1 Million Fortunes Megaways

1 Million Fortunes Megaways Review

1 Million Fortunes Megaways follows the footsteps of a successful slot, which has captured the hearts of many players with its flashy gameplay and massive winning potential. Much like the predecessor, 1 Million Fortunes Megaways provides over a million payout opportunities for the players at full capacity, adding an extra seventh reel during the free games.

However, the developer has taken a somewhat lazy approach since there's hardly anything new except for the skin. The features, math, etc reminded almost untouched, and the only room to get creative was the theme, though, don't expect anything quite unique. The game has switched from prehistoric to a classic Far East theme, with traditional looks, symbols, and sounds. You can't say that 1 Million Fortunes Megaways looks bad, but the original release does feel much more stylish. Anyway, the slot is targeted at the Asian audience, who won't find anything to complain about here.

During the base game, the slot plays out on a standard 6-reel Megaways grid, where the number of rows in each reel is determined at random at the beginning of each spin. In accordance with the genre, each reel can hold from 2 to 7 symbols, producing from 64 to 117,649 ways to play on each spin during the base game. However, should you enter the free spins feature, a massive extra reel will appear in the middle and increase the number of paylines up to a staggering 1,058,841!

Players drop in by setting bets from €0.1 to €50 per spin, which is wider than most Megaways slots offers, and that should appeal to any kind of gambler. The volatility tends to the high side of the spectrum, while the default RTP is solid at 96.2%. However, due to RTP ranges, the payback value can be different between the casinos. With that said, the other possible return percentages are 88% and 94%. As for the max win, players can hope for payouts up to 45,000x the stake here, which is definitely worth the risk involved.

The symbol collection includes 10 regular symbols that are split into two categories, namely high and low. The lower symbol lot is made up of classic A-10 royals, while the premiums include in ascending order lotus flowers, coins, turtles, ships, and phoenixes. Three or more adjacent symbols starting from the leftmost reel create a win, except for the phoenix, who needs only two. Seven-of-a-kind symbol wins are worth 1x the stake, and higher-paying symbols award from 2x to 7x the bet. The two-headed dragon symbol is Wild, which appears anywhere on reels 2-7 to substitute for any other regular symbol.

1 Million Fortunes Megaways Slot Features

True to Megaways fashion, each successful spin triggers a tumble. That means whenever you hit a win, the winning symbols get removed from the reel to allow new ones to drop down and fill the gaps. The cascading process continues as long as you keep scoring wins, or until you reach four successive tumbles, which triggers the Free Spins. More than that, the Cascading Wins feature is linked to the progressive Multiplier that is applied to all wins you score during the base game - each successive tumble increases the Multiplier by +2x, up to a maximum of 8x. However, it's not carried over to the free games and resets once you enter the feature.

As alluded to earlier, four successive tumbles activate the Free Spins bonus. Players receive 8 spins, and each additional tumble after the fourth gives +2 extra spins, up to 14. During the bonus, a new Multiplier comes into play, which increases after each tumble by +1x. Moreover, an additional central reel that can hold up to 9 symbols will be added, increasing the potential number of ways to over a million! It is called the Reel of Fortunes, and once it hits the full height, it locks at that number of symbols and awards +5 additional free games. Moreover, when any other reel appears with 7 symbols, it also locks for the remainder of free games and grants +1 additional spin, as well as increments the Multiplier by +1x.

When the Reel of Fortunes locks at 9 symbols, all Wilds that appear on that reel become sticky and remain in the position for the duration of the bonus. Sticky Wilds can tumble down the reel, after which they will stick in the new position. Up to 9 sticky Wilds can appear on the central reel.

Those willing to jump straight into the action can skip the less exciting part and activate the Free Spins immediately via the Buy Feature. For the cost of 50x, 85x, 135x, 200x, and 270x your current bet, you can buy 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 free games.

Review Summary

All up, 1 Million Fortunes Megaways is decent, although it doesn't really differ from an older title, as it's basically the same game but in a new skin. However, it didn't intend to bring something new to the players and was probably designed to circumvent certain market restrictions and/or attract a new audience. Anyway, it has a lot to offer, from fancy gameplay to an insane winning potential, and those really into the Asian thing will appreciate the effort for sure.
