Review
Step into a glamorous and fast-paced live casino universe on Mega Ball by Evolution Gaming. Combining a lottery-style draw with bingo card-style betting, the volatile live dealer game will draw 20 balls in each round and potentially add a multiplier of up to x100 to your winnings, leading up to a maximum of €500,000.
Game Details
Mega Ball is played using 1 to 200 bingo-style cards with random numbers on a 5×5 grid, purchased during a betting window before each round starts. A ball-drawing machine randomly selects numbered balls for release into the tube. If numbers drawn match any on the cards they tick off automatically with a maximum of 12 winning lines possible. A final Mega Ball can add a multiplier to the win should the number complete a line.
Betting starts at 0.10 credits through to 100 credits per card and you can buy just one card or a mix of 1, 10, 25 or 100, up to the maximum of 200 cards. All are played in a single betting round so, a pack of ten cards means you will have ten cards in play at once in the upcoming game round. Available on desktop, laptop or mobile, Evolution Gaming also offers First Person Mega Ball, a virtual game version for those who wish to play alone without the live experience. Mega Ball is highly volatile and has an RTP between 95.05% and 95.4%, based on a single card.
The Mega Ball studio appear in gold glitter and blazing green with the presenters dressed in a similar fashion. Colours change to shades of blue and purple when the equally-dazzling multiplier reel spins into play, adding to the game show-style theme. The hosts add entertainment and commentary throughout the show, announcing the multiplier, the Mega Ball number, congratulating winners, and sharing in their success.
A transparent interface overlays the show, displaying your cards and lighting up lines when completed. Camera angles change and focus on action, paying close attention to the drawn numbers and multiplying Mega Ball.
Wins are paid based on the number of lines filled per card. The following table shows the potential wins with and without the Mega Ball maximum multiplier of x100. Bear in mind that the max win is capped at €500,000.
| Number of Lines | Default Payout | Max Payout with x100 Multiplier |
| 6+ lines | 9,999:1 | 999,999:1 |
| 5 lines | 999:1 | 99,999:1 |
| 4 lines | 249:1 | 24,999:1 |
| 3 lines | 49:1 | 4,999:1 |
| 2 lines | 4:1 | 499:1 |
| 1 line | 1:1 | 99:1 |
Mega Ball Game Show Features
Mega Ball is fast and furious with many varied betting options. You can play using a single card or up to two hundred cards for each betting round. More lines mean more pays, plus a full house of 6 lines with an x100 multiplier could multiply your stake up to 1,000,000x (subject to the max win cap). Using a single card or 200 cards the aim of the game is the same, to complete lines on the cards by matching the numbers drawn.
Using a lottery-style tumbler that bounces 51 multi-coloured numbered balls around, 20 are drawn into a tube. If the numbers on the balls match numbers on your card/s they are automatically highlighted and blanked off. Mark five numbers in a row to make a line. The centre square on each card is filled and the remaining squares leave a possible twelve winning lines. Completing more lines will pay more, according to the paytable.
Upon the last ball drawn, a reel spins that randomly awards a multiplier of between 5x and 100x, at which point another ball is drawn from the thirty-one remaining, this ball being the Mega Ball. If the Mega Ball number completes a winning line on a card/s then the card win is multiplied by the multiplier.
Plus, a random chance of a second Mega Ball appearing could ramp up the excitement even further, with a chance of even bigger multipliers and more line wins.
Final Verdict
Mega Ball combines Bingo and lottery-style gaming into a turbocharged live casino experience. The game itself is quite simple and very easy to play. Live dealers and cheerful carnival-style music add to the fun. While the idea of buying 200 cards for one betting round may seem daunting, the interface displays them all and ticks them off automatically, allowing you to sit back and watch the action unfold. Another fine and brilliantly produced live casino game by industry leader Evolution Gaming.
