Mega Fortune is a 25 line progressive online poker machine developed by Net Entertainment. It has three different jackpots which are all won via a Wheel Bonus and also has free spins where you can also win big.
In terms of jackpot size very few pokies both online or offline can compete with Mega Fortune. The game is listed in the Guinness World Records for paying out the biggest online jackpot in history which came in at a staggering €17,861,813 or $26,302,519 in AUD at the time of writing.
Betting Limits
To get in on the jackpot action you have to play at least 25c per spin but you can bet up to $50 per game if you like betting big. It's worth pointing out that bet size has no effect on the chances of winning the jackpots.
In fact both the world record jackpot and several other big wins were won by players betting the minimum 25c a game so any bet size can result in you becoming the latest Mega Fortune multi-millionaire.
Wild Symbol
The Boat symbol is wild for all symbols except the Bonus symbols and the scattered Champagne symbols. Getting five wilds on an active line pays 10,000 credits or up to 40,000 credits if you play four credits per line.
Jackpot Wheel Feature
Getting three or more of the Bonus Wheel symbols on an active line aligned left to right starts the jackpot bonus where you stand a chance of winning one of the three progressives or a consolation prize.
There are three wheels and your aim is to get to the Mega Jackpot segment on the inner wheel. On the outer wheel you have prizes and arrows, land on an arrow and you move to the next wheel. The second wheel has arrows, prizes and a Rapid jackpot segment.
Land on an arrow and you move to the final wheel where the wheel spins again and you have a shot at scooping the Major or Mega jackpots. The Mega jackpot is shared across all casinos with the game while the Major and Mini are different at each casino.
You have the option of choosing when to stop the wheels spinning or you can wait 20 seconds. Either option makes no difference to the outcome as the final result is decided as soon as you trigger the feature.
Free Spins
Getting three or more of the scattered Champagne symbols triggers the free spins. You then select one of the symbols to find out how many free games you get and the multiplier for your free spins. The free game amounts range from 5 to 20 and the multipliers range from 1 to 5.
During the free spins getting two or more scatters gives you an extra pick where you can win either an extra multiplier or extra free games. The fact that two symbols give you these extra bonuses means you tend to get more free games almost every time.
The jackpot wheel feature can be won during the free spins but as you would expect the winnings from the bonus are not multiplied by your free games multiplier.
