Mega Fortune Slot
If you enjoy all things retro and chic, then Mega Fortune progressive jackpot slot from NetEnt might be just what you’ve been looking for. Since its launch back in 2012, Mega Fortune has paid out millions in winnings to payers all across the world. One of the highest recorded payouts occurred recently in June of 2020 when a player from Sweden won an estimated 2.6 million Euros. Mega Fortune contains plenty of interesting features and bonus rounds, making it one of the easiest progressive jackpot slots to win significant amounts on.
Gameplay
Thanks to its high level of flexibility and easy-to-use interface, Mega Fortune is not only simple to play, but also allows for all sorts of budgets. The game’s main control panel contains a number of useful features that are designed to tailor-make your gaming experience on the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot slot.
To start playing Mega Fortune, begin by choosing your coin size. This can be accomplished by adjusting the Coin Value panel, located on the right of the central play button panel. Simply use the left or right arrow to adjust your coin value up or down, from a low of 0.01, up to a high value of 0.50.
The next step is to adjust your bet level. Since Mega Fortune features 25 fixed paylines, which means that they are always in play, you cannot determine active paylines based on your budget. However, NetEnt gives you the option of adjusting your bet level instead. To do this, simply select the Bet Level panel located on the left side of the central play button panel. Again, use the built-in left or right arrows to adjust the bet level.
There are 4 bet levels:
- Bet Level 1: 1 coin per payline = 25 coins bet per spin.
- Bet Level 2: 2 coins per payline = 50 coins bet per spin.
- Bet Level 3: 3 coins per payline = 75 coins bet per spin.
- Bet Level 4: 4 coins per payline = 100 coins bet per spin.
Of course, if you want to save time and your playing budget allows for it, you can simply click on the Bet Max button, located on the right-hand side of the play button. This will automatically activate the highest coin value and bet level for that spin. Keep in mind that clicking on the Max Bet button will also automatically trigger the reels to spin, so be sure before clicking on Max Bet.
In addition to the Max Bet button, you will also find an Auto Play button, located on the left-hand side of the main spin button. This allows you to spin the reels automatically every time they stop spinning. Some players prefer using this feature as it allows them to multitask, play other slots, or do other tasks at the same time. Once you’ve clicked on the Auto Play button, a pop-up window will appear which allows you to adjust the number of spins for that session. Again, simply use the left or right arrows to adjust the number of auto spins from as little as 10 spins up as many as 1000 spins per session.
Game Design
Mega Fortune is arguably one of the most eye-catching of all progressive jackpots slots, thanks to its elegant and ultra retro-chic graphics and design. It’s quite clear that the main theme that NetEnt was going for is a 70’s disco, glitz, and glam look. This era, along with the ’80s, is known as one of the most extravagant and most luxurious of any modern era.
There is plenty of eye slot candy contained in this slot and, if you are the type of player that aspires to that level of glitz and glam, then this will serve as a great inspiration to keep spinning the reels. What also helps are the cool and fun animations that occur when you hit certain winning combinations. For example, hit the right number of scatters and the symbol, which is a bottle of champagne and two glasses, will come to life. The champagne will pop, the glasses will fill and it’s celebration time.
Similarly, when you land the wild (the speedboat) in a winning combination, the speedboat will come to life, racing and bouncing along the waves. The Mega Fortune Bonus Wheel itself is also wonderfully animated and dazzlingly decorated, making this one of the most immersive and opulent progressive jackpot designs of all time.
Mega Fortune Free Spins
When you land three or more scatters across the 5 reels, you’ll trigger the Mega Fortune free spins bonus round. During your free spins, if you manage to land two or more scatter symbols again, you’ll trigger more free spins or the game’s multiplier. What’s really nice about these scatter symbols is, when the reels have stopped spinning, the game will ask you to choose one of the scatters symbols by clicking on it. This will reveal how many free spins you’ve landed, and what strength of multiplier you’ve got (up to 5x). During your free spins bonus round, if you land two or more scatters, the same process repeats itself. You click on one of the scatters, and it reveals how many additional free spins you’ve won, or additional multipliers.
Mega Fortune RTP
Mega Fortune is rated as a medium variance or medium volatility slot. What this essentially means, is that the slot pays out relatively frequently, and at a relatively high payout. The RTP or Return to Player percentage is rated at around 96.6%, which is also comparatively high for a progressive jackpot slot of this class.
Mega Fortune Free Demo
You can try Mega Fortune progressive jackpot slot out for yourself for free. NetEnt allows for a demo play option in the slot, which allows a certain number of ‘free coins’ to play with. This is a great way to try out the slot for yourself to see exactly how the game’s main feature works. See how the scatters are triggered and how free spins bonus rounds work and, if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to trigger the Mega Fortune Bonus Wheel, to see how that works too. If you like how this slot works, switching over to play for real money is also very easy to do.
Additional Game Features
Mega Fortune contains a number of additional features, which go a long way to enhancing not only the overall gameplay, but the chances of higher wins as well.
Mega Fortune Wild Symbol – The wild symbol, represented by the luxury speedboat, will act as a substitute for all other symbols with the exception of the scatter symbol. This allows for much easier and quicker winning combinations across the game’s 25 paylines. The wild symbol also carries its own bonus payout, and getting 5 wilds in a row across a payline will yield a max payout of 10000x your stake.
Mega Fortune Scatter Symbol – The Mega Fortune scatter symbol is represented by the bottle of champagne and two champagne glasses. While you’ll only get 100x your stake for 5 in a row of scatter symbols, the main job of this symbol is to trigger free spins bonus rounds.
Mega Fortune Bonus Wheel – The Mega Fortune Bonus Wheel is at the heart of the Mega Fortune slot and is the one bonus feature that everybody wants to trigger. This is where you’ll have a shot at one of the three Mega Jackpots. The Three Mega Fortune Jackpots are:
- Mega Jackpot (Biggest jackpot)
- Major Jackpot (Medium jackpot)
- Rapid Jackpot (Smallest jackpot)
To trigger the Mega Fortune Bonus Wheel, you’ll need to land three or more Bonus Wheel symbols, from the leftmost reel to the rightmost reel on an active payline. If you get this right, the reels will stop, a bonus wheel animation will alert you that you’ve triggered the main bonus round, and a new screen will appear.
The screen contains the Mega Fortune Bonus wheel, a three tiered (3 wheel) design that is very clever in how it works. The outermost reel contains cash prizes and arrows that, if you land on, will take you to the second or middle wheel. The second wheel contains even bigger cash prizes as well as arrows that will take you to the third wheel. While the third wheel also contains bigger instant cash prizes, it features a diamond arrow which you will use to try and win the Mega Jackpot prize.
Summary
Without a doubt, Mega Fortune remains one of the most iconic progressive jackpot slots of all time. NetEnt really got it right with this one, and it is one of the most fun and rewarding progressive jackpot slots that you will ever play. We suggest trying it out right now for yourself in demo mode and, we’re rather confident that you’ll be playing it for real money in next to no time.
