88 Fortunes Megaways Slot

A team known as Shuffle Master are the developers behind 88 Fortunes Megaways, a slot game released in October 2019 that leans heavily into Asian cultures and imagery for its theme. This title actually follows up on the original 88 Fortunes slot that was already a popular entrant in its genre; however, this title completely transforms base gameplay due to the Megaways mechanic, all whilst retaining the original qualities that established this series in the first place.

88 Fortunes Megaways Game Background

With it being one of the many Megaways slots out there, it should come as no surprise that the playgrid in 88 Fortunes Megaways is fully dynamic, changing with every spin. One thing that remains fixed in regards to this, though, is the number of reels, with there being 6 of these that are unmoving. However, when it comes to the number of rows, this certainly isn't the case, with each reel being able to display anywhere from 2-7 symbols, with there even being an extra row attached to the bottom of play that is aligned to the central 4 playtable segments. Due to this overhauled layout, there could be up to 117,649 unique paylines, a count that is indicated by a box to the right of play.

Above the red-tinted playgrid in 88 Fortunes Megaways, there is a gold coin-filled pot. An intricate golden frame also surrounds the reels here, contrasting the backdrop in this game, which boasts a predominantly red colour palette. A number of classical Asian patterns can be seen across this, and when coupled with the traditional soundtrack that can be heard throughout play, the aesthetic really embodies its Asian influences fully.

88 Fortunes Megaways Slot Symbols

Common with most games today, the 88 Fortunes Megaways features some card symbols inspired by live casino table games. With their golden trims and brightly designed fonts, though, these manage to fit the theme in this title. When it comes to the higher valued symbols though, these are much more aligned with the rest of the Asian style imagery in this release, with these also making a return from the initial series instalment.

Lower Value Symbols:

• 9

• 10

• Jack (J)

• Queen (Q)

• King (K)

• Ace (A)

Medium Value Symbols:

• White Pottery

• Tortoise

Higher Value Symbols:

• Red Sailing Boat

• Green Winged Pendant

The 88 Fortunes Megaways slot also features a Fu Bat symbol, with this bonus inclusion actually being multifaceted. Not only is this the wild in this title, but it could also act as a scatter of sorts, something that will be covered in more detail very shortly.

88 Fortunes Megaways Bonus Features

As is the standard for most UK online slots currently within the online casino world, the 88 Fortunes Megaways slot features a wild represented by a Fu Bat. If landed on the red coloured reels, this could take the place of both the card and Asian style base game symbols due to its having substituting abilities.

If one of these Fu Bat symbols lands on every reel in the same spin, however, this could trigger a pick 'em style game in this 88 Fortunes Megaways slot. During this, 12 different gold coins are presented on a different playgrid, with 3 different boxes being positioned beneath this. Each of these has a different coloured character, free spin count and accompanying multiplier, and when selecting from these golden coins, whichever character is revealed 3 times first could see their displayed values be used for a subsequent free spin round.

One of the things we have yet to mention is that the 88 Fortunes Megaways slot features a cascading mechanic. This could potentially remove symbols from play if they are part of a combination, allowing new ones to cascade down from above. During the free spins round, every time this feature may trigger, a multiplier could increase by 1x, with this creative modifier also being used in Western Gold Megaways Hold & Win too.

Considering the original title in the franchise was already a popular one, the 88 Fortunes Megaways sequel has managed to build even further on top of the refined elements of its predecessor, capturing the same popular theme whilst also transforming the gameplay blueprint completely.

The 88 Fortunes Megaways slot is just one example of a fan favourite release in the Asian genre, too, with the Floating Dragon slot and Immortal Ways 88 Charms also falling within this same category.
