88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: Theme & Symbols
88 Fortunes MegaWays is very similar looks wise to the standard 88 Fortunes slot – with an Asian theme and red dominating the background, you’ll see A, K, Q, J, 10 and 9 royals as well as ingots, turtles, ships, jade birds, coins, gold ingots, gold turtles, gold ships and gold birds. The latter pays 10 times your stake for 6 across a payline.
88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: up to 117,649 ways to win
Being a MegaWays slot, the number of ways to win varies with each spin – the more symbols per reel, the more MegaWays. If you see 7 symbols on every reel, you’ll benefit from the maximum 117,649 MegaWays. To form wins, you need to land matching symbols on adjacent reels – starting from reel 1.
88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: Cascading Reels feature
When you get a winning combination, the contributing symbols explode – this allows for new symbols to take their place. This means you can get another winning combination. The cascades keep on coming until no more new wins are formed.
88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: Symbols Per Play feature
88 Fortunes MegaWays comes with a Symbols Per Play feature – to the right of the reel set you will see options to play with 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 gold symbols. The more you choose, the higher your stake – if you played with 1 gold symbol, you’d pay between 8p and £8 your stake. Play with 5 for stakes of between 88p and £88 your stake. The gold symbols are more valuable than the standard versions basically.
88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: Picker feature
The Fu Bat symbol is the wild and replaces all symbols bar the scatters – it appears on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5. When 1 or more Fu Bat wilds appear on the reels, the Picker feature can be randomly triggered. You will then come across 15 coins – you match 3 to win a free spins option which will give you 10, 12 or 15 free spins with a multiplier of 6x, 4x or 2x respectively.
88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: Free Spins feature
The Free Spins feature is played when you get 4 or more gong scatter symbols on consecutive reels starting from reel 1 (i.e. reels 1, 2, 3 and 4) – you will then get 8, 10, 12 free spins for 4, 5 or 6 gongs. Land 3, 4, 5 or 6 gongs during the feature to win an additional 8, 10, 12 or 15 free spins. Beginning with a 1x multiplier, the multiplier increases by 1 with every winning combination/cascade. This is known as the Unlimited Win Multiplier feature.
88 Fortunes MegaWays Slot: Closing Thoughts
88 Fortunes Megaways is a normal MegaWays slot with an Asian theme (the first I think). It has a lot of the features found in other MegaWays games like cascading reels, free spins and unlimited win multipliers. The main difference is the Symbols Per Play feature which gives you higher value gold symbols.
I like the Pick feature as this can give you access to the Free Spins feature with a starting multiplier of 6x. Winning free spins will also increase the multiplier infinitely. Overall, it’s a slot I recommend if you like MegaWays and the Asian theme. Variance wise, it’s in the middle with possible payouts of 10,000 times your total stake per spin or free spin.
