Stakelogic reinvents vintage slot thrills with Mega Fortune’s Hold ’n’ Win twist
From fruit to wealth, traditional slot icons reappear alongside Coin collections and bonus elements.
Stakelogic has broadened its slot collection with the launch of Mega Fortune, a Hold ’n’ Win game that embraces traditional slot design while incorporating bonus features to maintain the momentum from one spin to the next.
Set on a traditional 5×4 grid featuring 20 paylines, Mega Fortune combines fruit, BARs, and sevens symbols with Gold and Silver Coins that are central to the game’s winning possibilities. The game has an RTP of as high as 96.03% and a top multiplier of x1,000.
Coin symbols enhance the primary experience, showcasing fixed values of up to 25 times the total wager and replacing each other to assist in forming winning combinations. The Hold ’n’ Win Bonus activates when five or more Coins appear anywhere on the reels during a single spin. In the feature, Coin symbols become固定不变, enabling wins to accumulate as more Coin values are gathered and summed to the total.
Aside from the bonus round, the game features the Sevens Sweep mechanic, in which a Red 7 Chest symbol can gather visible Coin values from the reels, generating chances for quicker win accumulation and maintaining excitement even when not in the Hold ’n’ Win feature.
For those wanting to speed up the gameplay, Mega Fortune features a Buy Bonus option, granting instant access to the Hold ’n’ Win feature, along with Super Stake
, which increases the likelihood of activating Free Spins for half of the wager.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Mega Fortune is a game that players who appreciate our classic slot catalogue will enjoy and we have enough new gameplay features involved to keep the game rewarding. The core mechanics, multipliers and collection lock in with the Hold n Win bonus and make this game a winner for both old and new players.”
