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

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![]()


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

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.

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

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

Today i didnt get anything at all in it... 

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?![]()

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.

Afaik, the last jackpot was won by somebody playing promotional free spins.
I remember the discussion about whether he would have WR, which was of course waived.
Perhaps you mean the jackpot can't be won during the free spins feature during the game? It still sucks in that case....the bonus symbols should be removed during free spins if it is true.

The Chocolate Wheel in the Bonus feature of this game does not represent a "real", physical wheel and the probabilities of it stopping on any particular spot is determined by the game's random number generator, and not the number of positions on each wheel.
Mega Fortune contains Mega, Major and Rapid Jackpots. The following contributions are made from each bet:
1% of the bet is contributed to the RAPID Jackpot.
1% of the bet is contributed to the MAJOR Jackpot.
5.39% of the bet is contributed to the MEGA Jackpot.
Is a pretty low variance base game with an RTP of 89.21% which is an absolutely horrible payout and that's why they've pegged the base game as low variance, as anything more than that would render it even worse to play in terms of ever getting any half-decent wins.
To be honest Chop, MG managed to do a high variance game (TDK) with a similar base game RTP and similar mega jackpots. I'm pretty sure that most people would agree that TDK is light years ahead of Mega Fortune in terms of entertainment.
IMO, the fact that Mega Fortune is low variance IS the main problem. A well done high variance slot would be a lot more enjoyable, as people would feel like they can win outside of the unlikely event of hitting a progressive jackpot.
A lot of people, including myself, play TDK just for the base game without even having the jackpot in mind. I don't think it's the case with Mega Fortune.
Point taken Balth although I think it says more about the horrors of Mega Fortune that TDK would be preferable to it, than it does about the inherent qualities of TDK (which personally I think is a pretty horrible slot).
There's no reason a high quality low-variance slot can't work with progressives, case in point perhaps would be Alice & The Mad Tea Party at Jackpot Party (where of course there's a forced 3% contribution to progressives on every single slot), which is a low-medium variance slot and works fantastically well as a base game.
Don't forget, even low variance slots do have biggish wins on the paytable in the region of 200-300x stake.

Does any site offer a cashback or any other kind of good promotion related to this game? 10 free spins isnt a good promotion in my books. NB offers weekend cashbacks, but anything else?
Stan James (not accred) are offering a fiver a day when you bet 5 on MF.

Especially 10 free spins when you can't win the jackpot with them.....nordicbet sent some to me and I must say I'm very disappointed, as nowhere in the email do they state that you cannot win the JP on those free spins. NB could easily have just put $2.50 in the account, and at least the player could win the JP.
I didn't expect this kind of thing from NB.
With the vast majority of online slots, within a millisecond of you pressing "spin" the RNG and associated software has decided the outcome of your spin (i.e. the positions the 5 reels will stop at).Are the sequences of Mega Fortune's reels known to the public? I swear there are consecutive wild symbols and scatter symbols, two of each, either on the first or the second reel from the left. Can't remember for sure whether I've ever gotten the consecutive wilds as it's a reasonably common symbol but I'm certain that I've never gotten consecutive scatters (ie. champagnes). The thing with consecutive scatters is, obviously, that it would give at least double your money on given spin with just a single reel. While I just spun 150 rounds (play money) prior to writing this just to capture them in a screen shot I didn't see either case. They might be almost as rare as a unicorn but I'm certain I've seen both of them multiple times.
Now I don't have a tracker that records data on my slot gaming but I'm sure I've spun the reels on MF at least ten thousand times (usually I use autoplay). The implications of this phenomenon? If you don't get a pair of consecutive symbols on your lines during a very large amount of playing rounds, the reels don't stop randomly. The absence randomness implies that the game is rigged and thus not fair (and should be banned etc.). Can anyone else confirm having seen consecutive wild and scatter symbols? There are consecutive bonus symbols, too, at least on the first reel from the left; can't remember if I'm ever gotten them.
With the vast majority of online slots, within a millisecond of you pressing "spin" the RNG and associated software has decided the outcome of your spin (i.e. the positions the 5 reels will stop at).
Then, the client on your computer runs a program which "spins" the reels on your screen with a true representation of the reel-strips.
Just before each reel stops spinning, the software changes the reel-strip to "cut in" the finishing position.
With NetEnt slots the cut-in does not allow any extra symbols, which can sort-of hide the cut in a bit (like on MG slots).
There is no "logic" applied to the cut-in, therefore sometimes the cut-in puts two of the same symbol next to each other, even though they don't physically exist adjacently on the reel strips.
This is why you sometimes see two scatters or bonus symbols next to each other literally just before the reel stops spinning, but you will never see them in your final screen (after all reels have stopped).

I agree with Nifty. Getting free spins on Mega Fortune is a slap in the face and it's as bad, if not worse, than those 1 line 1 cent free spins scams. Shameful.

I agree that casinos should include in the promo text that it is not possible to actually win the Jackpot by using free spins given by the casino.
But I do not think that the player who won €11.7 million on Mega Fortune think it was a slap in the face to get some free Mega Fortune spins as he won the jackpot by using the funds he generated from these few spins![]()

Sure, and you can win 5 cents with those 1 cent 1 line scams and turn it into 10M, too.
The point is, he could have won with the money generated with the free spins from any slot. He won it with "his" money, not the free spins. You know damn well rainmaker that this slot sucks, the only reason to play is to try to win the jackpot and giving away free spins where they can't even win it isn't very, hmm, ethical.
