This 88 Fortunes Megaways slot has all the elements you love about the original, with the added touches of those cascading shifting reels.
WMS take one of their biggest games and adds up to 117469 ways to win, because that what we do now; we add Megaways to everything. Here’s how Megaways slots work.
What you don’t have here, which you do in the first 88 Fortunes slot, is the four in-game jackpots. But that’s ok because you get lots of other things to make up for it, including a huge top win with really big multipliers.
What it has kept is the gorgeous oriental theme, with the lucky twins, the pot of gold and the ability to turn the paytable to gold, if you are willing to pay.
Technically, the minimum bet on this 88 Fortunes Megaways slot machine is a super low 0.08 a spin, which is the lowest we’ve seen on a Megaways game.
The reality is that you have a choice to turn any of the high paying symbol gold. The more of them you turn to gold the better the paytable value amount. And not by a small amount – it’s a significant increase.
And who doesn’t want a richer, more profitable paytable? Especially as this has the classic cascading reels slots feature, where every win will explode and more symbol will come tumbling down onto the 6 reels, or slide sideways onto the 7th reels at the bottom.
What we really liked about this 88 Fortunes Megaways slot game is that, unlike Vikings Unleashed Megaways or Genie Jackpots Megaways, you don’t have to buy the bonus feature to get better odds.
You can trigger the free spins in one of two ways: either you get 4 or more scatters on screen, in which case you get 12 free spins with a starting 1x multiplier.
Or, after collecting lots of wilds on the pot of gold above, it may randomly trigger the 88 Fortune Megaways free spins. Only this time you pick from gold coins to catch anything from 10 to 15 spin with a starting multiplier of 2x to 6x.
And we’ve hit those coins more often than the scatters. Which is great, because starting with a bigger multiplier only means bigger wins, as during the free spins every win increases the multiplier, indefinitely.
This 88 Fortune Megaways slot may have a high minimum bet, but it gives you easier opportunity to catch those multipliers. And isn’t that what we all want from a Megaways game?

Wild: The FuBat symbol is the wild symbol and shows up on reels 2 to 5. They can replace any other symbol on the reels except the scatter, and when one or more Fu Bat lands on the reels, there is a random chance you'll get the picker feature.
Cascading Reels: Every win will explode and more symbols will cascade down from above, giving you another chance at a win. This continued until no more wins are found.
Picker free spin Feature: When you get a Fu Bat wild on the reels, coins are added to the coin pot. Randomly you can trigger a picked feature where you get to pick from 15 coins. Each coin corresponds to a free spin option:
You can retrigger this feature during the free spins but you only get 10, 12 or 15 free spins. The rules are the same as the free spins triggered with scatters below.
Choose Your Gold Symbols: You can choose to turn any of the high paying symbols gold (from 1 to 5). This increases its paytable value.
Scatters and Free Spins: The Gong is the scatter symbol and landing 4 or more on consecutive reels will start the free spins feature. 4, 5 or 6 Gong symbols will trigger 8, 10 or 12 free spins.
You can re-trigger the free spins with just 3, 4, 5 or 6 Gong symbols will re-trigger 8, 10, 12 or 15 additional free spins. You start the free spins with a 1x multiplier.
With every win, the multiplier will increase by 1. This continues to increase with every win.
It's a shame that in order to get the most of this 88 Fortunes Megaways slot on mobile you need to bet 0.88 a spin, making this unaffordable for many.
But if you can afford to turn those symbols gold, this is a brilliant addition to our Megaways slots list which gives you everything you love.
You have cascading reels, two different ways to trigger the free spin bonus, and increasing multipliers that helps push those win on those 117,649 shifting reels.
It doesn't add anything new, but with a familiar theme and a couple of new features, it's worth playing right there with Medusa Megaways slot or the Rainbow Riches Megaways review.
