Slot Details
Neptune’s Fortune Megaways is a cascading video slot with six reels, two to six rows and up to 46,656 ways to win. Pays are awarded for three to six matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only. You can face the mighty water god on desktop, tablet or mobile from 0.20 to 20 credits per spin. The game has high variance with an RTP of 96.03% and a hit rate of roughly 1:4 spins.
Core to the gameplay is the cascading symbol mechanic with reactive wins. At the start of a spin sequence, two to six symbols will drop onto each reel, creating anything from 64 to 46,656 ways. Worth noting is that we do not have the usual horizontal reel on top of the game window on this slot. Hit three to six matching symbols on adjacent reels and you have a winner. All symbols in the combo will be removed before new ones drop into the empty spaces, potentially letting you win multiple times within a spin. The cascades continue as long as new wins occur. All pays are accumulated and paid in a single amount once a spin sequence concludes.
A serene underwater world is opening when you load the game that according to legends and myths is the home of the mighty Roman God of the Sea. Corals and sea flowers surround the game window while sunlight is protruding through the crystal-clear waters to give it that serene appearance. Five treasure chests tower on top of the reels that will play a significant role throughout the gameplay. To the left are the displays for the four fixed jackpots which can be won during the Neptune’s Bonus feature.
The pay symbols start at the low end with crested card royals from 10 through to A, awarding 0.8x to 1.2x your bet for a single five of a kind. They are followed by starfish, seashell, turtle, octopus, and Neptune himself. Hit six across the reels to win 1.5x to 40x your stake. A white pearl clam is the wild, substituting for all regular pay symbols and potentially triggering the Treasure Chests on top of the reels (more to that shortly). An icon with Neptune’s trident acts as the scatter.
Neptune’s Fortune Megaways Slot Features
iSoftBet is working hard to be on par with other Megaways licensees in cloning its own creations. On this occasion, they chose Fu Fortunes Megaways that was released in July 2020 and gave it a new appearance. You would be hard-pressed to find any differences bar the visuals and the first part of the title that was changed from an Asian character to a Roman god.
The pearl clam wilds are still the focal point of the gameplay as they don’t just act as substitutes but also as potential triggers for two of the features on this slot. Both involve the five Treasure Chests on top of the reels. Any wild landing on the reels will send air bubbles to the top, potentially triggering any of the chests. The four smaller chests above reels 1, 2, 5 and 6 can open at any time and award a random win multiplier ranging from x2 to x5, providing the potential for a maximum x20 multiplier if all four trigger at the same time. All awarded multipliers are added and the total applied to the overall win from the entire game round.
Triggering the big purple Treasure Chest on top of reels three and four will award the Neptune’s Bonus Game. This is a pick-me feature where you will be presented with 12 pearls. The four fixed jackpots – Mini at 20x, Minor at 50x, Major at x200 and Grand at 1,000x your total bet – will move to the top and your aim will be to find three matching characters by clicking on one pearl at a time to win any of the jackpots.
Having four, five or six trident scatters in view at the end of a spin sequence will trigger 10, 12 and 15 Free Spins respectively, which can be indefinitely retriggered. The major twist for the bonus round is the removal of the card royals for the duration of the feature, leaving only high-value symbols, wilds and scatters on the reels. The chest multipliers and Neptune’s Bonus game can also trigger on any free spin.
Final Verdict
Admittedly, iSoftBet has released some truly entertaining Megaways slots since they signed the licence in 2019 such as Morgana Megaways or Aztec Gold Megaways. However, they have also shown a penchant for cloning them, which is not inherently a negative as players like to have different themes, but it often feels like the developers are trying to take the lazy road. Nevertheless, Neptune’s Fortune Megaways has its suspenseful moments and not to forget, a big win potential of up to 9,710 times your bet.
