Grows on Trees Megaways: Slot Overview

You’ve probably heard the saying “money doesn’t grow on trees,” often used by a parent or guardian to underline that cash is finite and to discourage yet another request—maybe for a toy—because it simply isn’t happening. Still, it’s fun to imagine the opposite: a magical tree in your garden where you can pick baskets of banknotes instead of ordinary (if healthy) fruit. Alas, reality calls. In the real world, Grows on Trees Megaways is an online slot created by independent developer Slot Factory and released by Skywind Group, serving as a remake of the earlier title Money Grows on Trees.

In Grows on Trees Megaways, a large leafy tree sits behind the reels, acting as the place where coin symbols can “grow”—or at least show up. With its bright, cartoony style and upbeat tone, the game almost makes the idea feel plausible in this sunny little world. Naturally, we know that isn’t how it works, but it’s a casino slot, so outcomes can go either way—cash in your pocket, or nothing at all.

As with any slot, getting started in Grows on Trees Megaways means choosing a stake from 20 c and then hammering the spin button like a furious lumberjack. Beneath the foliage is a 4 out of 5 rated, highly volatile math model, offered in three RTP configurations with a top return of 96%. The action plays out on a 6-reel Megaways layout, where each reel can land 2 to 7 symbols per spin, creating up to 117,649 ways to win when the grid fully opens up.

For payouts, Grows on Trees Megaways does that irritating thing where it splits the total bet by 20, then shows win multipliers based on that smaller amount. The pay symbols include cherries, lemons, oranges, grapes, watermelons, plums, limes, sevens, and a logo symbol. On the paytable, the prize for landing 6 OAK is listed as 15x to 150x, but since those numbers apply to 1/20 of the stake, the actual return works out to 0.75 to 7.5 times the total bet. Needlessly confusing. Mushroom wilds appear in Grows on Trees Megaways too, replacing standard symbols to help form winning ways.

Grows on Trees Megaways: Slot Features

Now for the add-ons, with the extra mechanics covering coin wins, free spins, and Mega Spins.

Coins

With every spin, the tree in the background produces coin symbols that show bet multipliers. If 3 coin symbols land on reels 2, 3, and 4, players collect the coin multipliers displayed in the tree along with any wins formed on the reels.

Plant Food Free Spins

Landing 3, 4, 5, or 6 plant food scatters awards 8, 12, 15, or 20 free spins, respectively. In free spins, more coins appear around the reels, increasing the chance of potentially bigger returns. Mega food symbols are also enabled during free spins, and landing 3 of them activates the next feature.

Mega Spin

Landing 3 or more mega food symbols during free spins awards extra free spins, and a single Mega Spin is also granted. On the Mega Spin, all coin multipliers upgrade to their maximum possible values. Once this special spin is complete, players return to regular free spins to finish any spins still left.

Grows on Trees Megaways: Slot Verdict

Much like the moment you learn money really doesn’t grow on trees, Grows on Trees Megaways ended up feeling a little underwhelming after a decent run of spins. The core concept is mildly intriguing—coin symbols displayed among the branches as prizes to be won—but Grows on Trees Megaways didn’t improve as you got further into it. If anything, it went the other way: what initially looked like respectable symbol payouts quickly drooped once you factor in Slot Factory’s odd way of presenting values, made worse by a cute but slightly flimsy, unfinished vibe.

It almost feels like (without making any accusations—this is simply the impression) Grows on Trees Megaways makes its payout potential harder to read because it may not be especially strong overall. For instance, Slot Factory hasn’t provided max win figures, and Grows on Trees Megaways didn’t give the sense of being a high-ceiling title. A clue is the Mega Spin, which the paytable positions as one of Grows on Trees Megaways’ headline features. Yet the paytable also states wins up to x800 on a Mega Spin, and if that number is subject to the same 1/20 bet division used elsewhere—and there’s no reason to assume it isn’t—then the top Mega Spin payout would be 40x the total bet, which isn’t exactly earth-shattering.

All told, Grows on Trees Megaways is pleasant enough, with a fairly distinctive way of showing coin symbols you can win among the leaves and branches, but it came across as underfed—like it needed an extra couple of shovelfuls of manure to truly flourish.
