Big Time Gaming is slowly, but surely, converting their most popular slots into progressive jackpot versions, and the time has finally come for cult-classicDanger High Voltageto get the Megapays treatment. Danger High Voltage Megapays is the exact same game as the original, but you can now win 4 different progressive jackpots at random times.
This doesn’t come without a certain drawback, of course, and more specifically you’ll be dealing with an86.95 %RTP in the non-jackpot part of the game, since 9.44 percentage points goes to feed the jackpots. The good news however, is that the overall RTP of96.39 %is actually higher than the 95.67 % you get in the original. Having alternatives is never wrong, but many will probably still prefer the original.
The premium symbols, consisting of tacos, disco balls, golden bells and a decorated Mexican skull as the top-tier symbol, pay between 1.25 and 25 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins. In addition, you have2 different Wild symbolsthat both step in for pay symbols to help complete wins.
Both Wilds can appear on the 3 middle reels only, and both theWild Fire WildandWild Electricity Wildfill whole reels when they land. However, the latter comes with an x6 multiplier that boosts any win it’s part of. If more than one multiplier wild is part of the same win the values multiply, and this meansup to an x36 multiplieris possible.
You need at least3 My Desire scattersin view to trigger theBonus Round, and you get an upfront scatter payout of6, 20, 50 or 100 x your stakefor3, 4, 5 or 6 scatters, respectively. You then get tochoose between the Gates of Hell or the High Voltage feature.
TheGates of Hell Bonus Roundstarts you off with7 free spins, and a symbol is randomly chosen up front to serve as asticky wildfor the duration of the feature. It can land on reels 2 to 5 only, and you win+3 extra spinseach time you fill a reel completely with sticky wilds. Up to 19 free spins are thus possible in total.
TheHigh Voltage Bonus Roundawards15 free spinsfor starters, and the high voltage wild can appear on reels 2 to 5. A randommultiplier between x11 and x66will be assigned to any high voltage wilds that land, and you can retrigger the bonus round to get+15 free spinsby landing3+ scatterson the same spin.
TheMegapays jackpot featuretriggers at random times in the base game, and it takes you to Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. A low-value symbol is chosen as the Megapays symbol, and this symbol locks in place to award a respin.

Big Time Gaming is not afraid of taking their sweet time with the Megapays conversion process. This is in stark contrast to Relax Gaming, who’s churning out their progressive Dream Drop jackpot slots like there’s no tomorrow. Danger High Voltage Megapays is exactly the same game as the original, except for the RTP, so it all depends on what you’re after.
If you enjoy chasing massive jackpots go for this version, but the downside is an86.95 %RTP in the non-jackpot part of the game. This game is known for extreme volatility, so this is hardly the most forgiving jackpot chase around. The39,620x non-jackpot potentialis very solid in and of itself, so it’s not like jackpots were sorely needed to beef things up. We prefer the original to be honest, but we might visit this version when the mega jackpot is overdue.
