How to Play Netent’s Super Progressive Slot “Mega Fortune”

As an online casino enthusiast, you might be interested in playing a video slot that gives you a chance to win millions of dollars. Assuming that is so, there are only two online video slots that payoff anywhere near that stratosphere. That would be Mega Moolah from Microgaming and Mega Fortune from Netent. The following information will focus on the later, Mega Fortune and its super generous progressive slot jackpot.

About Mega Fortune

Netent developed and introduced "Mega Fortune" back in 2013. It was the software developer's response to competitor Microgaming's progressive slot Mega Moolah. Since its introduction to online casino players worldwide, Mega Fortune has delivered multi-million dollar jackpots on a least 50 occasions, once paying off a massive €17,860,868.

Over the last 10 years or more, one or the other of the two aforementioned progressive slots has ruled the Guinness Book of World Records (GBWR) under the category of "Largest Online Slot Jackpot." Indeed, aside from getting a no deposit bonus there is nothing more rewarding than winning a massive jackpot! Sure, the chances of hitting are minuscule but there is little risk involved vs. traditional slots.

How to Play the Mega Fortune Base Game

The game has a "Return to Player" percentage of 96% with a medium volatility rating, which is both about average within the industry. The game-play matrix features 5 reels, 3 rows, and 25 different ways to win. Wager limits are set at $.25 per spin with the maximum being $50 per spin.

The standard lowest-paying symbols are represented by playing cards Jack through Ace, all inset in golden rings. The standard highest-paying symbols are represented by luxury items like a Rolls Royce, a diamond watch, a money clip, and fine wine.

The game's wild symbol is represented by a yacht, which can serve as a substitute for any standard symbol to create more and larger payouts. The game's scatter symbol is represented by the "BONUS" icon. If a player lands 3 or more scatters during a base spin, they will receive free spins with multipliers that range from 1x to 5x. During free spins, landing two or more scatters will bring more free spins and higher multipliers. The number of free spins and multipliers are randomly determined each time.

Note: the maximum payout from the base game runs as high as $250K.

How to Play the Mega Fortune Progressive Game

While the base game could return a maximum jackpot of up to $250,000, players might get a shot at a much higher jackpot if they are lucky. That shot is what the software developer refers to as the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot game.

How does an online slot player get access to the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot game? Here you go.

Mega Fortune players all over the world are linked together through a server maintained by Netent. Every time a wager is placed on the slot, a small portion of it is siphoned off and added to one of three progressive jackpots that keep growing until a lucky player wins the jackpot in question. The minimum "MEGA JACKPOT" always resets to $500,000 after a win.

To get access to the progressive jackpot games, players will need to keep playing the base game. Every time they land three or more scatter symbols on one pay line, they could be chosen at random to default to the progressive jackpot game. There is no way to predict if and when that is going to happen.

If a player DOES get chosen, they will immediately go to the progressive jackpot "Wheel of Fortune." With that access, they will get one initial free spin of the wheel.

After the initial free spin, the player will win a standard amount or hit a progress arrow to the "Rapid" wheel. On the Rapid wheel, they will spin again. They will either win a small amount, win the "Rapid jackpot", or hit a progress arrow to the "Major" wheel. On the Major wheel, they will spin again. They will either win a small amount, win the "Major jackpot", or hit a progress arrow to the "MEGA JACKPOT." That's where their life changes and the player becomes an instant millionaire.

As a point of reference, it would appear that the aforementioned progressive jackpots are currently at $54 for the Rapid jackpot, $5,424 for the Major jackpot, and a massive $2,689,005 for the MEGA JACKPOT. This is according to the Netent website. These numbers will change rapidly as players worldwide play the base game and take down the progressive jackpots.

The evidence suggests that the MEGA JACKPOT gets a hit about once every two months.
