The Munchies
The Munchies is a lively and engaging specialty slot from Genesis Gaming that invites players to snack on treats with the munchies! The little munchies are the stars of the show and these hungry characters eat everything in sight from the sandwiches and pizza slices to the cupcakes and lollipops. All the symbols are either tasty food items or the munchies themselves with 3 rows of symbols laid out over 5 reels.
This game features many of the usual features of slots such as wild symbols, scatters, free spins round and big multipliers which are available during the feature bonus game. There is some energetic music playing throughout the game while the colours and background are bright and fun with clouds floating past which look like blobs of ice cream!
Meeting the Hungry Characters
The 4 munchies here are all having a fantastic party with the pink, purple, green and multi-coloured munchie awarding the best payouts and the food items awarding the lower payouts. There is also an orange bag of crisps which acts as scatter and a green packet of sweets that serves as the wild symbol.
To get started playing this slot for real money, you have to pick your bet by clicking on the arrows at the bottom of the reels. This can be changed from a minimum of 0.01 per payline up to a max bet of 2.00 per payline. Overall this gives a minimum bet of 0.25 and a max bet of 50.00 per spin. Other options include an autospin button which allows you to play an infinite number of spins automatically.
Pick Your Plate!
To play this game, you need to select a space on the reels to place your plate. This activates a special square and if a munchie lands on this, all the munchies on the reels the same as the plate munchie will eat the food on their rows. The munchies cannot eat other munchies or wilds and scatter symbols. You will receive multipliers for the snack foods eaten with up to 10x available.
When the foods have been eaten, they will disappear to be replaced by new symbols which tumble down from above. If the munchie remains on the plate, the same thing happens again with the munchies eating more food until no new snack food arrives to be eaten. If a new munchie falls onto the plate the feature will begin again.
Free Spins and Multipliers
If you hit 3, 4 or 5 scatters you begin the free spins round where you get 10, 20 or 50 free spins respectively. The random multiplier awarded to your payout increases to up to 20x.

In addition to these extra rewards you can also win 2x your bet when 3 or more scatters arrive on screen, while hitting 5 wild symbols at the same time gives you a 1000 payout!
