The 88 Fortunes Megaways is a remake of the 88 Fortunes slot. It features 6 reels and offers up to 117, 649 ways to win. The slot is compatible with all OS and accepts bets as low as 0.08 and as high as £88 per spin.
The low-value symbols are represented by royals. Turtles, ships, birds, coins, and ingots are better payers. The Chinese symbol Fu Bat, believed to bring good luck, is the wild that appears on reels 2 and 5 and performs its standard symbol replacement duties. The Chinese gong is the scatter.
Similar to its Megaways counterparts, the 88 Fortunes is packed with features including but not limited to cascading reels, free spins, unlimited multiplier, high-value gold symbols. In addition, all symbols forming a winning cluster disappear to be replaced by new ones, which gives you the chance to score an unlimited number of wins in just one spin.
All Up Mechanics
If you have played other Bally slots, you should feel right at home with the All Up mechanics. If you have not, here’s how it works.
You can activate the mechanics for up to four symbols in the base game. These symbols appear golden and enhance your payout. Your minimum stake is increased in accordance with the number of symbols you activate the All Up feature for.
As a matter of fact, we recommend you to take advantage of the All Up or else, you will get quite disappointing payouts.
Coin Pot
Every time you land a Fu Bat wild, gold coins are added to the coin pot. The pot might start shaking and as a result, the Picker Feature comes into play. Then, 15 golden coins will be displayed. Each of them hides a number of free spins and a multiplier. Collect three matching symbols to determine your prize.
Free Spins
To trigger the feature you need to land at least 4 scatters on consecutive reels. Every winning reaction increases the multiplier x1, no limits.
Bottom Line
The 88 Fortunes Megaways seems geared towards high rollers as one has the chance to land a decent win only if the golden symbols are active. However, their activation leads to an increased stake size, which might be overkill for players nurturing a small bankroll.
Bally is yet to specify a release date. We will update this review when the 88 Fortunes Megaways slot goes live.
