I know how most of those work as I've been spinning for many years. The guide will certainly help out newbies though, as many just hit the spin button on slots and dont really understand what's going on. They just hope to see their balance go up instead of down.

Have to admit I'd never really checked out BGaming and their Trueways mechanic, so that was something I did over the weekend. It's a bit of a Megaways cop,y but I liked it.

Yeah there are lots of Megaways copycats out there. I prefer scatter pays tbh, been playing that new one, Sweet Rush Bonanza from Pragmatic. Kind of a mix between Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush. Landed a 310x win last night, which was nice.

Gave that Elvis Trueways one a shot, actually a good slot. Turned a small profit of about 50 quid as well, so its staying on my playlist for the time being.

BGaming are actually a pretty solid studio, one of the first to make the move into the crypto side of things when it all blew up. I like that they mix it up quite a lot with their slots, using different mechanics and features.

That;s my favorite! The original Elvis one is great as well.

As for the guide, great work. I really like cluster pays slots, always have a lot of fun watching more wins toppling in.

Should try out Reactoonz and Jammin' Jars then, always great fun.

Anyone tried the Abyssways slots from Play'n Go? Think they've released three or four now. Similar mechanic to Megaways but a bit more innovative.

Never tried that one, have played the Elvis Vegas slot though. Good slot actually, though not as volatile as I usually prefer.

Was actually this site that introduced them to me. Pretty sure I read news on the mechanics being launched. It does have Megaways elements but its a lot more than that in the way that it works.

Thank you Simon, I will. Jammin' jars rings a bell, pretty sure Ive seen that in lobbies but never actually played it.
