Mega Fortune - close to €10 million

[ecopac]

Is your chance of hitting the JP the same regardless of bet size?

 

[ecopac]

Well I've been going at this for about 3 hours now, on a £100 deposit at 50p spins. Agree with all the other comments, boring as hell. Highlight being getting a 4 symbol feature entry, getting into the last circle one segment away from the arrow into the Mega Jackpot, and winning £25. Balance still sitting around the £25 mark.

Not bad playtime though for £100, I'll give it that. I've had the feature wheel about 15 times I'd say, once into the last reel, twice into the second reel all the rest either 1x or 2x stake.

Don't know. Some say yes and others no.

But I think that most of the big Mega Fortune jackpots have been won on a relatively small bet, so I always advice players not to go crazy on this game. The guy who won the €11.7 million jackpot only bet €0.50

 

[Redbet-Andy]

No, you don't.

Your chances of landing the jackpot vary proportionally with your bet size in the bonus round.

That said, ten 50c shots should give you the same chance as one fiver shot of course...

Im a little confused. Are all the Mega Fortune slots hooked to one another through the various netent casinos or is just that each casino has a Mega Fortune Slot games thats already over 10 million?

I only really play DOA, Star burst and Jack Hammer 1 (in that order) on Netent.. lol

Another thing it's important to know is that you can't win the Mega Fortune jackpot using free rounds.

I know a lot of casinos are marketing free rounds/spins as though you can win the jackpot with them and we were guilty of it in the past.

However, I then checked with NetEnt and discovered you can only win the jackpot with real money funded rounds, so bear that in mind.

I was wondering this last night when I played it for the very first time ever (the lure of €13 mil!!!)

Does increasing your bet make it more likely you will get the three scatters for the bonus feature,
OR does it improve your chances of getting a better win on the wheel?
My guess is the latter - but I would like to have it confirmed.

Another aside question: What is the bloody point of the Wheel Scatter symbols on reels 4 & 5?
The pay-table says you only get one spin of the wheel regardless of 3, 4 or 5 scatters - but does getting more than 3 increase your chances of a bigger win?

My play: I didn't find it too boring. Probably helped by getting the free-spins twice which kept my balance up for quite a while, until it eventually "died" and took €150 off me (mostly at €2.50/spin).
Got the wheel bonus 3 times - every time it was a mid-sized win from the second ring.

Hi
Yes they are in a pool so all spins at participating casinos contribute to the mega jackpot.
You'll see varying amounts for the two lesser jackpots as they hit at the individual casino.

I had the same questions, you're correct it's the chances of landing the jackpot on the wheel.

 

[Rick Deckard]

I had the same questions, you're correct it's the chances of landing the jackpot on the wheel.

I had a dabble on Betsson last week and got the jackpot wheel up twice, but to my surprise I didn't hit 11 million as it was then. It's not just one wheel its more like 3 wheels kinda like cracking the mechanism of a safe. I'd imagine the JP might reach 500 million before its cracked lol.

 

[hinchy]

I've been having a dabble too, (well you have to dont you when there's the smallest chance you could be a millionaire. Not done too bad of the free spins either, my £100 has kept me going quite a while, havent managed to get past the second inner wheel yet though but I am low rolling.

Thanks for your info in this thread Mr Andy

Looks like this is something that more casinos have noticed lately. I looked through a promotion from Comeon casino the other day where they gave out free spins on Mega Fortune. They actually did inform in this promotion that players could not win the jackpot with free spins.

Although players can of course win the jackpot by using funds generated from free spins, like the €11.7 million winner

I have realized this with NetEnt freespins earlier, which made me wonder...

1. Why is jackpot amount seen at freespin games? It's a bit of a lie if you ask me, but the main question remains... What if the bonus wheel stops on jackpot symbols?

2. Does NetEnt have three game servers? One for regular games, one for freeplay and one for freespin? If so, the one who handle freespin games do remember your last visits aswell. At Unibet, they gave away freespins on the game Dallas on wednesdays earlier this year and it remembered my collected bonus dollars. I had collected bonus dollars there but they were just seen when I had freespins on the game. Now, I have collected bonus dollars on a game I probably never can reach again...

Ive actually hit the Rapid twice on megafortune and 3 times on Hall of Gods. Biggest win was 11 000 NOK..

I have also hit it a couple of times. One at Nordicbet and one at...think it was Bet24 before they migrated to Unibet. But both of them were much smaller then your biggest win if I remember correctly

Next big Mega Fortune Jackpot winning country
Bets placed after official announcement will be void.

Sweden 11/6
Norway 2/1
Any other 13/5
Finland 6/1


Bettson must have some insight into how much is wagered from each county as the 13/5 any other would seem an insane price



Next big Mega Fortune Jackpot winning gender : Winner

Male 3/13
Female 14/5

Gentlemen are still the major spinners

Now ive tried it a lot of times! Today i didnt get anything at all in it...

But, it would be nice to win though...

Mega Fortune should pass €14 million today... If someone wins it today or tomorrow, it will be a MEGA Merry Christmas for them!

This game is so dull that even with €14 million on the line I still can't bring myself to deposit and play the bloody thing.

I wonder what the actual odds are of hitting the top progressive from a single 50cent spin?

How many tens of millions to one do you reckon? Are we up to one in hundreds of million, even?

The last one was hit by someone using a 10 free spins promotion playing .25c per spin.

I'm going to have a try today. I'm going to have a heart monitor attached and, when it falls to around 40bpm, I'm going to take a 5 min break to watch some grass grow to get it back up.

If I win, it is a $50k freeroll for CM members and a matching amount for CM charities.

I found this information on some jackpot tracker site:

Seeds At €1,000,000
Wins Recorded 10
Average Win €4,644,941
Biggest Win €11,735,446
Smallest Win €1,790,485
Average Time 18 weeks 3 days

Now of course, this is based on only 10 wins, so this is kind of a shot in the dark. But lets assume that the jackpot has an average fallout at €5 million (easy to count with).

Of each bet, 1% goes to the rapid and major jackpots, whilst 5.39% goes into the Mega Jackpot (stated in the help file in the slot).

Now, let's apply some (very) crude math.

For the jackpot to reach €5 million, or to increase €4 million, all the player would have to bet: €4000000/0.0539 = €74 211 502 together (the jackpot resets at €1 million according to the jackpot tracker site, but I think it's also based on the amount that was just paid out). Your shot at hitting the jackpot is therefore 1 in 2*74 million, if you bet €1 per spin and almost 1 in 300 million if you spin €0.50 per spin.

As a comparison, the chances of winning the Euromillions is 1 in 116,531,800 and the tickets cost £2 from the UK National lottery.

Please don't hang me if my math is wrong

It has been confirmed that the progressive jackpots on Mega Fortune can't be won from free spins, so it's a bit of a con of a promotion.

This thing leaves me perplexed. Is it possible to trigger the bonus round but impossible to win the jackpot? So your chances of winning the jackpot are decided according to your bet size after the bonus round gets triggered?

On Mega Moolah it's harder to trigger the bonus round on smaller bets but you have the same chance of winning once triggered. It's infinitely better IMO.
