iSoftBet’s fourth Megaways title of 2020 is set in a bustling market, with sought-after wares skirting the six-reel slot, offering players the potential to land huge cash prizes.

Fu Fortunes Megaways boasts up to 46,656 ways to win, with cascading wins and random multipliers as well as two exciting bonus features.

In both the base game and Free Spins, the Wilds can trigger the Fu Fortune pots, awarding win multipliers or the Jackpot Bonus. When the middle pot opens, players must match three icons to win one of the Fu Fortunes Jackpots – Mini, Minor, Major or Grand – with rewards of up to 1,000x bet.

Meanwhile, if four or more Jade Scatter symbols land on any spin, the Free Spins mode is triggered, where only high-paying symbols and Wilds remain on the reels, with mammoth wins possible.

Mark Claxton, Head of Games at iSoftBet, said: “Fu Fortunes Megaways is another wondrous slot adventure, set in the hustle and bustle of a Chinese market as players look to unearth valuable wins.
