Mega Masks is an interesting Relax Gaming slot thanks to its Mega Bet Levels mechanic, unique on the market. RTP that boosts to 96.41% via Mega Bet Level 1 is a genuine strategic edge. The catch: a 2,451× max win that's very modest next to other Relax titles (Money Train, 150,000×; Hellcatraz, 50,000×). It's more about mechanical variety than chasing big scores.
The mechanics in detail
Mega Symbols (3x3 blocks)
Mega Masks's distinguishing feature: Mega Symbols (3x3 blocks of the same symbol) can land randomly on the grid. If the top symbol (the golden mask) lands as a Mega Symbol, the payout potential is huge.
Mega Bet Levels 1 & 2 (unique)
The signature mechanic: you can activate Mega Bet to boost the odds of landing Mega Symbols.
- Mega Bet Level 1: +20% stake, 96.41% RTP (+0.20% vs. base), removes 5 artifacts at the start of the free spins, boosts Mega Symbols
- Mega Bet Level 2: +50% stake, 96.28% RTP, removes 9 artifacts at the start, massively boosts Mega Symbols (5/5 volatility)
This is one of the rare mechanics on the market that lets you increase your RTP by paying more.
Free Spins + Fireflies (Artifacts)
With 3 scatters on reels 1, 3, 5, you trigger 10 Free Spins. During the free spins, fireflies progressively remove artifacts from the grid. Every 5 artifacts removed grants +2 extra spins — extendable bonus rounds.

Lets you go straight for the free spins.
Aztec/Maya theme
Iconic symbols: golden tribal masks (top pay), pyramids, artifacts. Relax's 2020 artwork — clean and readable.
Strategy for playing well
Mega Bet Level 1 is the best strategy
- RTP boosts to 96.41% (vs. 96.21% base)
- Only +20% stake
- Mathematically, the extra investment pays off over the long run
Target the Free Spins
The EV comes from the free spins with fireflies. Aim for 3 scatters on reels 1/3/5 (or buy the bonus). The more you retrigger (+2 spins per 5 artifacts), the emptier the grid gets, meaning denser combos.
Medium-high volatility
Recommended budget: 200-400x your stake (€40-€80 at €0.20/spin). Medium-high volatility means more stable sessions than high volatility.

Mega Masks FAQ
How do the Mega Bet Levels work?
Mega Bet Level 1 raises your stake by 20% but boosts the RTP to 96.41% (vs. 96.21% base) and removes 5 artifacts at the start of the free spins.
Mega Bet Level 2 raises the stake by 50% (96.28% RTP, removes 9 artifacts at the start, but 5/5 volatility — much more extreme).
It's unique in the slot market — you can boost your RTP by paying more.
Which Mega Bet should I choose?
Level 1 is mathematically the best choice: 96.41% RTP (the highest) for the smallest extra cost (+20%). Level 2 raises the variance for players chasing bigger scores.
Why is the max win so modest (2,451×)?
The slot is balanced around longevity (the Mega Bet mechanic plus progressive fireflies) rather than huge spikes. For a bigger Relax max win, look at Money Train 4 (150,000×) or Hellcatraz (51,840×).
Is the bonus buy worth it?
The bonus buy targets the free spins directly. The bonus-buy RTP is similar to the base game. Worth it if your budget allows and you want shorter sessions.
Is it available on mobile?
Yes — HTML5, mobile-friendly on iOS/Android through the browser.

Verdict: Mega Masks is a unique Relax Gaming slot thanks to its Mega Bet Levels mechanic. An RTP that boosts to 96.41% is rare in the market.
