Window shopping

The graphics here are very sleek and smooth. In the background, there’s a boat on a blue sea and silhouettes of palm trees dotted around while the sun sets in the centre. In short, it’s the sort of scene you could expect to see regularly if money was of no concern whatsoever. Though drawn in a cartoon style, there’s plenty of detail, and that’s particularly true when it comes to the play board.

It has a silver translucent sheen, so you can make out some of the glitzy background, but the focus here is very much on the exquisite symbols. From gold and silver rings with different coloured jewels to a fat black cigar and a crisp white limousine, they don’t look low-budget in the slightest, and are sure to impress. The music playing has a mellow, loungey feel with shades of funk, and definitely adds to the immersive experience you have when playing this slot.

Waiting in the paylines

Mega Fortune has 25 paylines, and you’re unlikely to see any that are too out of the ordinary. They all go rightwards from the leftmost reel, as you’d expect, and there are eight regular symbols to match along them. There are four rings, two gold and two silver, and each with a different coloured centre - they’re the low-value symbols in this slot, but due to Mega Fortune’s low volatility you could well become familiar with them.

The remaining half of the symbols are more valuable, and consist of a glass of whisky and a cigar in an ashtray, a wristwatch, a wad of cash, and a limousine - the limo is the most valuable symbol by some margin. Five limousine symbols will pay out 2x as much as five cash symbols, the next most valuable. However, the wild symbol is more valuable than any of the others, five of them paying out 10x as much as five limousines. It also substitutes for all of the regular symbols, failing to topple only the bonus and scatter symbols. Meanwhile, the RTP, or return-to-player, of Mega Fortune is 96.6%. 95-97% is about average, so this slot is on the higher end of what’s normal, meaning that you can expect a decent return on your wager.

Getting a bonus

There are two key bonus features that you should be aware of, and you’ve got every chance of triggering both! First, there’s the Bonus Round - to get this, just find three bonus wheel symbols anywhere on the reels from a single spin. Then, simply select the spin button to give them a spin! The outer wheel will get you cash prizes and arrows - these arrows allow you to move to the second and third wheels for the chance of some even bigger prizes! A diamond-rich arrow resides in the third reel - you use this in the Mega Jackpot, which gives you the opportunity to win over £1.29 million!

Three or more scatter symbols will earn you free spins. To decide just how many free spins you’re awarded, you’ll have to choose one of the scatter symbols, and it’ll give you a number as well as a multiplier - your maximum can be 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier. Get two or more scatters while playing free spins to win extra free spins or boost the multiplier up if it’s not yet at five - you could win a fair bit of money here!

Conclusion

The low volatility and reasonable RTP make Mega Fortune great for less experienced players, but players of all stripes are sure to enjoy getting a taste of the high-life in this NetEnt slot. The draw of the Bonus Round and free spins could prove too tantalising to resist, as is the prospect of the Mega Jackpot. Can you turn the symbols into the real thing with some good wins here?
