Presentation

The setting of the Mega Vault Millionaire slot is a bank vault, with laser beam security protecting the contents within. The reels are superimposed over this scene and at the top of the reels, each of the four Mega Moolah jackpots are shown from left to right, Mega, Major, Minor and Mini.

The main controls of the slot are at the foot of the reel and they are somewhat simple to follow. There's no messing about with selecting lines or not on this slot, it is 25 pay lines on each spin, so spins start at 0.25 but can be increased up to 6.25 per spin, which is the same set up as you get on the original Mega Moolah slot.

The soundtrack of the slot is a rather funky tune which is rather good and very different to the sounds you get in any of the other Mega Moolah jackpot slot games. The symbols on the reels are also nicely designed too. Overall, the Mega Vault Millionaire slot looks and sounds fantastic.

What is on the reels?

There are two sets of main symbols on the reels. The lower value symbols are the playing card symbols from the 10 through to the Ace. Wins on these symbols range from a small fraction of your bet (1/20^th) up to 6x your bet if you can land five of the aces across the reels.

Alongside these lower value symbols are five higher value symbols and these are all items that you would put inside a bank vault to keep secure and they include piles of money, an expensive watch, a priceless painting, gold bars and a sapphire necklace. The last two symbols offer small value pays for just 2 symbols on a reel but you can win up to 30x your bet if you land five of the highest value symbol (the sapphire necklace) on the reels.

Alongside these two symbols are the two main bonus symbols on the slot, the Wild is a jewellery box and the Faberge Egg is the Scatter.

Wild features

The Jewellery Box Wild symbol serves two purposes in the game, firstly, it can be used as a standard symbol to offer a payout of between 0.6x and 600x your bet if you land from two up to the maximum five of these symbols across one of the pay lines.

However, the Wild is used more frequently as a substitute symbol which can replace any of the high or low value symbols outlined above to create a winning line. In addition, you will receive a 2x multiplier on any win completed with a Wild. These wins do happen very often in the game and are part of the reasons that you land a high number of wins in the base game, although not many of them are particularly high value.

The Wild symbol can be landed anywhere across the reels too, which means when you land multiple Wilds in your base game or Free Spins round, then you can land some of the better value wins available on the slot.

Free Spins features

The Faberge Egg is the Scatter symbol and when you land two or more of these symbols you will land a prize of 2x, 3x, 20x or 100x your total bet, depending on whether you land 2, 3, 4 or 5 of the symbols on the reels.

Three or more of the symbols will also trigger the Free Spins bonus round. In this bonus round, regardless of how many Scatters you triggered it with, you receive 15 Free Spins. Every win in the Free Spins bonus round is subject to a 3x multiplier toom, which is why you tend to earn your biggest wins in the bonus section of the game.

The great thing is that you can re-trigger Free Spins from within the bonus game, and each time you do you will receive another 15 Free Spins. Pleasingly too, the Free Spins bonus game isn't as difficult to hit as it is in some other Microgaming slots, and usually if you play a session you should trigger the bonus at least once. However, the pay outs you can receive in this round can vary quite sharply.

Best feature of the Mega Vault Millionaire slot

Without doubt though the best feature of the Mega Vault Millionaire slot is the fact that it is linked to the famous Mega Moolah progressive jackpot prize. This means that you can win any of the four Mega Moolah progressive jackpot prizes on any spin, if you can trigger the Jackpot Bonus Game, which is triggerable on any spin on the slot entirely at random.

This new Bonus Game is different to the standard Mega Moolah Jackpot Bonus game. In this new game you spin up to three wheels. The first reel has sectors that offer a key (which moves you onto the next wheel) or the Mini jackpot prize. Land the key and you move onto the second Wheel, which offers sectors for the Minor jackpot prize and fewer key sectors. Land on a key and you move onto third and final wheel.

This third wheel is where the big money can be won as the main sector on the wheel will see you win the Major jackpot, however there is one small sector which if you can land in, will see you land the Mega jackpot prize of over a million guaranteed.

You do require patience to trigger the jackpot bonus game and it may not happen for several sessions, but the excitement having such a huge jackpot to play for really makes a huge difference to the game.
