And we can tell you that when it comes to big money and big prizes – the kinds of things that are associated with a glamorous world – NetEnt has a lot of “bragging rights” in that regard, since it was the source of the highest progressive jackpot ever paid on an online slot game; a whopping $19.84 million in January 2013.
Net Entertainment is Swedish-based, and has gained a tremendous foothold with online casinos around the world because of its innovative mindset. Mega Fortune is one of their old standbys, having been launched back in 2009. It has been described as a “legendary slot game,” and we’d say the description fits.
You have fifteen spots for symbols in this game – five reels with three rows. As far as wins within the regular game are concerned, there can be a maximum of 200,000 coins on a single payline. And there are very few games in the world that exhibit such a sleek design. It’s something you’ll enjoy, as it has just the right amount of bells and whistles.
Any wild in this game is going to substitute for anything except the scatter or bonus symbols to finish off a winning combination. And it can also act as a multiplier, increasing the value of wins five-fold. And if you get three or more scatters, you are in a position where you can select one scatter that gives you the number of free spins and your win multiplier. And while you are free-spinning, more scatters can get you more free spins.
There are bonus symbols in this game, and when three or more of them appear on successive paylines, going from left to right, that triggers the Mega Fortune Wheel game. And this is the unbelievably intriguing part of this game. It’s actually three wheels, not one, and the wheels all do something different. The first wheel can pay you up to 300 coins but could also send you to a second wheel, at which point you can win one of three available jackpots – this one being the Rapid Jackpot – with a 700-coin win or a trip to the next wheel.
With the third wheel, the possibilities are incredible. You could win up to 7500 coins, or something called the “Major Jackpot.” There is a third possibility – that of the wheel spinning and an arrow pointing right to the middle of the wheel, which would give you the Mega Jackpot.
That’s where the very huge money is; i.e., the prospect of millions. There are three jackpots. The Rapid and Major jackpots are paid off through monies from the casinos themselves – in other words, they are “local.” The Mega Jackpot, on the other hand, is something that is pooled from all of the casinos that have the Mega Fortune game.
Even though it looks mega-expensive, you can still get into this action mega-cheap, to the tune of a low coin level of 0.01. Play on your smartphone or tablet with NetEnt’s Touch technology. Play with the legend, and go for the millions!
This is a top progressive jackpot slot. I have been playing this game for over a decade but never hit any jackpots. Sometimes you can score some nice wins but other times the slot is dry. Fun game but the mega and major jackpot are unrealistic.
