Wild Turkey Megaways review
Wild Turkey Megaways is the 2023 follow-up to NetEnt's 2013 Wild Turkey, now a six-reel Megaways game with up to 117,649 ways to win. The setting is an Aztec world where tribal turkeys dance among Wilds etched with ancient wisdom. Two kinds of Wild do most of the work, one that starts the free spins and one that turns high-paying symbols wild. The volatility is Very high and the top prize is 7,239x.
Ways, reels and the two Wilds
The game uses a 6x7 layout with up to 117,649 ways, and a win forms along a way instead of a fixed line. Both Wild types appear only on reels 2 to 5, which keeps the outer reels as plain paying positions.
The Scatter Wild substitutes for all symbols and helps build the longest possible winning combination on a way. The Wild Turkey symbol arrives through a separate feature and substitutes for other paying symbols, but not for the Scatter Wild.
Features that matter
The free spins and the random turkey feature are separate. The second never feeds the first, according to the studio's rules.
Wild Turkey feature
This feature can activate at random on reels 2 to 5 in both the main game and the free spins. When it fires, high-win symbols transform into Wild Turkeys, which then form the longest winning combination on a single way. It does not count towards triggering or extending the free spins.
Free spins
Three Scatter Wilds on reels 2 to 5 trigger 10 free spins. During the round, a full stack of Wild symbols on any reel awards 2 additional spins. The studio also states that a reel fully covered with Scatter Wilds awards 2 extra spins, and its text promises a meeting with the turkey tribe leader in the bonus.
RTP, hit rate and money at stake
Our catalogue shows one RTP, 96.05%, for a house edge of 3.95% and an average cost of $39.50 per $1,000 wagered. Hit frequency is 21.99%, which is a little over one spin in five. Volatility is Very high.
In 100-spin sessions the average cost is $0.79 at a $0.20 bet, $3.95 at $1 and $19.75 at $5, a $500 stake. The 7,239x max win translates to $1,447.80 at $0.20, $7,239 at $1 and $36,195 at $5.
Against the original and other Megaways
The earlier Wild Turkey from 2013 is rated High with a 96.6% RTP and a 2,800x max win. The Megaways version trades a slightly lower return for a much higher ceiling and a Very high label.
Other Very high NetEnt Megaways titles in the catalogue include Twin Spin Megaways (96.04%, 4,900x, 2020) and Dazzle Me Megaways (96.1%, 13,400x, 2021). Space Wars Megaways XXXtreme lists 96.16% and 14,400x, Mummy Megaways 96.2% and 16,321x, Jelly Belly Megaways 96.08% and 20,000x, and The Wish Master Megaways 96.07% and 27,018x. Against that group, a 7,239x ceiling sits second from the bottom, above only Twin Spin Megaways, so the top prize here is modest for a Very high game.
Pros
- Up to 117,649 ways on a 6x7 layout
- Wild Turkey feature turns high-win symbols into Wilds in both the main game and free spins
- Max win of 7,239x with a 21.99% hit frequency
- Free official demo available
Cons
- Very high volatility, so sessions can swing far from the $3.95 per $100 average
- Wild Turkey feature does not help trigger or extend the free spins
- Max win trails all but one of the Very high Megaways titles listed alongside it
Verdict
Wild Turkey Megaways is a clearly structured Megaways game: Wilds only on reels 2 to 5, a random feature that converts high-win symbols and 10 free spins from three Scatter Wilds. Its 96.05% RTP is close to the other NetEnt Megaways entries, and the Very high volatility is paired with a 7,239x ceiling. Expect a house edge of 3.95%, and use the demo to judge the pace before committing a budget.
