The enchanting world of slot games has a fresh addition, as NetEnt, a Stockholm-based subsidiary of Evolution Gaming Group, introduces ‘The Wish Master™ Megaways™. This slot game, a sequel to the popular original, Wish Master, takes players on a magical ride featuring a potent genie, The Wish Master, whose power can turn a player’s dreams into reality.Set within the mystical confines of a cavern, filled with fragile, shimmering golden objects, the game revolves around the powerful Wish Master. This grand genie uses remarkable features to guide players to substantial winnings. Importantly, the game is designed to be device agnostic, allowing for play across a variety of devices.
Megaways Mechanic
Distinguishing itself from its predecessor, ‘The Wish Master™ Megaways™’ incorporates Big Time Gaming’s Megaways™ technology. This mechanic adds an innovative twist to the traditional six-reel structure, introducing an additional horizontal reel. The result is an almost limitless number of potential winning combinations on every spin, providing Megaways™ slots with a staggering 117,649 ways to win.For a winning spin, players need to match three or more identical symbols on adjacent reels starting from the far left. This triggers a cascading feature on the dynamic grid of 6 reels and 2-7 rows. Basic low-value symbols are represented by 10, J, Q, K, and A, while high-value symbols include jewelled animals in blue, orange, green, and red. The game offers high volatility, a default Return to Player (RTP) of 96.07%, and a maximum win of up to 27,018 times the player’s stake.
