A quick Google image search of “Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin” will immediately show that he was a unique individual. This is also depicted in the disco song by Boney M and his female choir, which is the inspiration for the Big Time Gaming release. The base game lacks vocals, but they are added into the bonus rounds for added drama. With a backdrop of Saint Basil’s Cathedral in the Red Square in Moscow, and disco lights flickering, wild Rasputin symbols frequently appear, adding up to 48 extra symbols to the Megaways grid. This feature is also present in both bonus rounds, one of which includes a progressive multiplier system. The grid, which can hold up to 10 (or 12) positions, is larger than typical grids, and the potential winnings are up to 68,180x your stake. The premium symbols can pay up to 50x your stake for 6 of a kind wins, and the Rasputin disco ball wild symbol helps complete wins. This symbol can add up to 48 symbols in the base game (and 60 in the bonus round), with the win calculation taking place after these symbols have been added. To trigger the Bonus Round, you need 3 or more scatter symbols, and there are two options to choose from when it triggers: The Win Exchange system allows you to trade wins of 100x or more for the bonus round, and if you win between 25x and 99x, you have the option to gamble all or part of it for a chance to win the bonus round. This system may not be available in all regions, and the same applies for the Bonus Buy option. If eligible, you can buy the bonus round for 100x your stake. This gives you a choice between two free spins features. Although Big Time Gaming has avoided a darker interpretation of Rasputin, their game Rasputin Megaways is a fun and innovative release based on Boney M’s popular disco song about the Russian mystic. The soundtrack is catchy and the symbol-adding wild feature makes the grid more dynamic, with potential winnings up to 68,180x your stake. The success of the game depends largely on whether or not players enjoy the music. The game Magic Monk Rasputin offers an alternative, darker interpretation of the Rasputin theme, with potential earnings up to 2,500x your stake. Other related games are Castle of Terror and Holy Diver, both from Big Time Gaming, with potential earnings up to 61,720x and 23,306x your stake respectively.
