Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

The Basics

There have been numerous versions of Who Wants to be A Millionaire translated to the slot screen – and TV’s biggest paying quiz show returns to the reels once again in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways slot from BGT!

Offering Cascading Reels and 117649 ways to win alongside the chance to play the original game show. I mean we are used to 243 Ways to Win on games like the 88 Fortunes slot, but it seems we are in another league here.

Is there no end to their genius?

The Graphics

Get ready to feel like you’re in the hot seat!

Yes, that’s how good the visuals are in this game. We are talking neon like the Electric Avenue slot from All41 Studios but there’s that famous hot seat.

Your slot play is set in the famous quiz show studio, and if you peer closely you can see the silhouette of the audience, too. As you’d expect from a licensed game, the fonts, colour scheme and soundtrack are all from the original programme which immerses you nicely in the action. It´s got that moneyed look about it, a bit like the Grand Galore slot from ELK Studios which is also worth a spin by the way.

All that’s missing now is Chris Tarrant…

The Play

Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megaways slot comes with 117649 ways to win. Yes, I can hear you gasp my fine friends, it is indeed a veritable banquet of pay lines. But how do they manage to create so many win opportunities? I’ll explain…

It’s all down the licensed Megaways mechanic that Big Time Gaming have become famous for. With 6 reels and a maximum of 8 symbols on each reel, the number of icons that land differs from spin to spin. There is also an extra horizontal reel at the bottom of your game play adding even more chances to win.

Millionaire Megaways also comes with Cascading Reels, so after each winning combo, these icons explode and are replaced by brand spanking new symbols that will drop in from above.

The reel icons are made up of gems in hues of red, purple, green and blue plus the 9, 10, J, Q, K and A from the playing card deck representing the lower values. Your Wild symbol is a multicoloured question mark and it will substitute for all other symbols in play (except for the Millionaire game logo scatter icon) and will land on the horizontal reel only.

The Bonuses

Millionaire Spins 

Manage to hit 3 of the game logo scatter icons and it’s Free Spins a go-go! Plus, during the round, a 1x multiplier is added with every winning cascade.

Now, you’ll be awarded 8 free spins that comes with an increasing multiplier, however – and here’s the fun part – you can gamble your spins to try and increase the number you’ll take!

Pick between A, B, C and D and if you guess correctly more spins will be added to your total free spins. Just like the TV show you’ll be given lifelines to help you out…

Hot Seat Ladder

You start on level 1, but there are 12 levels to get through before you can scoop 50 Free Spins! Make it to the 2nd and 7th levels and you’ll be guaranteed 10 or 20 free spins respectively. Just keep on guessing the questions correctly and you’ll get to the top.

The Monkey Verdict

The question is: do you want to be a Megaways millionaire? Well, you might not make that far – but there are some very profitable wins on offer in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Megaways slot if you can set off those tricksy Free Spins. I also love the inclusion of the Gamble option which really gets the blood pumping!
