iSoftBet goes Dickensian with the new Scrooge Megaways video slot

In an official press release issued in London, the innovator company said the six-row game is the latest addition to the Twisted Tale family, "inspired by iconic fictional stories," and includes the popular Megaways mechanism as well as the potentially lucrative Hold and Win feature.

Popular premise:

According to casinoudenrofus.info, iSoftBet said its mobile game Scrooge Megaways focuses on the character Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' famous 1843 tale A Christmas Carol, and invites fans to follow the cartoon depiction of the avaricious protagonist as he roams a "gloomy London street." The company said players will subsequently have to collect "combinations of symbols" that include hats, turkeys, chains and Scrooge himself as snow falls all around, in hopes of taking home "riches" that could be 3,000 times their initial bet.

Tempting bonuses:

Other video slot games in the Twisted Tale series include award-winning Brides of Dracula and Moriarty Megaways. iSoftBet said Scrooge Megaways debuted just weeks after the five-reel Hot Spin Hot Link game. The company said its latest Christmas-themed game offers up to 117,649 ways to win, as well as a pair of random game modifiers in the form of the Hauntings of Christmas feature, which adds a scatter, and the Max Megaways attraction, which uses the maximum number of paylines for "huge win potential."

Revelation about re-spins:

iSoftBet noted that players can trigger a re-spins bonus in the medium-latency Scrooge Megaways if at least five scatter symbols roll on a single reel. In addition, the company said each of these attempts will come with a fixed multiplier value, though players can get even more spins later by collecting additional scatters.

Contributing features:

Mark Claxton of iSoftBet used a press release to explain that participants who are lucky enough to fill all the spots during the re-spins feature in the Scrooge Megaways will be rewarded with a special multiplier displayed at the top of the reels. He claims that this attraction is randomly joined by a trio of scatter jackpots that can reach up to 50 times their value to offer "even more winning potential, especially when appearing on a full reel."
