Developer launches the most extreme Megaways slot to date with an eighth reel that delivers a range of thrilling bonuses to players

Stakelogic, the award-winning developer of player favourite classic slots and modern video slots, has taken big win potential to the next level with the launch of its latest blockbuster title, Extreme^TMMegaways^TM.

Not only does Extreme^TM Megaways^TM offer up to 117,649 ways to win with every spin, the slot has been packed with additional bonus features including Free Spins, Super Stake^TM and an eighth reel that can deliver one of several bonuses for some truly extreme wins.

Free Spins are triggered when four, five or six Scatter symbols land on the reels awarding five, seven and ten Free Games respectively. A x2 Multiplier is awarded before the feature gets underway and increases by x1 for each win that lands and by x4 if the reels expand.

The Gamble Drop feature allows players to gamble their Free Spins with a maximum of 14 Free Games up for grabs. This feature is skipped if the player lands seven Scatters and unlocks the full ten Free Games. Free Spins have a max win of 50,000x the player’s original stake.

Extreme^TM Megaways^TM has an eighth reel that sits above the seventh Megaways^TM reel. There are five bonus symbols in the reel and when one of the symbols lands in the central section of the reel, the respective bonus will be awarded including:

Random Wilds – a random number of Wild symbols are added from reels two to six

Multiplier Wilds – two Multiplier Wild symbols are added from reels two to five

Destroyer – all regular symbols will be removed from reels one to six

Mystery – Random Mystery symbols are added from reels one to six and then convert into the same random symbol

Dropping Wilds – one of the reels between two and five is filled with Dropping Wilds

It would not be an Extreme^TM Megaways^TM slot if the features stopped there which is why Stakelogic has also hooked the game up to its innovative Super Stake^TM feature. This allows players to double their bet to increase the chance of triggering one of the game’s bonus features.

In Extreme^TM Megways^TM, this sees more Scatters added to the reels to improve the chance of Free Spins triggering. Players can also use the Buy the Bonus feature – in the markets where it is permitted – to enter the Free Spins bonus with five Free Games.

Finally, players can gamble their winnings by guessing the card colour or the card suit and if they guess correctly their win will be multiplied by x2 or x4 respectively.

Olga Bajela, CCO of Stakelogic, said: “This is absolutely the most Extreme Megaways^TM slot to hit the market to date.

“Not only does it offer 117,649 ways to win with every spin, but we have packed the game with a trove of features that take the big win potential to the next level.

“The eighth bonus reel is spectacular, building anticipation as players wait to see what bonus might drop onto the reels at random.

“Extreme^TM Megaways^TM sets the standard for other Megaways^TM slots to follow and we look forward to seeing it go live with our operator partners.”

Ebba Arnred, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Play’n GO, commented “We’re always very pleased to have our work recognised at the various awards throughout the year, but to win five in one fell swoop is almost unprecedented. It’s very special to be awarded Slot Supplier of the Year for a second year in a row, and RNG Casino Supplier of the Year is another well-received feather in our cap. We would like to thank 5 Star Media and the entire judging panel, as well as our entire team here at Play’n GO, without whom these award wins simply wouldn’t happen. On a personal level, I’d also like to express gratitude for the individual recognition of a 5 Star “Top 20” Award.”

Andrew Pink, Head of Brand and Communication at Play’n GO, said “Play’n GO’s driving ambition is to be the best entertainment supplier there is. Aside from producing some of the most played games and best loved characters in the world, that ambition is often realised by things largely unseen by those outside the company.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.

MSSA promotes all the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.

The choice is ultimately up to the school.

The various games offer unique opportunities to many South African learners. Many learners have been able to earn Regional, Provincial, and National Colours which have allowed them to earn bursaries and obtain first-class educations.

MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team.

With the above in mind the MSSA has streamlined the process for schools to affiliate to the MSSA.

There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.

As long as the school club has the approval of the school, and has an Educator-in-Charge, a school may affiliate by merely completing the Application for Affiliation Form and submitting such to MSSA.

In order to affiliate, the completed Application for affiliation Form must be submitted to the MSSA.

Once the Board has approved a school’s affiliation, the school then needs to complete the Google Registration Page allocated to the school for the players and make payment.

All school members may participate in all events for which it qualifies. Such events include meetings, championships, courses, and so forth.

Advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club: There are many advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club, such as:

Being part of a community where your club has a real say in how things are done
Being able to apply for National Lottery Funding – MSSA member clubs can apply for up to R800,000.00 in funding
Being able to get assistance from your local government
Experience increased media exposure of your events and your gamers
Become part of the international community through the MSSA Registered players are able to become internationally recognised umpires, etc.
Enable your gamers to take part in MSSA events, which may qualify them for Regional, Provincial, and National colours, overseas trips, and even sports bursaries at university.

MSSA’s Constitution

The Constitution forms the foundation of the MSSA. It guarantees members rights and governs the way that the MSSA operates. It can only be amended by a two-thirds majority at a Council Meeting. Please remember that Associations only have two (2) votes each, whereas member clubs have a representational vote, being:

Private clubs: one vote per every five registered players, and
School clubs: one vote per every ten registered players.

MSSA’s General Regulations
The General Regulations comprises of decisions made by both Council and Executive Committee Meetings. The General Regulations deals with how sub-committees operate as well as to how teams are selected and development funding is distributed. Please refer to Schedule 10.12 in regard to the rights of clubs in hosting events.

MSSA’s Discipline Specific Regulations
The Discipline Specific Regulations deal with rules concerning the different disciplines. The Disciplines that the MSSA caters for are; Board Gaming, Card gaming, Esports, and Figure Gaming.

Application for Affiliation form
When a club applies for membership, the applicant club must complete such form and return the same to the MSSA.Fee note for 2025
The fee note details the Affiliation Fees and Registration fees that are payable.

Player Registration Form
The Player Registration Form needs to be completed by every player that is a member of a club and intends to participate in MSSA affairs.

MSSA’s Letter of Undertaking
The Letter of Undertaking is for all registered players who sit on any MSSA committee.
