, a kettle and an oil lamp. We have low-paying symbols, a reindeer, a bird, a pan, an orange flower and an axe.

The wild symbols are the forest ranger (who look like garden gnomes), and these are stacked. These Wilds can have a multiplier up to x7.

You can spin up to three Wilds. If all three have an x7 multiplier, your wins will be multiplied by as much as 343x!

Other than that, the main game is a bit repetitive and dull. After all, you’re camping, where after all, you look for peace and quietness.

How do you get access to the free spins?

You need at least 3 scatters (dynamite rods) to activate the free spins. Afterwards, you’ll see a wheel which you can whirl. You find out how many free spins you get (a minimum 7 and a maximum 20) and your starting total multiplier (x1 to maximum x10).

Each scatter you spin during the free spins yields an additional free spin.

The free spins – increasing total multiplier

As with many other Megaways slots, you’ll have a total multiplier that increases by +1 after every win.

It helps when you get assigned many free spins combined with a high start multiplier at the wheel.

If you get many more wins after that and end up with a big combo, it can become lucrative!

And don’t forget that you can still benefit from the stacked Wild symbols (with multipliers), so it’s exhilarating!

Payout percentage (RTP)

The RTP is 95.75%, and that is a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, this is Red Tiger Gaming’s policy.

Often, they deliver fantastic slots, but since mid-2019, I have never spotted a slot with an RTP of 96% or more.

The variance (volatility) of Kulta Jaska Megaways is high.

Red Tiger Gaming gives a score of 5 out of 5 for the variance. In short, the variance is high. I expect that most top wins to exceed the 1,000x.

The max win of 10,424x is based on 1 billion simulations.

Pros en Cons Advantages: √  Nice and easy to understand and play √  Animations are top-notch! Yes, very pleasing on the eye √  Enormous win potential Disadvantages: χ  Unfortunately, the RTP is too low χ  The main game is repetitive χ  No Bonus Buy feature, and that’s something I miss with this slot So, who’ll like the slot? And who won’t? More and more often, I notice that if a high variance slot doesn’t have a Bonus Buy feature, that too much time is spent on the main game. And that’s where I have doubts. Yes, it makes sense that with a volatile slot, it’s not too straightforward to access the free spins often, but at the same time, you don’t feel like wrestling yourself through a boring main game, with hundreds and hundreds of spins to finally get there. So if you are impatient, you better find yourself a slot with a more exciting main game or a Bonus Buy feature slot.
