As always, it is the bonus features that reap the best rewards, so let’s roll them out. With a top theoretical prize at around 10,000x, there is plenty to play for. The Megaways engine has also upped the RTP rate which hovers between 96.06% – 96.27% depending on how many golden symbols are in play. Another obvious fact is that the symbol values are pretty poor, but they get more interesting when the wins cascade together. Odd bet levels but Shuffle Master has managed to make maximum use of the ‘lucky’ number 8 as often as possible.

At the base level you get one golden coin, but up the wager and you get gold versions of the four non-card symbols which are worth from 0.09x to 11x the stake. Players can choose how many come into play from 1 to 5, which affects the cost of each spin. On the other hand, it usually means symbol values are quite low so brace yourself for those.Īt the bottom end of the paytable, we get card symbols 9 –A, bowls, a turtle, a junk boat, and a jade sculpture worth up to 0.6 times your stake for 6 of a kind. On the one hand, this can create some great prizes as they rack up one after the other. This can create more winning combos and the process continues until no more winners land. When a winning combination lands, it clears off the screen and new symbols fall into place. The huge number of win ways are made possible by 6 main reels with up to 7 symbols each, as well as a 1x4 row across the bottom. Megaways possesses an unbelievable amount of win ways (117,649 in fact), and a cascading win system. The most obvious difference is the inclusion of Megaways. More concerning is that Shuffle Master has dropped four of the jackpots, though they have kept most of what made the original great. It has lost a touch of the graphic overload, though nothing to be concerned over. The latest version recreates this vibe to a degree. Indeed, it was easy to squint while playing it and pretend that you were entering a lush Macau casino. The original 88 Fortunes was a veritable feast of jackpots, progressive jackpots, and extra features all dipped in a deep red and gold coating common with this popular theme. This time it has been paired up with an Asian themed slot.
