Slot Wars - Peak Power VS Wild Wild Riches Megaways

Releasing up to 7 new titles each month, Pragmatic Play is known as one of the busiest providers of slots. So, it’s no wonder why two of its latest slots are battling today - Peak Power and Wild Wild Riches Megaways. 

It’s time for a new episode of slot wars - start the battle!

Peak Power slot comes with a 5x3 grid with 10 paylines. Its rival has the bigger playground made of 6 reels and 3 rows but with anywhere from 2 to 7 symbols possible to land on each reel.

Thanks to popular megaways mechanics, it offers up to 117,649 ways to win. Nevertheless, both slots have the same massive maximum prize of 10,000x the stake. 

The volatility in these two slots is also equal, ranked 5 out of 5 by the provider. Playing in the real money mode in both games starts from €0.20 bet per spin. 

Not even the RTP can decide the winner of this round. You guessed it, the return to player is exactly the same in these titles, set at 96.02%.

 This might be the first time that participants of the slot war have identical winning potential, volatility level and an RTP. Meaning this round ends with a tied result. 

The main attractions of Peak Power are multipliers from 2x to 500x that can appear attached to specific paylines on any random spin. When a winning combo is formed on a payline with an active multiplier, the multiplier is applied to a win before being paid out. 

Landing three, four or five Scatters activate a bonus round with 10, 12 or 14 free spins respectively. Here things heat up since a multiplier of at least 5x is attached to all paylines. 

To make things even better, higher multipliers may appear attached to random paylines at any free spin. During free spins, these higher multipliers rise from 10x all the way up to 1,000x.

In Wild Wild Riches Megaways, the spotlight is placed on Money symbols that lead to the Money Collect Feature. Money symbols can land only on reels 3, 4, 5 and 6.

They are collected when 2 Wilds are also in view on reels 1 and 2, as well as adjacent Money symbols, making a left-to-right way. Values of these symbols are cash prizes from 1x to 20x the bet.

Also, Money symbols can also award one of the jackpots - Mini, Minor, Mega or Maxi Jackpot, worth 25x, 50x, 100x or 250x the bet respectively. In addition, multipliers of 2x, 3x or 5x can be applied to the total collect feature win.

When Wilds land on reels 1 and 2 at the same time as a bonus symbol appears on reel 3, the bonus round is triggered. Before the round start, players are randomly awarded 6 to 20 free spins that then can be gambled for a chance to get more free spins. 

During free spins, more Wilds as well as Money symbols are present on the reels, acting the same way as they do in the base game. In the bonus round, hitting Wilds on reels 1 and 2 plus a bonus symbol on reel 3 awards 6 additional free spins.

Both of these games offer the chance for players to take a shortcut and purchase free spins round. Hence, the bonus feature in the Irish-themed slot costs 100x the bet, while Power Peak offers two options - buy regular free spins for 100x the stake or Super Free Spins that cost 300x the bet and where every payline has a minimum multiplier of 100x attached to them.

While both slots come with strong bonus features, Wild Wild Riches Megaways has a slight advantage over its rival. With Money collect, jackpot and gamble round within free spins, it simply has more bonus features that spice up the gameplay. Therefore, it is the winner of this round. 

It’s not so easy to determine the theme of the Peak Power slot. Sure, it kinda revolves around power with symbols depicting water, fire, and electricity but also the casino classic bar symbols. 

An electrifying game might have its theme a bit undefined and jumbled, but at least its visuals have a dash of originality. On the other hand, the leprechaun-themed slot is a Megaways version of the provider’s Wild Wild Riches and doesn’t defer much regarding the visual presentation. 

However, it is noticeable that visuals are enhanced. Symbols are more polished, more detailed and more vibrant. Despite the over-used theme, this altogether makes Wild Wild Riches Megaways much more attractive to the eye and makes it a winner of this round as well. 

This was a thrilling battle since both slots come with exactly the same winning potential, RTP and volatility. Although highly entertaining gameplay and interesting features are found in both games, this round determined Wild Wild Riches Megaways as the winner of this episode of slot wars. It was a quite tight battle, which suggests that Peak Power is also a slot you should definitely try out.
