THE DETAILS
Within the game, all four Megapays Jackpots are progressive, which means every time a bet is made a portion of the bet is added to each Jackpot. Any of the Megapays Jackpots can be won during a Megapays feature.
Harnessing the “edge-of-the-seat drama” of the quiz show, aside from the Jackpot system, the slot comes with a free spins mode, unlimited retriggers and up to 117,649 ways to win.
The title incorporates a Reaction mechanic in which, once wins are achieved, the winning symbols are removed from the reels and replaced with new symbols which fall into the unoccupied space.
Moreover, if the player lands three Millionaire scatters they are awarded eight free spins and the Hot Seat free spins gamble commences. During this mode, players select either A, B, C, or D – similar to the show’s answer layout – and select ‘Final Answer’.
If the correct answer is selected, players advance up the prize ladder. An incorrect choice can drop players down and even end the round prematurely.
Similar to the show, players get three lifelines – Phone a Friend, 50-50 or Ask the Audience. Additionally, the free spins round can offer a win multiplier starting from x1 and increases by one for every reaction.
Moreover, the Megapays feature traces its roots back to an earlier collaboration with Relax Gaming, with the partnership ensuring the title takes advantage of the aggregator’s speed-to-market and integration framework.
WHAT THEY SAY
BTG Gaming CEO, Nik Robinson, said: “Big Time Gaming has the world-wide exclusive rights to Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
“Dovetailing the brand with Megapays will allow players to win truly life changing sums, with Bonanza, Millionaire and many other games planned, Megapays is set to become the number one Jackpot choice for all players!”
Simon Hammon, chief product officer at Relax Gaming, explained: “Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megaways was a hugely popular game in all our markets and the new Megapays revamp adds the kind of dizzying win potential that’s even more in keeping with the original show.
“We’re pretty sure this game will be even bigger – after all, everyone dreams of sitting in that hot seat.”
