Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megapays Review

Big Time Gaming has already transformed their most iconic Megaways title into the progressive network jackpot version, Bonanza Megapays, and with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megapays they’ve done the same for the branded game show saga. It plays out pretty much like the original Megaways version, but with the randomly triggered jackpot game bolted on.

The gameplay is smooth, with a solid audiovisual presentation, but keep in mind that a whopping 9.44 % of the 96.38 % RTP is allocated to the 4 progressive jackpots. The potential has been upped from 50,000x to a very solid 72,310x your stake in this version, and gambling for extra free spins in the pre bonus round feature can be a nerve-racking affair. Fans of the game show will probably enjoy the authentic vibe, but there is no point in choosing this version if you’re not chasing the jackpots.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megapays Features

The rainbow-colored wild can appear on the bottom sliding reel only, and it steps in for all regular pay symbols to help you form winning combos. The sparkling diamond symbol is worth 50x your stake for 6-oak, while the 3 gemstones pay 2x to 7.5x for the same.

You trigger the Reaction feature on every win, and this removes all winning symbols from the reels. New or existing symbols will then drop down to fill the gaps, and this process goes on indefinitely until you land no new winning combinations.

You trigger the Bonus Round when 3 game logo scatters land anywhere in view, and the Hot Seat Free Spins Gamble pre-feature is up first. Landing more than 3 scatters gives you a better starting point, and you’ll select different answers to climb the free spins ladder.

If you pick the wrong answer you’re moved down one rung, and it’s possible to lose the whole feature in this Gamble game that awards 50 free spins at the most.

Just like in the real game show, you get 3 lifelines for support (randomly assigned per round). You can “Phone a Friend” to get the most likely answer highlighted, and 50-50 removes 2 incorrect answers. Ask the Audience reveals the odds of each answer, and you can always collect whatever free spins amount you’ve got by hitting the ‘Walk Away’ button.

The bonus round comes with a progressive win multiplier that starts at x1, and it increases by +1 per Reaction Win with no upper limit. You can land scatters on the bottom sliding reel only, and you win +4 or +8 extra spins when you slide in 3 or 4 scatters, respectively. The Megapays jackpot feature can trigger at any time during the base game, and you’ll see one pay symbol randomly selected to become the Megapays symbol.

A 6x7 reel set will then spin, and the Megapays symbol is collected whenever it appears. The feature ends when you don’t land the Megapays symbol, and the number of collected symbols determine which jackpot you win as follows:

• 4-7 Megapays symbols award the Mini jackpot (starts at €100).
• 8-11 Megapays symbols award the Midi jackpot (starts at €1,500).
• 12-14 Megapays symbols award the Major jackpot (starts at €20,000).
• 15+ Megapays symbols award the Mega jackpot (starts at €300,000).

The 200 Spins Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megapays Experience

We land some smaller wins here and there in the base game, and the bonus round starts at 1:30 into the 4 and a half minute highlights video. We got 8 free spins, but we decided to enter the Hot Seat to gamble for more. We managed to get 12 free spins in the end, and you can see for yourself how we fared by hitting the play button below.

Review Summary

As clever as the whole Hot Seat free spins gamble feature is, mirroring the actual game show as it does, it’s still quite risky. If you get the first answer wrong, the whole bonus round is lost. That can be really frustrating, and getting to the top-tier 50 free spins rung is very difficult. Keep in mind also, that you cannot trigger the Jackpot feature from within the bonus round.

The bonus round itself is pretty standard stuff, but the unlimited progressive win multiplier can dish out payouts up to an eye-popping 72,310x your stake. This is very solid, even for a Megaways game, and the base game comes with a very decent 14,600x potential.

The jackpots may not be on the level of the Mega Moolah network, but you get a better RTP in Big Time Gaming’s Megapays series.

Pros

• Reaction wins and sliding reel wilds
• Hot Seat Free Spins Gamble
• FS w/ unlimited progressive multiplier
• 4 progressive jackpots
• Win up to 72,310x your stake

Cons

• 86.94% RTP excluding the jackpots
