Millionaire Megaways Slot Theme, Stakes, Pays & Symbols
The theme of this slot needs little introduction, as Who Wants to be a Millionaire is one of the most successful TV quiz shows to ever air. The backdrop to the slot is of course the game studio which includes the famous chair, where it’s safe to say you’ll be sat biting your nails as you try and potentially win a life changing amount of money.
Heading over to the paytable on Millionaire Megaways™ we can see that the lower value symbols are made up of the royal cards 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A. The premium paying symbols come in the form of a green gem, blue gem, red gem, and diamond, with a 6 of a kind win paying 2x, 2x, 7.5x, and 50x respectively.
Positioning yourself in the hot seat and getting those reels spinning can cost from as little as €0.20, whilst the maximum stake to play reaches up to €20. You’ll also find a healthy RTP of 96.24% attached to WWTBA Megaways™, which comes in slightly above the average RTP seen across the Megaways™ niche as a whole.
Base Game & Modifiers
Who wants to be a Millionaire Megaways™ features the extremely popular cascading reels mechanic. For those of you who might by new to a slot like this, whenever you get a winning combination on the reels the winning symbols will be replaced by new symbols and give you further opportunities to win.
Multiple cascades can take place and if you have a high number of Megaways™ in play it can lead to some huge base game hits. Players should also keep an eye out for triggering the feature through a reel cascade, this is one of the most common ways you will trigger the feature on Millionaire Megaways™.
Millionaire Megaways Lifelines
To trigger the feature on Millionaire Megaways™ you need 3 or more of the millionaire symbols to land anywhere in view. If you get a basic trigger of 3 symbols you will be awarded 8 free spins, for every other symbol you have in view you will move 1 position up the free spins ladder.
Big Time Gaming introduced the option to be able to gamble your free spins on their slot Extra Chilli, and players are once again given this opportunity in Millionaire Megaways™.
So for a basic trigger you will start at 8 free spins, the game will then randomly select one of the 3 lifeline options that you get in the tv gameshow. They are of course ask the audience, phone a friend, and 50/50.
You don’t have to gamble, and just like the gameshow you can choose to walk away with your 8 free spins and start the bonus round, or you can try your luck and see how far you can get.
Players should note that the 10 free spins and the 20 free spins mark are both safety points, so if you do choose to gamble and reach either of these positions then you may as well carry on, as you cant drop down any further than those amounts.
Let’s take a look at the lifelines and how they work.
Ask The Audience
If you’re randomly awarded ask the audience as your lifeline then you will be presented with a percentage chart that shows an amount for each answer. Sometimes these are a lot closer and you can have two or more answers around the same percentage mark.
Phone A Friend Lifeline
The phone a friend lifeline will give you one answer with a percentage mark next to it. So it’s up to you if you think that the amount is high enough to go with the decision. In the above picture the answer given was wrong.
50/50 Lifeline
If you’re given the 50/50 lifeline then two of the wrong answers will be removed and you will be left with a 50/50 choice of which letter to pick.
Millionaire Megaways Slot Free Spins Feature
Once the excitement of the millionaire free spin gamble is over the feature will then begin. As with other slots a la Diamond Mine, and Buffalo Rising, you need to get as many winning cascades as possible. Every time you achieve one of these winning reactions then your win multiplier will increase by x1.
If you have a good run then this can of course reach a very high multiplying amount, and with a bit of luck you could be hitting a massive multiple of your stake. The free spins can be re-triggered during the feature by the millionaire symbols rolling in on the lower reel. This is the only place that these symbols can be found during the free spins. 3 millionaire symbols will award you 4 extra free spins, and 4 symbols will award you 8 extra free spins.
Players should note that unlike Bonanza & Extra Chill, Millionaire Megaways™ does like to drop in the full 117,649 ways to win during the feature, so with a big multiplier this could be huge!
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways Slot Review Final Thoughts
Being the creator of the megaways™ mechanic it’s always exciting to see a new slot released featuring this unique payline system from Big Time Gaming. Millionaire Megaways™ is an interesting slot and the gamble feature is certainly something very different. It does seem like it could be very difficult to reach the top and achieve the 50 free spins, and you most certainly need nerves of steel to keep risking it the further up the ladder you get.
The best strategy I think when getting the percentage based answers is to just go with the highest amount, or favoured answer. You do have to be prepared for these to be wrong though, on several occasions we’ve had answers over 70% turn out to be wrong.
Are the answers luck or predetermined?
As a test, on the last feature I got I picked the lowest percent on ask the audience which was 1% whilst the highest was over 70%. I was wrong and the answer was indeed the highest of 70%, it could be argued that it was still predetermined and had I picked the 70% it could have then shown a different answer.
