Divine Fortune Megaways

In 2017 NetEnt released their new jackpot slot Divine Fortune. Packed with features and with an outstanding design, it quickly became a well-played slot. Actually, it got so popular NetEnt decided to do a re-release of this mythical slot – now upgraded with the megaways feature.

In this review, we’re gonna take a closer look at Divine Fortune Megaways. We will compare the differences between the original Divine Fortune slot and the new megaways version, give you available casino bonuses for the game, and give you the statistics from our 100 spin test run.

How does Divine Fortune Megaways work?

The highlight of Divine Fortune Megaways is, of course, the possibility to give you a huge amount of pay-lines. The original slot had 20 – and its remake has a top of 117 649 pay-lines.

However, the number of betways vary for each spin that you do.

This is possible thanks to the dynamic playground, which has six reels with the possibility of a maximum of seven symbols per reel. The number of symbols changes on each spin’s reels, and the more symbols you land, the more pay-lines you get. The least number of pay-lines you can get is 64.

The original slot had a jackpot win – this megaways version does not have one. However, you still get some decent winnings if you hit the game’s top win since the maximum win of Divine Fortune Megaways is at 25 000 x your stake.

The betting range stretches from 0.1 – 100 – a good range for a megaways slot. The coin value within the game reaches from 0.01 – 1.

Bonus Features

When mentioning the bonus features, some players will see it as a downside that NetEnt decided to let go of the progressive jackpot in this new version of Divine Fortune.

However, that is compensated for because it is easier to win in this new game, which can be stated by its almost doubled hit frequency.

The bonus features are actually one of the things that separate the two games quite a lot from each other since they differ slightly in their performance. Divine Fortune Megaways has multiple bonus features to offer, and we will present them all to you below.

Falling Wilds Re-Spins

Those of you who have played a megaways slot before will probably expect an avalanche function every time you win. In this game, NetEnt has decided to remove that feature.

But before you get too upset about that – don’t worry – they have replaced it with a re-spin feature. This gives you a new re-spin for every Wild you land during the base game. The Wild will then fall one step each re-spin until it disappears from the table. When gone, the game goes back to normal again.

Wild on Wild Feature

The Wild on Wild Feature is triggered when you during the base game land a wild on top of a falling wild. This turns the entire reel into a gigantic wild, and it also re-triggers the Falling Wild Feature.

During free spins, the Wild on Wild Feature is triggered automatically every time you land a wild.

Free Spins

To trigger the free spins feature in Divine Fortune Megaways, you have to land 4 scatter (the hand holding a bolt of lightning) during the same spin. They can be scattered all over the table, so there is no need to land them in a certain order.

4, 5 or 6 free spins symbols, gives you 10, 15 or 20 free spins respectively.

Each extra scatter that lands during a free spins session awards you +5 extra free spins.

Also, Wilds get upgraded during free spins, meaning every wild that lands during free spins immediately triggers the Wild on Wild Feature.

During free spins, you can collect coins in a meter placed above the reels. There are golden, silver and bronze coins, and each has its own meter. When filled, you will get a bonus, giving you 500x (gold), 25x (silver) or 10x (bronze) your stake.

Megaways

Megaways means that the game has the possibility of a huge number of betways.

This is possible since the number of symbols on the reels never is consistent, meaning you will get a different number of both symbols and betways each spin.

In this game, you will get between 64 – 117 649 paylines each spin, which of course creates a lot of new winning combinations. For example, you do not have to get the symbols in a line to win in a megaways slot. Instead, they usually do need to land on two connecting reels.

Tips for playing Divine Fortune Megaways

As for all casino games, what decides if you win or lose is just chance. All winnings are randomized, meaning they can fall out at any minute, or wait in eternity.

There are, however, some things that you can keep in mind for optimising your bankroll against Divine Fortune Megaways.

Take the volatility and RTP into consideration

Even though this version has a lower volatility than its prequel, it is still quite high.

As you can see on our 100 spins test round, you can spin for quite a while before any great winnings occur. Therefore we recommend you to play this game with a low stake.

The symbols in this slot have quite generous payouts, meaning you still can get decent wins even if you bet with a lower stake. And since you can spin a lot before any winnings occur, the game can quickly eat your entire bankroll if you bet large.

Play the game for free

We also do recommend that you first play the slot for free with the demo. You can compare your data with our test run to understand better what to expect from the game. When playing the demo, you understand how to play the game, which can be valuable for you when later playing for real money.

Our Recommendations

When playing on casinos, it is always important that you never play for any money that you can not afford to lose. Before playing, it is wise to set up a playing budget, and then stick to your budget, regardless of what. If losing, you should not continue playing only to get back what you lost. There is a reason why casinos all over the world are making a fortune.

Casino Bonus for Divine Fortune Megaways

If you want to play Divine Fortune Megaways without investing a lot of money in the game, you can always check for a casino that offers a bonus for the specific game.

The theme & design

The theme in Divine Fortune Megaways is ancient Greece and its myths, and we must willingly admit that NetEnt has done a great job staying true to the theme in its layout of the game.

It is not the most spectacularly designed slot the developer has given us, but it is definitely well done, and the premium symbols are very realistic and detailed. The only symbol we have some issues with is the wild. We love its function, but it feels a bit like they put a huge amount of effort into designing the other premium symbols, and when they got started on the wild, the boss called it the weekend and the symbol got finished in a hurry. It is well done – but not as well done as the others (in our opinion).

The color of the slot is very pleasant for the eyes, and the milkish faded yellow color scheme fits the theme perfectly.

The user experience is good, and the nice audio of the slot enhances the positive feeling.

All in all, it is a well done slot that aesthetically lands somewhere in the middle in comparison to other NetEnt slots.

Audio

The audio of the slot is actually really nice. It is quite subtle, and not annoying at all – which the audio of many slots have a tendency to be.

We recommend that you play the slot with sound on, because it adds an extra dimension to the players experience.

Pros with Divine Fortune Megaways

• The Falling Wild Feature triggers quite often
• It is true to the prequel, but is still its own game
• The audio is not annoying at all
• It has a quite high maximum win at x 25 000

Cons with Divine Fortune Megaways

• No avalanches when winning

Our results from 100 Spins

We have done a 100 spins test round of the slot, to give you a better idea of how many times you might see a certain symbol on your playthrough. Of course, everything in the game is randomized, which means if you play a hundred rounds, you will most likely get a different result from ours – for better or for worse.

• Start Balance: 5,000€
• Stake: 1€

Final Verdict

When doing a remake of a popular slot, the expectations from the players are often very high. And for a good reason – there is like Christmas realizing your favourite slot will get improved and re-released.

Unfortunately, some re-releases don’t work very well, but this one bails out OK.

Of course, many players are disappointed that the impressive jackpot is gone. But think about this – how many of the players do actually win that jackpot?

In return for removing that jackpot, the players got a hit frequency that was almost doubled, and if it is something we do like with slots, it is the winnings.

Since the original slot was quite recently released (2017), the graphics didn’t need an update for the re-release.

To offer something more than just a copy with no jackpot and megaways instead, NetEnt had to do some other game changes – mostly in the bonus features.

We really enjoy the Falling Wild Feature, which triggers quite often. There is a huge disappointment that the developer chose to remove the avalanches though. Those are the best part of a megaways slot in our opinion.

Even though the game’s volatility has decreased from the original game, it is still an 8 out of 10, meaning most features often will be long before triggered. That might deter some players, but it also means an exceptional feeling of joy when the features are finally triggered.

In comparison to its prequel, we guess that it will be about 50/50 between the players who prefer the original and which ones prefer the megaways version.
