Poli Diaz Megaways Review

We count only 63 slots in the boxing genre at this time, and very few of them come with a Megaways engine. MGA Games’ theme choice for their first ever Megaways release is therefore not the worst, and it’s built around Spanish boxing legend Policarpo "Poli" Díaz Arevalo. The math model is hardly a heavy hitter though, something that really holds this release back from being the champ it could’ve been.

Poli Diaz held the European lightweight title from 1988 to 1991. He was an 8 times undefeated European Champion with 28 KOs under his belt when he finally lost the title after 12 rounds against Pernell Whitaker in 1991. You get a bonus round with an unlimited progressive win multiplier, but the weak 1,525x potential and the almost unheard of 90 % RTP will make this a hard sell to anyone but diehard fans.

Poli Diaz Megaways Slot Features

The premium symbols pay between 2.5 to 50 x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Poli Diaz Wild steps in for regular pay symbols to help complete wins. The wild slides in on the bottom horizontal reel only, and all winning symbols are removed in a cascading wins fashion. This makes room for new and/or existing symbols to drop down to fill the gaps, and the process repeats as long as you keep winning.

Scatters appear on the main grid in the base game, and you need 3 in view in the same cascading sequence to trigger the Bonus Round.

You get a random amount of between 5 and 15 free spins, and scatters can appear on the bottom sliding reel to retrigger the feature. You get an unlimited progressive win multiplier that increases by +1 per cascade, and it never resets during the bonus round.

You get to see some base game cascading wins (or ‘chain explosions’ as they’re called in this game), before we trigger the bonus round around 1:10 into the 2:48-minute highlights video. We drew 10 free spins from the bell tally, and you can see for yourself how it all played out by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

MGA Games is apparently a popular provider in the Spanish and Latin-American markets, but it’s very hard to be impressed by what amounts to their Megaways debut release. Poli Diaz may be a legend in Spain, but for most people he’s a long forgotten boxer from the late 80s and 90s. He’s mostly standing there flexing his ripped body anyway, while moving his arm slightly on occasions when you land a win or two.

The sound of each bottom reel tile sliding in gets annoying almost immediately, and there are no base game features outside of cascading wins.

Getting only 5 FS sucks, while 10 to 15 is decent, and you get the fairly standard unlimited progressive multiplier. Don’t expect miracles from it though, as the max win is a very ‘lightweight’ 1,525x your stake. To top it off, the RTP is only 90 %(!) - a full 6 % below average - making this the worst Megaways release we’ve ever seen.

Pros

• Branded effort built around Spanish boxing legend
• Cascading wins and wilds on bottom sliding reel
• FS w/ progressive unlimited win multiplier

Cons

• Few outside of Spain remember Poli Diaz
• The 1,525x potential cannot compete in the Megaways genre
• RTP of 90 % is exceptionally low
