Liga Fortuna Megaways PRO

Review

This game follows closely in the footsteps of a similar title, but don’t let the “pro” in the title get your hopes up. This is actually a watered down version of the original game in all conceivable ways, and the predecessor wasn’t really all that impressive either. The grid has shrunk down to 5x6 reels, at best, with a measly 7,776 ways to win when firing on all cylinders.

Not exactly a monster in the dynamic grid genre in other words, and the somewhat bland visual presentation is more or less the same. You get to meet lookalikes of famous soccer players, and the grid is placed in the middle of the pitch with a packed stadium surrounding it. There is no noise from the audience, however, and the main attraction is a bonus round with sticky wilds. The 1,877x potential is hardly impressive in this genre, and especially not when the original non-pro version offers almost two times that.

Slot Features

The 3 premium symbol soccer players pay 3, 4, and 5 x your stake for 5 of a kind, respectively, with the top-tier symbol. You can land golden ball Wild symbols on reels 2, 3, and 4 only, and wilds step in for any pay symbol to help complete and/or improve line wins. You win by landing matching symbols on adjacent reels from the leftmost reel towards the right, and each reel can land with up to 5 positions.

You need 3+ trophy scatters in view to trigger the Bonus Round, and this gives you 10 free spins. Landing 3+ scatters in view on the same free spin, however, awards +5 extra spins each time. All wild symbols that appear in the bonus round become sticky for the duration of the feature, and the wilds change size according to the number of positions on the reel per spin.

The 200 Spins Slot Experience

You get to see a few wins here and there in the base game, including a decent wild win. We then trigger the bonus round with 4 scatters at 0:35 into the 2:08-minute highlights video, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

We have been scratching our heads about pretty much all releases so far, and this game is certainly no exception. What in the world is this studio thinking with a follow-up like this? They slap on “PRO” in the title, which gave us a vague hope that this would be a far better version of the original. Sadly, the opposite is the case, and the original wasn’t exactly great either.

They have somehow decided to shrink the grid to a 5x6 setup with only 7,776 possible Megaways, and the 1,877x potential is more or less sliced in half as well. Other than that, you’re basically looking at the exact same game in terms of the visuals and what little features are on offer. You get a sticky wilds bonus round, which is hardly the height of innovation, and we don’t see how this thing can compete in the market at all. It seems like a waste of license fees to be brutally honest, but at least there is plenty of room for improvement.
