Muertos Multiplier Megaways Demo & review

In the free spins of Muertos Multiplier Megaways, a WILD does not add to the win multiplier: it doubles or triples it, and every tumble then adds one more step on top. Pragmatic Play released this Day of the Dead Megaways game in October 2022, with a High volatility label. It suits bonus chasers who accept a quiet base game and like a decision before the round, because a wheel sets the number of spins and you can gamble it upward.

How Muertos Multiplier Megaways works

A symbol pays when it lands on reel 1 and on each neighbouring reel after it, and the number of ways changes with every spin. Reels 1 and 6 hold up to seven symbols. Reels 2 to 5 hold up to six, plus one more on a horizontal top row that spins right to left. Winning symbols disappear, new ones drop in, and the tumbles carry on until nothing new pays. Each way pays only its highest win.

The ways count is the six reel heights multiplied together. A full grid has seven symbols on every reel, top row included, and seven multiplied by itself six times gives the 117,649 maximum. Before our first spin the counter read 44,100.

WILDs land only on the top row, so they can only bridge reels 2 to 5. They stand in for every symbol except BONUS. In the base game that is all they do: the multiplier meter that gives the game its name runs only in the free spins.

The free spins meter: what stays and what resets

Nothing resets until the round is over. The meter starts at x1 and gains one step with every tumble. Each WILD that lands carries a random x2 or x3, applies it to the win of its own tumble, then multiplies the meter by it. Whatever the meter reads is used for every win until the last spin, and the free spins also use their own special reels.

By the rules, a meter at x5 that meets an x3 WILD jumps to x15. The next tumble then adds one step, not three. So the order matters: a WILD that lands after a run of tumbles multiplies all of them, while an early one multiplies very little.

For us the meter is the whole game. The base game has tumbles and a wide ways range, but nothing in it compounds.

How to trigger free spins

Three to six BONUS symbols start a wheel that picks between 5 and 14 free spins, and more BONUS symbols remove the low values from it. BONUS symbols that land during the round add spins, with no limit on retriggers:

The gamble wheel

If the wheel stops below 14, you can gamble for one more spin at a time. A win adds the spin and lets you go again, up to 14. A loss ends the bonus with no spins at all. The chance of each step is printed in the game:

Chained together, those odds mean a climb from five spins all the way to 14 comes off about 9% of the time. From eight it comes off about 29% of the time. Each step is safer than the last, but every step risks the whole round.

The wheel drew five spins on our natural trigger. We collected instead of gambling for six. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.

Bonus buy: price and what you get

The buy costs 100x the bet and lands three to six BONUS symbols at random. You still get the wheel and the gamble offer afterwards, so the price buys a start, not a fixed number of spins. Its RTP sits three hundredths of a point below normal play. There is no ante bet.

RTP, volatility and max win

The rules give 96.03%, and 96.00% when you buy. No other version showed up in our session, and casinos choose the setting they run.

Pragmatic labels it High volatility on the intro screen and in the rules. Wins are limited to 10,000x the bet, and a free spins round stops the moment its total gets there. With no meter outside the free spins, a long round with WILDs landing late is the realistic way toward the cap.

Our Muertos Multiplier Megaways demo test

The bought round showed what the meter can do in a few spins. The wheel gave eight, BONUS symbols in the round added one more, and by the last spin the meter stood at x24. The round still paid back less than its price.

The natural round on spin 24 was the short version. Five spins, collected without a gamble, paid $26.80. Most of the base game's return came from spins 41 and 42, which paid $18.00 and $21.60 back to back, and 34 of the 100 spins paid something.

The natural round's result: $26.80 from five free spins, triggered on spin 24. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.

A gambled wheel and a round long enough to stack several WILDs are not in our record, so both are described here from the rules alone. One session of this size shows how the game behaves, not what it returns.

Is Muertos Multiplier Megaways worth playing?

For a bonus chaser who accepts that a wheel sets the length of the round, yes. For a short-session player, no. The meter is what lifts it above a standard tumble Megaways: tumbles add, WILDs multiply, and nothing comes back down until the round ends. The price is that the wheel can hand you five spins, and the only way to more is a gamble that can cost you the lot.

Pick Power of Thor Megaways if you want the same one-step-per-tumble multiplier at Medium volatility, with the spin count set by its scatters and a 5,000x cap. Pick Muertos Multiplier Megaways if you want WILDs that multiply the meter and twice that cap, and can accept harsher swings and a start the wheel decides.

Try one bought round in the demo and keep your eyes on the top row more than the reels. Each WILD that lands there is a moment the meter jumps rather than ticks, and seeing one arrive late tells you more about this game than any base spin.
