Mega Fortune slot
Mega Fortune is a NetEnt slot released on 23 January 2009, played on 5 reels, 3 rows and 25 paylines. Its defining feature is the Jackpot Bonus Game: three bonus symbols on an active line open a set of three wheels, and each time the pointer stops on an arrow you move inward, closer to the three progressive jackpots. In the base game, the wild is a speedboat.

How Mega Fortune plays
The reels are stocked with trappings of wealth. Rings marked with card values sit at the low end of the paytable, a diamond watch and a bundle of dollar bills sit higher up, and the limousine is the top-paying regular symbol. Matching symbols pay along 25 fixed lines across a grid of 5 reels and 3 rows.
The speedboat is the wild. It fills in for the regular symbols to complete a line, but it cannot replace the two special symbols, and those two carry the game’s bonuses. Scatters lead to the Free Spins, while bonus symbols have to line up on an active bet line to open the wheels and the jackpot chase.
Free Spins
Three or more scatters start the Free Spins, but the award is hidden at first: you click one of the scatters that triggered the round, and it reveals how many spins you get and the multiplier that applies to them. That multiplier sits between 1x and 5x, and every win in the round is multiplied by it. The round can grow as it goes, since two or more scatters on a free spin bring either extra spins or a step up in the multiplier, which tops out at 5x.
Jackpot Bonus Game
Three bonus symbols on an active bet line send you to three wheels set one inside another. The outer wheel spins first, and you stop it with the Stop button. If the pointer rests on an arrow, you move on to the middle wheel, and from there to the inner wheel, with each step bringing the bigger jackpot chances closer. If it rests on a coin value instead, that amount is paid and the bonus ends. Three progressive jackpots are attached to the wheels.
Mega Fortune compared with Divine Fortune
Divine Fortune is NetEnt’s later progressive jackpot slot, launched in January 2017. It also has three jackpots, one of them progressive, but they are won differently. Instead of a wheel, its Jackpot Bonus spins gold coins onto the reels: one full row pays the Minor jackpot, two rows the Major and a full grid the Mega. It uses 20 lines on the same 5-reel, 3-row grid, where Mega Fortune has 25. Its bonus is reached by three or more bonus symbols landing during the main game, whereas Mega Fortune asks for them on an active bet line.
| Game | Released | Grid and lines | Jackpot feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Fortune | 23 January 2009 | 5 reels, 3 rows, 25 paylines | Three wheels; arrows move you towards three progressive jackpots |
| Divine Fortune | January 2017 | 5 reels, 3 rows, 20 paylines | Gold coins fill one, two or three rows for the Minor, Major or progressive Mega jackpot |

For the moment of choosing your own free spins, Piggy Riches is the closest match: another NetEnt game set in a wealthy country mansion, where you also pick one of the scatters to reveal a free spins and multiplier combination. Jack Hammer is a NetEnt slot on the same 5-reel, 3-row grid with 25 paylines, and it also boosts its free spins, tripling every line win in the round. Both are in the Fortune Games lobby. Fortune Games has an app on the App Store and Google Play.
Frequently asked questions
How do the wheels work in the Mega Fortune online slot?
They are played from the outside in, and you press Stop to halt each one. Landing on an arrow takes you one wheel further in, closer to the jackpots, while landing on a number pays that coin value and closes the bonus. Every Jackpot Bonus Game ends with either a coin prize or a jackpot.
Can the free spins be extended in the Mega Fortune game?
Yes. If two or more scatters land while the free spins are running, they add either more spins or a higher multiplier to the round. Extra multiplier steps stack on the current one, but the multiplier can never go past 5x, however many scatters you collect.
Does the speedboat wild help you reach the jackpot wheels?
No. The speedboat completes lines of regular symbols only, so it never stands in for a bonus symbol. To open the wheels, three real bonus symbols must line up on an active bet line, counting from the leftmost reel, which means the jackpot route depends entirely on those symbols landing in the right places.
