If you know a bit about online slot games, the words Mega Moolah should mean something to you. This is one of the biggest and best progressive jackpot games online. It is far simpler in graphics than many other modern slots, but it has four progressive prizes, the largest of which can reach seven figures.
You might also recognize the word Fortunium. This is the title of another Microgaming slot game, released far more recently than Mega Moolah.
So, has Microgaming combined the two to create Fortunium Gold Mega Moolah? Let’s find out more about it here.
It is recognized as an updated version of Fortunium
Yes, it looks that way. However, it takes on the best bit of the Mega Moolah slot – namely those four progressive jackpots. You’ll spot the Mega Moolah logo identifying those prizes to the left of the set of reels involved in the new game.
A lower RTP is applied
This may not surprise you because of the jackpots involved in the game. A little over 5% of the pot goes towards those prizes. The RTP if you take out those jackpots is 92.67%. Since the odds of winning one of those are long, you’ve got to consider how those odds reflect the rest of the game.
The steampunk theme is back
If you played the original version of Fortunium, you’ll know it focused on a steampunk theme. We’ve spotted a few slots using this theme of late, but this is one of the best.
Look out for Mystery Symbols
There are two versions appearing in yellow and green. The game has various betting options to choose from, one of which is a Win Booster element. If you activate this (it costs more than the standard bet), it increases your chances of triggering features within the game.
It also means you might spot both types of Mystery Symbols, hence why we mentioned it here. The green ones have the power to turn into standard symbols whenever they appear. However, the yellow ones transform into wilds.
There are two wilds though – regular ones and jackpot ones. These unlock the Jackpot Wheel, and as you might guess, this is where the major jackpots can be won.
Scatters reveal the free spins
Find three, four, or five of these and you’ll earn 10 free games. The scatter quantity determines whether you get one, two, or three reels filled with those Mystery Symbols we mentioned earlier.
We like the look of this new slot game. It packs plenty in and while the extra bet won’t suit everyone, it proves a good mix of two popular slots with the onus on Fortunium. If you liked that, check this one out too.
