Here is the first 5 reel video slot that you can play for free. It is called Mega Fortune and the game is made by Net Entertainment. The best Net Entertainment casino that we have played at is Betsson. They are a Swedish online casino. One of the main reasons that we like Betsson is that they allow us to host a free version of their flash games on our site. We here at Play Internet Slots thank them for allowing us to bring you these games.

Most of the new slots that come out each month are 5 reel video slots like this. In the past couple of years, they have taken over the standard 3 reel slot machines as the most popular. If you can think of a theme, there is already a slot machine that has it.

This video slot is the practice version of the largest progressive jackpot for any slot machine in Europe. Unfortunately, as with all casinos that use Net Entertainment software, players from USA can only play the practice game here as real bets aren’t allowed. The progressive jackpot is currently worth €2.3 million; but as recently as 6 months ago, that jackpot was worth €3.5 million! As you will see below, that means that at least one person hit the Major jackpot.

The theme of this slot machine hints at the rich living that you will do if you hit the Mega Jackpot. There are several special features that you can trigger and lots of fun in store. But, before we get into that, let’s take a look at how to play the game.

How to Play

Everything that requires you to do something is on the green bar below the reels. There are 5 buttons that you can press. The Bet Level goes from 1 to 4 and this level is multiplied by your total bet.

The Bet Lines will automatically have all 25 paylines selected. You can see the path of a payline by hovering over the corresponding number on the left or right side of the reels. Click on the number to select that number of paylines to bet.

The Coin Value ranges from 0.01 to 0.50. This is the amount that you will bet on each payline. You will see the number of coins shrink as you choose a larger coin value. So your total bet is (Coin Value X Bet Lines) and that is multiplied by the Bet Level.

The circular button in the middle is the Spin button. You can also choose to push the Max Bet button; but this will automatically make you bet on all 25 paylines.

During Play

In order to complete a payline, you will have to get three matching icons from the left reel across to the right. The one exception is the Limousine symbol, which only needs two matching icons. There is also a Wild symbol (the yacht) that will help match the symbols in order to complete paylines.

There are two special features in Mega Fortune: Free Spins and a Bonus Round

The free spins are activated when you get 3 or more of the Scatter Champagne bottles anywhere on the screen. They are called scatters because they do not need to land on a payline in order to win.

The Bonus Round is a special treat. When you play for real, you will have a slight chance to take down the Mega Fortune jackpot. In order to activate the bonus round, you will need to match 3 of the Bonus Wheel symbols on a payline as shown below:

The bonus symbol is not a scatter, so don’t get excited just to see 3 of them on the screen. Once you win this feature, you will be taken to the Mega Fortune wheel. You will be prompted to spin the outer wheel. Then, you will have a chance to press a Stop button to stop the wheel (the wheel doesn’t stop on command, but goes around for a second).

The object is to land on one of the Arrow symbols. This will take you to the next circle and another spin. The second ring only has 4 arrows to get inside of the inner circle, which has all of the best prizes. In the inner circle, there is a Major Jackpot prize and only 1 arrow to take you to the Mega Fortune Jackpot.

Here is an interesting 3 reel slot machine that you can practice for free. It is called Beetle Frenzy and it isn’t your typical 3 reel game. To start, there are 5 paylines that you have a chance of winning: all three horizontal lines and both diagonals.

This is what I would consider to be a 3 reel bonus slot because of all of the extra features that are involved. If you just start spinning without looking at the rules, you may be confused. Let’s start at the most basic rules and go from there.

You will need to select a Bet Level between 1 and 5. This will be multiplied by the Coin Value which goes from 0.10 to 5.00. If you would automatically like to bet at level 5, click the Max Bet button. Otherwise, press the spin button next to it.

You will need to get three matching symbols in order to win on a payline. The one exception is the Lady Bug symbol, which will win your money back if two line up on a payline. Click on the Paytable button and scroll to the 4th screen to see the paycharts for the normal icons.

If you want to get the largest wins in this game, you will need all nine icons to match. The paychart for this is the 3rd screen on the Paytable button. You can also win if all nine spots are flower symbols or bug symbols.

You can also win a “Lucky Spin”. This happens if you match all four corners or the 4 sides between the corner. You will win one extra spin for each combination.

The Firefly is a Wild symbol and substitutes for other icons to complete paylines. The Golden Apple is called a scatter symbol; if you get two or more on the reels, you will automatically win on your bet.

There are also two special features that you can win. The first is called the Bug Collector. In order to win this feature, you must get three of the Glass Jar symbols on a payline.

The screen will change and you will be presented with 9 cards to choose from. Each card will have an icon behind it. You will win the prize at the bet level that you chose when you won this feature. Avoid getting the card with an “X” on it, because this will end the feature.
