About The Rodfather Megaways
The Rodfather Megaways is the most ambitious Booming Games title on the Big Time Gaming engine. Released in November 2022, it transposes gangster-film imagery into a fishing world built around a legendary angler. The grid holds six reels whose height changes on every spin, up to seven rows, for 117,649 ways to win in the standard configuration and up to 200,704 when the Max Megaways modifier fires.
The technical sheets relayed by reference catalogues give an RTP of 96.4%, a high volatility and a maximum win of 34,200 times the stake. That ceiling places the title far above everything else in the studio's catalogue, its own first Megaways included. The recorded hit frequency is around 21.73%, and that of the free spins roughly one spin in two hundred and ninety-four.
The engine runs on cascades: symbols taking part in a combination disappear, those above drop down and new ones arrive from the top. The chain continues for as long as new combinations keep forming. Mystery symbols also appear at random and all reveal themselves as one shared identity, which can line up a large number of reels in a single stroke.
The game's signature mechanic is the collection of Cash Fish. These symbols carry a value expressed as a multiple of the stake, placed by reference catalogues between 1 and 50 times, and they can be collected at every stage of the game, base phase included. The Fishin' Time function brings in a Collect symbol that gathers the values present on the grid and credits them in one go.
The free spins trigger from four scatters and open a run of ten spins. Their distinguishing feature is a progressive multiplier with no announced limit: it climbs by one point on every cascade and does not reset between spins in the run. Each additional scatter obtained during the phase adds five spins. It is the combination of that cumulative multiplier with the Cash Fish that makes the ceiling of 34,200 times the stake theoretically reachable.
The catalogues consulted list no bonus buy option for this title: the free-spins phase is obtained through the scatters alone. The game ships in HTML5 and is playable on desktop and mobile, with autoplay and a quick-spin mode reachable from the settings menu. Betting bounds vary from one catalogue to another and are set by each operator.
Placed within the Booming Games catalogue, the title marks a break in scale. The studio had first approached the Megaways engine a year earlier with Howling Wolves Megaways, on a ceiling fifteen times lower and a design logic in which modifiers animated the base game. The Rodfather Megaways takes the opposite road: a plainer base game, and a potential almost entirely tied to the free-spins sequence and the accumulation of the multiplier.
