What the Fox Megaways from Red Tiger with Wily Fox enjoying neon lights, expensive cars, stacks of cash, and Vegas nightlife. Alongside its colourful theme, the slot packs in the Megaways system, cascading wins, expanding wild reels, and a free spins feature with an increasing multiplier. It's a game that keeps things moving from the first spin to the last.
This is definitely one of the brighter online slots we’ve come across. The reels sit in front of a neon Vegas skyline with Wily Fox up in lights on one of the billboards. On the reels there’s a mix of card ranks and themed symbols like limousines, cash bundles, whiskey bottles, and casino chips.
Winning combinations trigger smooth cascading animations, while the wild reels arrive with plenty of visual flair. During free spins, the action becomes even more energetic as multipliers continue to climb. The soundtrack is provided by an energetic drummer mostly, who adds a bit of audio flair to events on the reels.

Before the bonus begins, a prize wheel spins to see how many free spins are awarded, along with a starting multiplier.

What the Fox Megaways uses a 6-reel Megaways layout with variable reel heights. The number of symbols displayed on each reel changes with every spin, creating a constantly shifting number of winning ways.
Wins are formed by matching identical symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. Thanks to the Chain Reaction mechanic, winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones.
Megaways slots come in all shapes and sizes, and these are just some of the games in our collection:
We think What the Fox Megaways succeeds because it knows exactly what sort of game it wants to be; unapologetically flashy, with neon lights, expensive toys, and foxes enjoying the high life at every opportunity. Ok, we admit the combination of cascading wins, Megaways mechanics, stacked wild reels, and the growing free spins multiplier isn’t exactly new. But it’s a combination that works or we wouldn’t see it so often. .
If we had one criticism, it's that the visual effects are a little busy. Still, players who enjoy colourful slots packed with action and plenty of movement should find plenty to like here.
