How does spending your day at the farm sound? Spending your time growing some corn and feeding pigs and cows. Is this something that you desire? If you do, the great news is that you can do all this, albeit virtually, when playing the Pragmatic Play-powered Barnyard Megahays Megaways slot machine.

Upon launching the Barnyard Megahays Megaways slot, a massive 6 x 7 reel grid is set against a farmhouse backdrop.

Two spin buttons that help activate the gaming session appear beneath the playing grid. However, it’s essential to impart yourself with knowledge on which one of the two spin buttons to use. For this and more, check out the rundown below.

• Bet Options: Pick your preferred bet option to use from a range starting from 0.20 coins to 240.00 coins per spin.

• Spin Options: To keep engaged in the gaming session throughout, click the Spin button inscribed HOLD FOR TURBO SPIN. Alternatively, if you prefer spinning the reels automatically, taking a back seat, and watching as the reels spin on their own, enable the Auto Play feature, where you can choose between 10 to 1000 auto spins.

Barnyard Megahays Megaways slot uses the Megaways mechanic. Owing to this mechanic, several ways to win appear on each spin. The higher the number of symbols populating the reels, the higher the number of active megaways. The maximum number of megaways stands at 117,649 megaways.

The symbols that fetch the highest payouts to the lowest in descending order include:

• Male farmer. 
• Female farmer. 
• A dog. 
• A cow. 
• A pig. 
• Royal poker symbols.

• Wild: The farmhouse symbol inscribed WILD represents the substituting icon. It can substitute for all icons except the collect and special symbols.

• Tumble Feature: All symbols except the collect and special when involved in winning combinations explode and disappear from their positions once pays are awarded. This paves the way for new symbols to appear, necessitating the evaluation of new win lines. 

• Free Spins Feature: Two or three special symbols that award free spin values when collected will award 10 or 20 free spins respectively. Collect symbols don’t land during this round. However, special symbols can randomly appear with 3 or 10 free spin values, enabling players to increment their free spin count.

• Special Symbols: The slot comes with a special golden string symbol. Whenever this symbol lands, it takes a random feature which includes:
  • Money Value: A random value of 1x to 100x total bet is collected immediately when there is a collect symbol on the reels. 
  • Wild: Transforms into a wild which substitutes for all symbols except other special symbols. 
  • Wild Multiplier: Transforms into a wild multiplier whose values range from 2x to 5x and substitutes for all symbols except other special symbols. Multiple wilds that feature in the same win line will see their values summed before being applied to the payout. 
  • Respin: The respin symbol awards one respin at the end of a tumble sequence. 
  • Max Win: Awards the maximum possible win amount of 10,000x the bet. 
  • Free Spins: Awards the free spins feature.

• Buy Free Spins: For a 100x current total bet, players may gain immediate access to the free spins round.

What I found to be the most impressive thing about the Barnyard Megahays Megaways slot is the refreshing theme, which captivates and engages players deeply into the gaming session. Moreover, the math model is impressive, epitomized by a top RTP of 96.50% and high volatility.
