Millionaire Rush

MegaClusters Base Game

Since everything is Mega that Big Time Gaming creates, the addition of MegaClusters means that there are no standard pay-lines in this release. Introduced by Star Clusters in June of 2020, Millionaire Rush is the fifth BTG slot using this mechanic. Initially played with 5 rows and 5 columns, all winning symbols will split and react. If it’s one of the larger symbols that happen to react, they will each be replaced by 4 smaller ones.

There are 7 gem symbols that will only pay for a cluster of 5 symbols that match either horizontally or vertically. If all of them split, there will be a whopping 100 symbols on the screen at once. By MegaClusters standards, it is the lowest you can get or the same as in Diamond Fruits.

What this branded title has going beyond all other slots of this class is the new MegaTrail.

MegaTrail

The new MegaTrail is visible throughout gameplay and it has 12 rungs with randomly determined bonuses. Each new spin will generate at least 3 random bonuses, whereas rung 7 will always award 6 Free Spins. To move up one level, a win has to occur, which could also be a regular avalanche or reaction. Note that Rung 1 of the MegaTrail is always blank in the base game, and Rung 2 will always contain a random bonus.

There are 12 types of Random Bonuses:

1. Wilds – Up to 10 Wilds are randomly added.
2. Multiplier Wilds – Wilds with up to x5 Multiplier are added.
3. Symbol Explosions – Every instance of the displayed symbol will remove all symbols in its row or column.
4. Symbol Subdivide – Every big instance of the displayed symbol will turn into 4 smaller symbols of the same type.
5. Symbol Upgrade – Every instance of the displayed symbol will upgrade to the symbol indicated.
6. Symbol to Wild – Every instance of the displayed symbol will become a Wild.
7. Mega Wild – A grid of 4 Wilds will be added to the screen. Two grids of Wilds are added in the Free Spins.
8. Win Multiplier – A Multiplier for the entire spin is incremented by up to x10. Bonus Prize is not multiplied.
9. Explosions – Up to 3 explosions, in the shape indicated, will remove symbols from the screen.
10. Symbol Duplication – Five big instances of the displayed symbol will be added in a row or column.
11. 50:50 – All of the symbols in the top, bottom, left or right half of the screen will be removed.
12. Max Megaclusters – All big symbols are replaced by 4 smaller symbols.

👍 Tip: If you’re a math geek then the game’s standard deviation is 28.879, which is similar to Gold MegaWays which has an SD of 27.99.

What to expect from MegaTrail? You will fairly regularly climb up several rungs and activate a few of the boosters. However, they all add up very little since the payouts are so small. Also, the maximum possible MegaTrail award of 1,000x in the base game is often just not enough to break even the costs of getting there in the first place.

Rung 7 with the Free Spins is a probability that happens around every couple of hundred spins or so. And as to be expected, MegaTrail also shines in all its glory in the main bonus.

Free Spins Bonus

Once you get 6 wins or reactions in a row, you’ll win 6 free spins with an enhanced MegaTrail that will be randomly determined before the bonus round starts. A minimum of 6 bonuses will find their way there, including Rung 1, and they won’t get shuffled on every spin. Plus, Rung 12 will have a 2,000x bonus prize. Never happened to me in Free Spins but I did manage to get it right to the top in the base game, twice.

Also, when you reach Rung 7, you’ll win +3 Free Spins. The maximum number of total Free Spins is 99. Unlike Wild Portals or Golden Catch, there is no Win Exchange or bonus buy in this game.
