Gifts of Fortune Megaways 101

If you think you can just waltz into the dragon cave and claim the copious treasures, you, dear Readers, are gravely mistaken. First off, you’ll need to craft a fool-proof strategy aimed at, first and foremost, keeping you in one piece. 😉 But worry not, we’ll be right by your side and have already gathered all essentials for your epic quest. So, without further ado, let’s venture into the land of Gifts of Fortune Megaways.

Starting off, let’s look at the game mechanics. You can’t solve a puzzle without knowing what the finished picture will look like, can you? Likewise, playing a Megaways Slot without being familiar with the game grid is also a huge no-no. Gifts of Fortune Megaways operates with 6 reels spinning vertically, and anywhere from 2 to 7 rows moving horizontally. The game grid also has the, typical for Megaways Slots, 4-symbol reel on top of the spins. All in all, the total paylines, as common for many Megaways Slots, amount to 117,649.

Gifts of Fortune Megaways also excels in the RTP department as it has an impressive 96.29%, which is not only more than what most slot games offer, but also slightly above the 96% desirable average. To quickly clarify for people unfamiliar with Slot games – the RTP, or return-to-player depicts whether playing a certain game will be worth the investment.

Following the trend of many Megaways Slots, Gifts of Fortune Megaways too has extremely high volatility. The key thing you need to remember is that the rewards will undeniably be large but so will the risk, so you need to carefully consider just how much skin in the game you really want. Of course, when the volatility is high so are the prizes. Gifts of Fortune Megaways has a max payout of 13,960x, which by all means is rather lovely. The minimum bet you can place is €‎0.20 while the maximum permitted is €20.

Symbols

If we’re going to be making a map to your riches, we’ll unequivocally need to include the symbols. In Gifts of Fortune Megaways, you’ll encounter the common division of Low and High-value symbols.

The Low-value symbols, as their name suggests, aren’t of that high a value. Their main function is to serve as a filler and keep the game balanced. After all, it’s not possible for every symbol to make you a millionaire. The Low-values include the 9-A royals, or for those unfamiliar with cards, the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A. If you manage to land a Low-value six-of-a-kind, you’ll be awarded from 0.4x to 0.5x the size of your wager. You don’t need an additional diagram to see why the Low-values aren’t worth that much effort.

The High-values symbols, on the other hand, may just live up to their name. In Gifts of Fortune Megaways, the High-values are the Frog, the Fish, the Turtle and the Dragon. Should you be fortunate enough to land a six-of-a-kind that consists of High-value symbols, you’ll be awarded from 1x to 50x the size of your initial bet. Quite a deal if you ask us.

Cascading Feature

Be aware that Gifts of Fortune Megaways has a reaction mechanic, also known as the Cascading Feature, that will remove any wins from the reels and replace them with symbols from above. The Cascading Mechanic will continue until there are no new wins on the game board.

Fortune Prizes

A Wild symbol is also present in Gifts of Fortune Megaways – the Wild Red Packet. These Wilds will appear on the topmost reel, and for each one in view, you will be awarded a Fortune Prize. As per usual, Wilds can also act as a substitute for all paying symbols. The vital thing to remember here is that if there are no Wilds on the top reel, Fortune Prizes will not be awarded.

A Wild Red Packet that participates in a win will automatically move to the left side of the game grid. However, if it is located in a leftmost position and simultaneously part of a win, the Wild Red Packet will be removed from play.

Free Spins

You know what’s usually a staple for Slot games, right – yep, you got that one correct, the Scatters. In Gifts of Fortune, there are even two of them, each bringing a fine reward: the Regular Scatter and the Megascatter.

You will be given 10 Free Spins, should you manage to land 3 Scatters (regular) during a round in the base game. Each additional Scatter, present at the time on the game grid, will grant you 2 more Free Spins.

If, however, one of the three Scatters happens to be a Megascatter, the Enhanced Free Spins Feature will be triggered.

The Free Spins will commence with a Pot Multiplier of x1. Each Wild Red Packet that lands will add a +1 to the Multiplier’s value. If you happen to win any Fortune Prizes, they will be impacted by the Pot Multiplier, their value increasing in accordance. Were you to land 3 Scatters while the Free Spins Feature is active, you would receive an additional +4 Free Spins, and another 2 Free Spins for each consecutive Scatter going past the number 3.

The Enhanced Free Spins Feature works more or less the same, the only difference being that 1 Wild Red Packet is guaranteed to land during every spin.

Treasure Pot

The Treasure Pot is actually the above-mentioned Multiplier Symbol. It has the potential of granting a Multiplier of up to x10 at any time. Any Fortune Prize you win will be multiplied by the Treasure Pot’s value.

Win Exchange Feature

If you happen to feel in need of extra Free Spins, you can always make use of the Win Exchange Feature. It will provide you with the opportunity to get 10 Free Spins in exchange for 80x the size of your initial bet any time a win of 80x the wager occurs.

Alternatively, when a win of 25x to 80x the stake occurs, you will be able to bet for the chance to win 10 Free Spins on a Green and Red wheel.

Another hassle-free option is for players to simply purchase a regular round of Free Spins for 70x the amount of their wager, or to opt for buying the Enhanced Free Spins for 200x the size of their initial bet. All in all, while Gifts of Fortune Megaways’ Buy Bonus does sound tempting, you are advised to carefully weigh both the pros and cons, in particular, the fact that there is no guarantee you’ll get back your money’s worth.
