Most people would have had at least one or two dreams about living the high life, and Mega Fortune plays out those dreams in the game. Speedboats, champagne, expensive watches, and limousines can all be found on the reels. While we all might not imagine that to be our view of the high life, we are sure that everyone would like a piece of the jackpots available in the game.

How to play

Mega Fortune is an extraordinary jackpot slot and there is no denying that fact, but the overall layout is ordinary, which is not always a bad thing. You have a 5×3 slot grid layout and 25 fixed paylines on which you need to line up the symbols on. Your minimum bet is €0.25 and the biggest bet in the game is currently available at €50 per spin, so there is room for the high rollers to come and play here, too.

Your overall betting amount can be adjusted and fine tuned by using the Bet Level and Coin Value options. The Bet Level offers 1-4 and you can choose 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.50 for the Coin Value. It is all straightforward and the overall bet per line amount is what you use to work out your prizes from the game’s paytable.

Symbols and payouts

The graphics in Mega Fortune are all linked to the high life and we have already spoken about the luxury items on show, but for the record, here is the full rundown of the symbols in the game. You have the four rings which are based on the card values of Jack, Queen, King, and Ace. You can easily distinguish these via the color of the rings which are red, turquoise, yellow, and green. The biggest prize from these is the 150x multiplier available on the green Ace ring. 

The higher value symbols are the luxury items and these are designed as the cognac and cigar, the dollar bill, the expensive watch, and the limousine. The prizes available from these symbols are worth anywhere from 10x your line bet to 1,000x your line bet when you land five of the limousines on any winning payline. Don’t forget that you can play the demo right here at GoodLuckMate if you want to get familiar with these symbols and paylines.

Mega Fortune also contains a Bonus Wheel symbol which takes you straight through to the Jackpot game. The Scatter symbol is the champagne bottle and glasses icon and this activates the Mega Fortune free spins feature. Lastly, the Wild is in the shape of a speedboat and this substitutes for all other symbols to create more winning combinations, it will not substitute the Bonus Wheel and Scatter symbols though. The Wild is also responsible for the biggest prize in the game (apart from jackpots) which is worth 50,000x your line bet when you get five Wilds in a row along with the 5x multiplier in the free spins feature, this is worth a total of €100,000.

Mega Fortune bonus feature

The Mega Fortune bonus round is the Bonus Jackpot game. But we need to explain the Scatter symbol and the free spins feature in a bit more detail first, as it does offer a few little extras when you finally reach it. As we mentioned above, three or more Scatters will activate the free spins and then depending on how many Scatters you spin, you will also be due a cash prize which will be worth anywhere between 2x to 100x your line bet.

Before you start playing the free spins feature, you need to choose how many spins and what bonus multiplier is going to be added to your wins. You do this by picking one of the Scatters that you initially found on the reels. The number of spins and the multiplier will be displayed and then your free spins will start rolling. If you spin another two Scatters or more during the free spins then you will be awarded a prize, either more spins or a multiplier, by again picking one of the Scatter symbols on the reels. 

Mega Fortune Jackpot

The Mega Fortune Jackpot bonus round is what every player wants to activate and you do so by landing at least three of the Bonus Wheel symbols on the reels. The symbols must line up on an active payline and in succession starting from the leftmost reel. If you manage to do that then you will be in for a chance of winning one of the three progressive jackpots available in the game; the Rapid Jackpot, the Major Jackpot, and the big one, the Mega Jackpot.

The bonus round takes you to a unique screen with the large Jackpot Wheel in front of you. You will notice the wheel is made up of three individual wheels and you need to successfully spin through each wheel to reach the Mega Jackpot. The first wheel offers up cash prizes or the arrow to take you to the second wheel. The second wheel offers cash prizes, the Rapid Jackpot, and the arrow that takes you to the third wheel. The third wheel again offers bigger cash prizes, the Major Jackpot, and the all-important arrow that takes you straight to the middle section where the Mega Jackpot is waiting.

It’s an entertaining feature that builds up the suspension with every spin and it has paid out many millions over the years, although reaching that centre Mega Jackpot sign is going to take a lot of luck!

RTP & Volatility

The Mega Fortune RTP has been set to 96.6% with a low volatility. Players are more likely to find smaller cash prizes while trying to activate the bonus features via the Wilds, Scatters, and Bonus Wheel symbols.
