Introduction

KatsuBet Casino is a relatively new online casino that has been making waves in the gaming community with its vast array of games, including slots. One of these slots stands out from the rest – the "Mystic Fortunes Megaways" game, which we will be reviewing in depth below. In this article, we will delve into every aspect of this slot, from its theme and design to its payouts, bonus features, and gameplay.

Theme and Design

bet smart The Mystic Fortunes Megaways slot has a richly themed, mystical Asian-inspired design that is sure to transport players to ancient lands filled with fortune and mystery. The game's backdrop is set against a majestic temple surrounded by lush foliage, complete with golden accents and vibrant colors. The reels themselves are made up of intricately designed symbols featuring various animals such as dragons, phoenixes, and tigers.

Symbols

The slot features an impressive array of 10 high-paying symbols, including:

• Dragon : This is the highest paying symbol in the game, awarding players with a maximum payout of up to x5,000.
• Phoenix : The Phoenix is another highly valuable symbol that can reward players with payouts ranging from x1.2 to x4,500.
• Tigers
• Tortoises

These symbols are accompanied by four lower-paying card values – Ace through Ten.

Payouts and Wilds

As a Megaways slot, Mystic Fortunes features an innovative symbol-matching system where each spin can have up to 117,649 ways to win. Each payline is unique, with the top paying combination being achieved when five matching symbols appear on adjacent reels starting from reel one.

The game's Wild Symbol, depicted by the Golden Dragon, takes on multiple roles – it substitutes for all other symbols, except for Scatters and Free Spins Symbols (see below), to create winning combinations. Additionally, as part of a winning combination featuring Wilds and any standard symbol, its payout is doubled.

Scatters

The game's Scatter Symbol, depicted by the Golden Pagoda, activates free spins when three or more appear anywhere on the reels, not necessarily in sequence or on adjacent reels. Players will receive 12 free spins as part of a bonus feature (see below), but it can also trigger the Free Spins Bonus Feature.

Bonus Features

The game offers two main bonus features – the Free Spins and Mystery Symbol Bonuses.

Free Spins

During the Free Spins feature, players are awarded 12 free spins. These reels continue to have up to 117,649 ways to win as in base play. During this feature, the game's Wilds will now be sticky for a maximum of three more free spins if the same symbol lands on reel one.

Mystery Symbol Bonus

Randomly during base and Free Spins, the Mystery Symbols are activated on reels two through six when they land fully stacked horizontally across an entire reel. If it does appear in this way, then each position within its row is randomly replaced with the following standard symbols:

• Dragon
• Phoenix
• Tigers or Tortoises

Each will offer a separate win multiplier and a payout that can be up to x10 based on how many of them appear.

Volatility and RTP

According to the official game data, Mystic Fortunes Megaways has an exceptionally high volatility. We did not test it out with our own mathematical calculations but you may want to do your math too – if desired, by comparing your results to those found online.

The return-to-player rate is a little lower at 95%.

RTP and betting range were verified through the game's menu when I tested KatsuBet Casino. In case RTP had changed later please refer directly with the provider for up-to-date information on that parameter or verify it yourself.

Mobile Play

As an HTML5 slot, Mystic Fortunes is fully accessible across all mobile devices – whether they are using Apple iOS, Android, or Windows Phone operating systems.

Gameplay and Experience

The gameplay experience in this game is characterized by smooth animations, fluid transitions between screens, and responsive controls. The symbols scale well on smaller screen sizes, making it comfortable to play even when viewed on the smallest handheld device.

In our opinion, KatsuBet casino overall offers a great gaming platform with numerous games including Mystic Fortunes – but that's another topic!

Overall Analysis

Mystic Fortunes Megaways is an enchanting slot machine experience from the Asian-inspired Mystical World. Its engaging gameplay and attractive bonus features ensure plenty of opportunities to score wins throughout your game sessions.

However, a few criticisms are worth mentioning: due to its high volatility level, some players may find that winning combinations do not occur as frequently – at least until they have a big win or two (of course always be cautious and gamble responsibly).
