Theme
As mentioned above, the theme for Mega Fortune Dreams is luxury. Examples of symbols that can show up on the reels are champagne bottles, palm trees, expensive wrist watches, designer bags, drinks, and playing card symbols (10 to A). The card symbols are golden and adorned with diamonds to fit with the theme.
Sticky Wilds with Re-spin
This is one of the features that separates Mega Fortune Dreams from its predecessor Mega Fortune. With Mega Fortune Dreams, you get to enjoy Sticky Wilds with Re-spins. When one or more sticky wilds appear, they will freeze in place while the other spots re-spin, giving you a chance to win again without having to make a new wager.
- The sticky wild in Mega Fortune consists of two palms + the word WILD in gold.
- The sticky wild can appear on any reel.
- The sticky wild can appear in the basic game as well as during the free spin round.
- The sticky wild can substitute for any regular symbol, but not for the scatter symbol (the jewel) or the bonus symbol (the wheel of fortune).
Free Spin Round
The scatter symbol is a blue jewel + the word SCATTER. If you get at least three scatters, anywhere on the reels, the Free Spin Round will start.
At the start of the free spin round, you will have a 3x win multiplier. Each time a new scatter appears, your multiplier is increased by one or two steps OR you get one, two or three additional free spins.
The highest possible multiplier is 10x. (Once you have reached that level, all subsequent scatters will automatically award free spins.)
- The Sticky Wild with Re-Spin is active even during the Free Spin Round.
- It is possible to get to the Bonus Round during the Free Spin Round.
The Bonus Round with three Progressive Jackpots
The progressive jackpots on Mega Fortune Dreams can only be won in the Bonus Round. It is possible to trigger the Bonus Round from the base game (including re-spins) and during the free spin round.
To start the Bonus Round, you need to get at least three bonus symbols anywhere on the reels 3, 4 and 5. The bonus symbols are miniature versions of the spinning wheel of fortune.
As the bonus round starts, a big wheel of fortune (which is actully three wheels in one) will appear on the screen. The outermost wheel will spin, and you can either win coins (up to 240 coins) or proceed to spin the middle wheel.
On the middle wheel, you can win coins (up to 560 coins), the progressive Rapid Jackpot, or proceed to the innermost wheel. There are 24 fields on the middle wheel. Two of them pay out the Rapid Jackpot, four send you to the innermost wheel, and all the other ones pay out coin wins.
On the innermost wheel, you can win coins (up to 6,000 coins) or the progressive Major Jackpot, or be sent into the core where the progressive Mega Jackpot awaits you. There are 12 fields, of which ten pay out coins, one is for the Major Jackpot and one is for sending you to the core to collect the Mega Jackpot.
Your wager size impacts your odds
The larger your wager is when playing Mega Fortune Dreams, the higher your statistical chance of winning one of the three progressive jackpots. Still, it is absolutely possible to win any of them on a minimal wager – the chance is just smaller, not non-existant.
Thus, the fields on the wheels of fortune does not represent true probabilities.
By :Mega Fortune is one of NetEnts hottest progressive jackpot slot games, so it is hardly a surprise that they decided to come up with a sequel. Maybe the real surprise is that it took 5 years for them to release the follow-up Mega Fortune Dreams in July 2014.
Like its predecessor, Mega Fortune Dreams pays out multi-million jackpots on a regular basis. The biggest jackpot to date was paid out in July 2017 when one lucky winner scooped a price of five and a half million euros. The average jackpot from this slot is just shy of €3.5 million so we are talking about life-changing sums of money. The Casino Gorilla always rated the original Mega Fortune as one of the best jackpot games, so he is keen to have a crack at the updated version.

The Lowdown
Like the 2009 original, Mega Fortune Dreams is a 5-reel slot game, and it also boasts a very similar return to player of 96.6% as compared to 96.4%. The newer game has just 20 pay-lines instead of the originals 25, and it is a high variance game whereas the original paid out small amounts on a more regular basis. Bets on Mega Fortune Dreams suit all pockets, as they range from 20c all the way up to €80 per spin.
How to Play
Another carry-over from the classic original slot is the use of luxury goods in the symbols of this game. Mega Fortune Dreams have done an upgrade in terms of the quality of the graphics, but the images are similar. The lower value symbols are some blinged out versions of the traditional playing card 10 to A.
For the higher value symbols we begin with a glass of martini, then a bucket of champagne on ice, next an expensive purse, a designer watch and the top value symbol is a chunky diamond engagement ring, offering 2,000 times your bet amount if five of these appear on a winning line.
The wild symbol in play here is a tropical scene featuring palm trees in front of blue skies. Presumably this is the type of destination that winners of the jackpot will be jetting off to! Wilds can show up in the regular game as well as free spin rounds and can replace any of the regular symbols. If three or more wilds appear at the same time then you will automatically get a free re-spin with the wilds locked in place.
Special Features and Bonus Games
You won’t miss this scatter symbol as it is a very impressive looking diamond that looks like it’s worth a fortune all on its own. If three of these appear anywhere on the screen then you’ve won 10 free spins, with 15 on offer if you find 4 of them and all five diamonds giving you a generous 20 free spins.
Any time another scatter shows up during the free spin round you will find that either the multiplier increases by 1 or 2 or else you will receive 1, 2 or 3 more free spins. You start the free spins round with a x3 multiplier of any wins and this can increase to a maximum of x10. In other words, even without the jackpot you can still win some very sizeable cash prizes from this game.
Mega Fortune Dreams Jackpot
Drum roll please, as it’s time to check out the jackpot game. That’s why we’re all playing progressive jackpot slot games after all, isn’t it? As we have seen above, the jackpots on offer are pretty special here, and there’s more than one jackpot to try and win. You enter the jackpot game if you find three (or more) Bonus ‘wheel of fortune’ symbols on reels 3, 4 and 5 during the base game or free spins round.
Now you get to play to (hopefully) win one of the three available jackpots: the Rapid, Major or Mega jackpot. You will be taken to a new screen with a giant wheel of fortune, made up of three interlocking wheels with the crown jewel of the Mega Jackpot in the centre. Start with the outside wheel, which spins to end up either with a small cash amount or an arrow pointing towards the centre. If you get an arrow you move to the next wheel, where you have fewer arrows as well as higher cash amounts and two Rapid Jackpot squares.
Get another arrow to progress to the inner wheel, with large cash prizes, one chance of winning the Major Jackpot and just one more arrow. If the stars are shining on you then you will land on that final arrow to claim the Mega Jackpot for yourself.
Gaming Experience
The graphics and animations on display on the Mega Fortune Dreams slot are a definite step up from the original game from NetEnt. Those luxurious symbols keep you dreaming of that big win, and the chilled-out music adds a relaxing vibe.
Although winning the multi-million jackpot Mega prize is always going to be a long shot, there is plenty more to keep you spinning those reels. The free spins game is definitely worth entering, as those multipliers can really ramp up the profits. All in all, while the Casino Gorilla remains a fan of the original, this new version is a very worthy successor.

Mega Fortune Dreams Slot Review
One of the highest paying jackpot games I ply. It has a nice relaxing theme and the symbols are pretty. 20 paylines makes it affordable and it still pays out even without hitting a jackpot.
My winnings with Mega Fortune Dreams were low compared to other jackpot games. Nothing negative on the actual gameplay however, everything runs and plays smooth.
A sequel of the epic Mega Fortune. The reason behind Mega Fortune’s success is the progressive jackpots. The biggest jackpot hit till date is over five million euros. I, like most other people, keep trying to win some for myself.
I have always wanted to win a jackpot on a slot game, but haven’t had any luck. Mega Fortune Dreams is a great game that also offers some nice base payouts. The game is fun to play and I have liked the payouts that are offered. The bonus wheel is kind of weird for a bonus round, but I have won with this as well. Nothing major here, but a good slot if you want the chance to hit a progressive jackpot.
