Divine Fortune Megaways in detail
Divine Fortune Megaways was released on 24 November 2020 according to NetEnt's official page. SlotCatalog distinguishes an exclusive release on 20 November from a wide release on the 24th; our record carried the 20th and now keeps the provider's date. It is the same pattern seen on Asgardian Stones and Dazzle Me Megaways: the studio publishes a general availability date, while aggregators log the first operator's launch.
The essential difference from the original game is not visible on the grid, it is visible in your wallet. Divine Fortune, released in 2017, was one of the rare NetEnt titles with a progressive jackpot: three pots fed by every player's stakes, with no defined ceiling. The Megaways version removed that system. In its place sit three fixed prizes expressed as multiples of the stake: Bronze at 10x, Silver at 25x, Gold at 500x. These are not jackpots in the strict sense, they are collection prizes. For anyone arriving in search of the 2017 game's pot, the conversion is a disappointment, and most published reviews say so bluntly.
The grid runs six reels each showing 2 to 7 symbols, which gives 64 to 117,649 ways to win depending on the spin's configuration. The Greek theme is kept: Pegasus, Medusa, Minotaur, against a golden temple backdrop.
The engine rests on Falling Wilds Re-Spins, and it is the game's best mechanic. When a Wild appears, it drops one position and grants a free respin; it drops again, another respin, and so on until it leaves the grid at the bottom. A single symbol can therefore generate three or four free spins. Wild on Wild adds to this: if a new Wild lands on a Wild already falling, Pegasus unfolds and covers the entire reel with a stack of Wilds, which keeps descending with its own respins.
Free spins require at least four Scatters, which is more demanding than the usual threshold of three. Four, five or six Scatters award 10, 15 or 20 rounds respectively, and each extra Scatter during the feature adds 5 more. It is only there that Bonus Win symbols appear and can be collected: Bronze, Silver and Gold, matching the game's three fixed prizes.
NetEnt's official numbers: 96.09% RTP, 4,500x the stake as maximum win, a 41% hit rate, stakes from €0.10 to €100 per spin. Two remarks. First, maximum win is the most dispersed figure on this page: BigWinBoard holds 25,000x, another database goes to 38,000x, and our own record carried 500x — the Gold jackpot confused with the game's ceiling. We keep the provider's value. Second, RTP: 96.09%, against 96.59% for the original Divine Fortune, half a point less. On an unusually positive note, SlotCatalog lists no alternative RTP version for this title, whereas that is the norm at NetEnt. There is no bonus buy.
