Gameplay & Features
The scenery couldn't be more different, but features-wise, 1 Million Fortunes Megaways has the same gadgets and gizmos as those found in1 Million Megaways BC. These are cascades, free spins with a Pillar Reel, locking reels, sticky wilds, and progressive multipliers.
• Cascades and Multipliers
•
A classic Megaways extra, the cascade mechanicremoves winning symbolsfrom the reels and replaces them with new symbols. If the new symbols link into a new win, another cascade triggers. This will keep happening until no new win hits. After a winning cascade has occurred in the base game, the win multiplier increases by +2 and is limited to x8 in the base game. Base game multipliers reset between spins.
• Free Spins

If more than 4 consecutive cascades occur, each extra cascade awards +2 free spins, up to 14. When free spins are active, thereels split, and a newPillar Reelappears in the middle, holdingup to 9 symbols. Now, when the reels are filled with symbols,1,058,841 ways to winare provided. One of Iron Dog's signature moves is that when normal reels display 7 symbols or 9 on the Pillar Reel in free spins, theylockat this size for the rest of the feature. Regular locked reels add+1 free spinwhile locking the Pillar Reel awards+5 free spins. Free spins also benefit from a progressivewin multiplier, starting at x1 and increasing by +1 following winning cascades or when a reel is locked at its full height. This multiplier does not reset between free spins. Lastly, whenever awildlands on the Pillar Wild, it turns sticky and sits at the bottom of the reel until the feature ends. Technically it is possible to stack 9 sticky wilds on the Pillar Reel in this manner.

Final Thoughts
If you've played1 Million Megaways BCbefore, you'll see little has changed in the way of gameplay or stats. For fans of Asian-themed games, this is fairly positive news since there is stuff going on here that is unique for Megaways. At the time1 Million Megaways BCwas released, there was no telling where Iron Dog was going to go next. Later came clones and concepts likeBranded Megawaysand the fecund imagination shown in the prehistoric slot cooled somewhat, solidifying into to a type of private ice age, rather than melting to keep the creative juices pouring forth in quite the same way.
It's a bit of a stretch to use the word 'imagination' in the same sentence as 1 Million Fortunes Megaways. It's a by-the-book clone job that uses bog-standard graphics to ensure entry into the Asian gaming category. Players into the look with Megaways powering the action should be okay with the outcome. For the rest, well, it's unlikely to be a game that is going to convince many others to sign up. Like its predecessor, winning potential is a high point, though, weighing in at45,000x the bet, reflecting what the extra Pillar Reel and stack of extra ways bring to the table.
1 Million Fortunes Megaways is a successful port for what it is, bringing what was ancient into a more modern setting. All the bits work okay, and the features included here aren't available in many other Megaways games, so there is a desirability factor, provided you're partial to the Asian stylings 1 Million Fortunes Megaways is embedded in.
