Wild Celebrity Bus Megaways Review

The theme of this game immediately took us back to the hilarious Seinfeld episode where Kramer arranges his “Peterman Reality Bus Tour”. What many people don’t know is that this episode is actually inspired by a guy called Kenny Kramer’s “Kramer Reality Tour”. This guy took people around New York to different locations featured in Seinfeld, and he was also an inspiration for Michael Richard’s unforgettable frenzy-haired character.

Anyway, Wild Celebrity Bus Megaways takes you on a celebrity hunt bus tour around London, and the bus is filled with anything from knitting old grandmothers to young punks and sharply dressed business men. A Respins Feature can help trigger the main attraction, which is the progressive multiplier bonus round. The multiplier is capped at x50 though, and the max win is “only” 4,000x your stake. We prefer to rewatch the Seinfeld episode to be honest, as this is shelf-filler stuff from Pragmatic Play.

Wild Celebrity Bus Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2 and 25 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and you can also land Wild symbols on reels 2 to 6. The wild steps in for pay symbols to help complete and/or improve wins, and all winning symbols are removed via the Tumble mechanic.

This allows new and/or existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps, and the tumble wins process repeats for as long as you keep winning.

You need exactly 3 scatter symbols in the same tumble win sequence, or on the very same spin, to trigger the Respins Feature. The triggering scatters become sticky, and you get 5 respins for the remaining positions. You win like in the regular main game, but landing 1, 2, or 3 extra scatter symbols will trigger the bonus round. In essence, this feature is simply a potential way into the main attraction.

Speaking of, the Free Spins Bonus Round triggers from 4, 5, or 6 scatters on the same spin, or in the same tumble or respins sequence, and this gives you 8, 10, or 12 free spins, respectively. The bonus round comes with a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per tumble win.

It comes with an upper limit of x50, and it never resets for as long as the bonus round lasts. You win +5 extra spins when you land 3+ scatters in the same tumble sequence.

On a final note, non-UK players, and anyone eligible, can purchase the Free Spins round via the Bonus Buy menu. This will set you back 100x the stake, and it guarantees 4+ scatters on the spin that follows. In addition, you can purchase the Respins feature for 20x your stake, which gives you 5 respins with 3 sticky scatters. This may be a cheaper way into the bonus round.

You get a relatively brief taste of the base game, before we purchase the Respins Feature around 0:25 into the 2:53-minute highlights video. We did not manage to trigger the bonus round from the respins, so we purchase the free spins round right after instead. This happens around the 1-minute mark, and you can check it all out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

The theme of this game failed to engage from the get-go, and you don’t really get to see any celebrities anyway. The bus doesn’t really go anywhere, and day simply shifts to night when the bonus round triggers.

At least take us on a tour around London to see some of the famous sights if you’re gonna make a game like this, or throw in some hilarious celeb caricatures for good measure. But no, there is nothing going on here that’s out of the ordinary.

The Respins Feature is admittedly not something we’ve seen before, at least not exactly in this format. That being said, it’s simply there to possibly take you into the main attraction, which makes the base game kind of barebones and lackluster. The bonus round multiplier is capped at x50, which is a tad unusual, and the 4,000x potential is hardly all that impressive either. Overall, we expect better from Pragmatic Play, and we don’t think there is enough starpower here to make any kind of lasting impression on most players.
