Our take
Megaways slot steeped in historical intrigue (Gunpowder Plot) with massive 20,000x max win and 5M+ payline combinations.
Fawkes by Wicked Games plunges players into the shadowy depths beneath 17th-century London, where the Gunpowder Plot unfolds in slot form. The 6×4 base grid expands dramatically through splitting symbols, unlocking up to 5,159,700 possible win combinations—far exceeding the base 4,096 ways. This mechanic is central to the game's appeal: each spin holds the potential for explosive reel expansion.
The game's 96.23% RTP sits squarely mid-range, paired with medium volatility that avoids extreme swings. Maximum win potential climbs to 20,000x stake, rewarding patient play or strategic feature purchase. The historical setting—rebellion, smoke, sparks of revolution—permeates the visual design, giving Fawkes thematic cohesion that transcends typical slot aesthetics. Symbols and background imagery evoke the period and plot, immersing players in the narrative backdrop.
Core mechanics center on splitting symbols (which expand payline counts) and customizable free spins. The bonus-buy feature allows immediate feature access, and the combination of splitting mechanics with free spins creates dynamic potential. Volatility is medium, meaning wins arrive with reasonable regularity while 20,000x remains attainable.
