We’d all love a chance at the finer things in life and NetEnt’s Mega Fortune promises just that. A parade of expensive rings, watches, diamonds, cars, and other millionaire paraphernalia clutter the reels, as you spin your way to one of 25 winning paylines. But simple payline wins aren’t all you have to look forward to. Mega Fortune makes good on its millionaire theme with a handful of high-earning special features.
Sure, you’ll be keeping an eye out for wild and scatter symbols that will bring you closer to Mega Fortune’s 2,162x maximum win, but it’s the bonus game you’ll want to trigger. Opening the door to landing one of three progressive jackpots, the bonus has huge potential. The slot’s low volatility setting makes it pretty easy to activate, and we got quite a few triggers during our playtest.
So, if you like the sound of progressive jackpots coupled with a millionaire theme, check out our full review below.

Wild Symbols – We’ve all sighed with relief at the sight of that wild symbol landing just in time to save a doomed spin. These lifesavers appear as luxury yacht symbols that step in for any missing pay symbols that could get you one of 25 fixed paylines.
Scatter Symbols – As these are the key to free spins, we were constantly on the lookout for them. But these coveted champagne bottles turned out to be pretty elusive. So much so, that we only landed the required three scatter symbols once during our playthrough.
Free Spins – Once you land three or more scatter symbols, the free spins bonus is finally unlocked. Clicking on one of the scatters shows the number of spins you’ve won. Despite its low volatility level, we found it quite hard to trigger free spins, but when we did, the added win multiplier of up to 5x pushed us close to that 2,162x maximum win.
Bonus Game – Although free spins proved tricky, Mega Fortune’s bonus game triggered every few spins. It takes 3 or more consecutive bonus symbols from the leftmost reel onward to activate it and once you’re in, you’re presented with a tiered money wheel. Each tier offers instant cash prizes, as well as the three progressive jackpots.
Progressive Jackpot – Activating the bonus game might be simple enough, but it takes a lot more to land Mega Fortune’s progressive jackpots. You’ll need to navigate across the wheel’s four tiers by landing the arrow symbol. Once you make it to the second tier, you can land the lowest Rapid jackpot. Similarly, the third tier offers the Major Jackpot. Finally, landing the third consecutive arrow wins you the Mega jackpot. Unfortunately, we never managed to make it past the first tier, but players around the world have had better luck. The highest Mega jackpot payouts gave away €3,773,845 and €2,971,469.
Mega Fortune ended up being one of our favourite progressive jackpot slots. The free spins win multiplier helped us close in on the 2,162x maximum win, while wild symbols kept base game spins fresh. And that’s just the start of Mega Fortune’s potential. The bonus game with 3 progressive jackpots and instant cash prizes takes you way beyond the regular game’s maximum win. We managed to trigger the bonus game plenty of times, and although the jackpot prizes were never forthcoming, we still managed to get our hands on a few instant cash wins.
With its balanced set of features and incredible potential, Mega Fortune is the perfect slot for VIP players.
Mega Moolah might just be the most popular progressive jackpot game of all time. This classic offers no less than four progressive jackpots, which can be randomly triggered on every spin. Its feature list is almost identical to Mega Fortune’s, although the math model is rougher here, with RTP reduced to 88.12%.
This is IGT’s upgrade to a classic slot! It delivers all of the original features, paired with a progressive jackpot prize. It also comes with a reduced 92.48% RTP, but the maximum win here is significantly better at 50,000x. You’ll be able to close in on the max win cap through double wild multipliers and free spins win multipliers.
