Mega Fortune Slot Review

In many ways, Mega Fortune is similar to a regular video slot with a 5x3 grid, as well as 25 paylines. This slot has a minimum bet of $/€/£0.25, and a maximum bet limit of $/€/£50.00. It offers coin values from 0.01 to 0.50 and lets you choose your desired level, which can range from level 1 to 4. It is also good to note that on this slot, all bet wins lines pay from left to right. As with nearly all of NetEnts slots, you are able to select the autoplay function which ranges from 10 to 1,000 auto spins. It also allows you to choose to stop this function, for example, when winning free spins or a jackpot round.

For players looking to deposit and play Mega Fortune, we do have one important detail to point out. Technically this slot falls under the low volatility portfolio but keep in mind that this does not refer to the actual progressives. How else would you expect the jackpots to accumulate so rapidly?!

Return to player, or RTP, is a percentage figure representing how much a slot pays back to its players. Generally, most average online slots have an industry average RTP between 95% and 97%. Mega Fortune’s slot RTP payout percentage is 96%, which is not bad considering it offers a variety of jackpots.

One thing to point out is that 6.9% of this value actually goes straight towards funding jackpots. So unless you trigger the bonus round, Mega Fortune RTP for the base game is actually 89.1%. For those who never make it to the jackpots, this value is something to consider. If you are however set on playing progressive slots, then you'll be pleased to know that Mega Fortune still comes out on top. Even it's sequel, Mega Fortune Dreams, has a slightly lower return to player percentage.

When we talk of progressive jackpots, in more cases than not, two specific slots will come to mind, Mega Moolah and Mega Fortune. They sound similar and have both held the record for the highest payouts, on different occasions. In terms of design though, the latter is everything that Mega Moolah isn't.

Glamour, posh, bling; these are some of the best terms to describe the Mega Fortune Jackpot slot. It is still one of the older slots online so it can't help having an arcade feel to it. NetEnt have however done their best to play on the theme of luxury and wealth. Symbols include stretch limousines, expensive watches, fancy jewellery, money, expensive cigarettes and well-refined cognac re-creating life as a rich man.

Audio is what truly puts Mega Fortune a step ahead of its Microgaming competitor. Instead of sound effects, there's actually a background melody to this slot. The tune is mellow to match the life that potentially awaits future jackpot winner. We enjoyed this quite a bit at first, though it did get a little repetitive after a few minutes, so it wasn’t too long before we turned it off. The game has some pretty wonderful graphic features which really go with the rich and opulent theme and allow players an immersive experience.

Mega Fortune works flawlessly on both mobile and desktop thanks to NetEnts top leading casino software. We've also got you covered if you need any help with the best mobile casino apps for slots. 

You can land on Mega Fortune wild symbol, which says wild and is displayed as a cruise ship symbol. This Wild symbol substitutes for all symbols except for the bonus and scatter symbols. The Mega Fortune scatter symbol is shown as the fancy champagne bottle with 2 glasses symbols, and you'd need to get 3 or more scatter symbols to activate the Mega Fortune free spins. On top of that, if you get 2 or more scatter symbols during the free spins round, you can even activate additional free spins and multipliers. The maximum multiplier is X5 which we thought was quite high!

Perhaps the most important section in this entire Mega Fortune slot guide. At least for the brave-hearted player who are in it for the big jackpots.

For a Mega Fortune bonus game, you’ll just need to get 3 or more shiny wheel bonus symbols in the same line, to activate the Mega Fortune Wheel. Unfortunately, you can only activate one bonus game per spin, however, the wheels have interesting different levels. In fact, on the second and third Mega Fortune wheel, it gets a little more interesting as players have the option to choose a coin win or a jackpot win! It is a game based entirely on luck, as you never know what result the wheel will land on.

If you land on a coin value, then you just receive the payout, and the round ends, though its good to note that the maximum Mega Fortune bonus coin game win is $/€/£7,500. If you’re lucky enough to land on an arrow, then you are given a chance to spin the next level wheel. However, if you land on the jackpot, then you just receive the ultimate payout, and the bonus round ends there!

We absolutely loved their jackpot feature, which grows every time a player places a bet on Mega Fortune Slot. They currently have 3 Mega Fortune progressive jackpots called Mega, Major and Rapid Jackpots. They are easily located, as they are clearly displayed on top of the screen and display the live jackpot payout.

We were also very impressed to see that this slot was once a Guinness World Record for largest online jackpot won on a slot game with a total winning of 17.8 million! It was however eventually dethroned by Mega Moolah in October 2018 when a lucky player won 18.9 million! You can only win one progressive jackpot at a time, and all players around the world receive a message approximately 30 seconds after a jackpot is won. After they are won, the jackpots then reset to the below-starting values: 

• Mega Fortune Rapid Jackpot: $/€/£50 + 10% Bet Contributions 
• Mega Fortune Major Jackpot: $/€/£5,000 + 10% Bet Contributions
• Mega Fortune Mega Jackpot: 8% contributions from bets placed

In case you're wondering how to trigger the bonus game, unfortunately, we're about to disappoint you. There is no secret formula to predicting when you'll land 3 bonus symbols. This is gambling after all and if it was easy to win, you wouldn't be seeing those massive prize pools either. One thing we do know for sure is that higher wagers do increase your chances of winning. Now we're aren't telling you to go out and bet big on Mega Fortune slot though. Remember money management is just as important and there have been exceptions in the past!

It's not the highest paying jackpot out there, but it definitely comes in close at number two. Combine that with the audio and graphics we pointed out in this Mega Fortune slot review. Suddenly, the NetEnt progressive looks like it may just have that little edge over the actual record holder. No wonder there are so many casinos with Mega Fortune slot. This one's definitely a winner in our books!
