The Feature in Who wants to be a Millionaire Megaways

Hot Seat Free Spins Gamble and Life Lines

When you get three or more Scatters you’ve made it to the Free Spins. First off, you need to go through the Hot Seat to determine how many free spins you will get. You start at eight free spins, and you’re then faced with a question and whether to walk away or gamble for more free spins.

To help you on the way to more free spins, there are three life lines, similar to the original TV Game Show. The life lines are:

• 50:50 – Two incorrect answers are removed
• Phone a Friend – The most likely answer is revealed
• Ask the Audience – Reveals all answer odds

On the road to 50 free spins, there are two safety nets that guarantee 10 and 20 free spins respectively. If you reach these levels, you are guaranteed these number of free spins, no matter what you answer on the following questions.

The Free Spins feature itself

The Free Spins themselves work like many other Megaways slots. Every reaction that happens increases the Multiplier for future wins by one. As you can imagine, if you managed to get to 50 free spins in the Hot Seat gamble, you are looking at a mental multiplier at the end of those spins.

Free spins can be re-triggered, but the maximum amount of free spins are 50. Thus, if you manage to best the Hot Seat Gamble feature, re-triggers will do nothing.

Conclusion of Who wants to be a Millionaire Megaways

The Who wants to be a Millionaire Megaways online slot is a visually stunning slot made by Big Time Gaming. It stays true to the original TV Game Show format; it almost feels like you are in the Hot Seat yourself when the free spins hit. If there was one thing we would change about this slot, it would be to give atleast some free spins even if you gamble and lose. Two or Four even, or a Guaranteed coin win. Anything really. It hurts so much to win the free spins feature, gamble and lose it all.

We give this slot a 4.2 out of 5.0 rating.
