Scales of Fortune Megaways Slot Review

I don’t know if you know this, but some skyscrapers in Hong Kong have massive holes going through the middle of them.

It’s not structural damage or weird architecture either. These are deliberate gaps so feng shui dragons 🐉 can fly from the mountains to the sea without crashing into someone's living room.

The Repulse Bay building is the most famous one (Google it, the hole is frikkin massive!). It seems developers would rather lose millions in rentable floor space than risk blocking an invisible dragon's flight path.

This is Scales of Fortune Megaways slot, and it comes from Lucky. ⚖️

Gameplay

The palace/waterfall/mountains/guarding lions backdrop isn't exactly innovative, but I guess it sets the scene. And the artwork is pretty intricate, so all in all it's not a bad-looking game.

The 6-reel Megaways grid has up to 117,649 ways to win. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is 96.57% (bumped to 97.25% with the Buy Bonus), volatility is rated medium/high, and the max multiplier is 10,000x.

The max win is $140,000 and you can bet from $0.20 to $14. Betting can’t happen in Japanese yen or Bitcoin Cash.

Wins trigger Cascades, which is the standard deal where winning symbols vanish and new ones drop in from above. You know the drill.

The heart, club, spade, and diamond make up the low-paying symbols. They all pay the same (0.25x for 6-of-a-kind, 0.2x for 5, 0.15x for 4, and 0.1x for 3).

The gold knot pendant pays 0.625x for 6-of-a-kind, and the lanterns come in at 1.25x for 6. The blue turtle pays 1.875x for 6-of-a-kind, and the toad rounds out the mid-tier symbols at 2.5x for 6.

Two high-paying symbols top the paytable. The green dragon pays 5x for 6-of-a-kind, and the red dragon leads with 25x for 6-of-a-kind (there's a massive gap between those two, by the way).

Then there’s a Mystery symbol. This red firecracker hits on reels 2 through 6 during the base game only. When it lands, it transforms into a Wild with a random 1x, 2x, or 3x multiplier. But it doesn't stop there.

Mystery symbols can also turn up to 3 additional random symbols into Wilds (these extra Wilds always carry a 1x multiplier). So one Mystery Symbol can potentially create up to 4 Wilds on a single spin.

The Wild symbol is a golden dragon head that appears everywhere except reel 1. It replaces all symbols except the Scatter and lands with a random 1x, 2x, or 3x multiplier.

The Scatter is a golden yin-yang dragon emblem. Landing 3 or more during the base game triggers the Free Spins choice feature (which I'll get into shortly).

Features

FREE SPINS:

Landing 3+ Scatter symbols during the base game triggers this round. Before the spins start, you're presented with 7 options, and the trade-off is simple: fewer spins = higher potential multiplier.

• 25 Free Spins (Low Risk): Random 2x, 3x, or 5x win multiplier.
• 20 Free Spins: Random 3x, 5x, or 8x win multiplier.
• 15 Free Spins: Random 5x, 8x, or 10x win multiplier.
• 12 Free Spins: Random 10x, 12x, or 15x win multiplier.
• 10 Free Spins: Random 12x, 15x, or 20x win multiplier.
• 8 Free Spins (High Risk): Random 15x, 20x, or 25x win multiplier.
• Mystery: Random 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins with a random multiplier from 3x up to 25x. This one's for the "let fate decide" crowd.

Whatever multiplier you land applies to ALL wins during the entire Free Spins session. Pick 8 spins and land the 25x, for example, and every single win in that round gets multiplied by 25.

BUY BONUS:

Pay 60x for Free Spins - which is an excellent price, I might add. The RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. bumps to 97.25%, and it triggers a random selection from the 7 available Free Spins options.

So you're at the mercy of RNG for which tier you land in, versus if you triggered Free Spins organically, but them’s the breaks.

Performance

I didn't have any issues while testing this game.

Maximum Win

The max multiplier is 10,000x your bet, which means you can scoop the max win of $140,000 at the highest bet of $14. The minimum bet is $0.20.

Conclusion

Free Spins is where it’s at. Picking spins and landing multipliers means every cascade, every Wild multiplier stack, and every Megaways alignment gets boosted massively.

As for the Buy Bonus, the 97.25% RTPRTP stands for “Return to Player.” The RTP describes the total bet amount that a game returns to players over millions of spins, and that figure is represented by a percentage. Table games, such as Roulette, typically have higher RTPs than many slots.

RTP needs to be considered in conjunction with a game’s volatility rate. is solid value for anyone who wants to skip straight to the action. And the price is pretty damn sweet.

Oh, and the Mystery Symbol adding up to 4 Wilds from a single trigger gives the base game some genuine punch. There’s a lot of good stuff happening in this game.

However, the multiplier within each Free Spins tier is randomly assigned. You pick the tier, but the game picks the exact multiplier. So you could go for 8 spins hoping for 25x and end up with 15x instead.

For my money, the Buy Bonus is worth considering if you're a balanced or high-risk player.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise to learn that I like Scales of Fortune Megaways slot. I'm all about increasing my level of control in a slot game, and this one offers me exactly that.
