Pays are awarded for two to six matching symbols landing on adjacent reels from left to right only.

A traditional red canvas with a giant golden medallion serves as the background to a Megaways game window in the shape of an typical Asian temple. Lucky icons in gold dominate on the reels while an traditional Asian soundtrack provides the main audio to the gameplay.

The pay symbols start at the low end with the card royals from 9 through to A, awarding 0.8x to 1.75x your bet for a single six of a kind. They are followed by a range of golden ingots – pig, frog, fish and dragon. Hit six across the reels to win 2x to 50x your stake.

A golden gong on a red icon and marked with the word itself is the wild, appearing on the top reel only and substituting for all regular pay symbols. A jade icon marked with Bonus is the scatter while a golden Chinese letter on a red background acts as the mystery symbol.

Lucky Wu Megaways Slot Features

Inspired Gaming keeps adding more of the same although the different clones are meant for a variety of markets. On this occasion, the sibling of Gimme Gold! Megaways oddly is destined for the US states that allow online gambling which is somehow surprising considering the Asian visuals and design. Well, let’s go through the features one more time to see what Lucky Wu Megaways has on offer.

At any time in the base game you can decide whether you want to activate the Fortune Bet, which will increase your bet size by 50%, e.g. from 0.20 to 0.30 credits and in turn increases your chances to trigger the Free Spins features by adding more bonus scatters to the reel strips. However, symbol payouts and RTP remain unchanged.

Megaways games have been around for some time now with most players being familiar with the reel and pay mechanics, but just in case you never tried one, here’s a rundown. Every spin sequence starts with symbols cascading on to the reels according to the random selection of ways, ranging from 324 to 117,649. The engine allows anything from 2 to 7 symbols on reels two and seven as well as 1 to 6 symbols on reels two to five. In addition, you have the top reel where four symbols appear on every spin.

Hit two to six matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right and you have a winner. All symbols in a combo will explode and new ones will drop into the empty spaces, potentially starting a chain of reactive wins. The process is repeated as long as new winning combinations land after a tumble. All pays are accumulated and credited once a spin sequence ends.

The Mystery Symbols appear at random in form of a gold-framed icon with a Chinese letter on a deep-red background. They can land anywhere on any spin in the base game and free spins, including on the horizontal tracker. Once the reels come to a stop, all in view will reveal a common pay symbol except scatters or wilds. The spin sequence continues as normal once the mystery symbols are unveiled.

Four bonus scatters in view by the time a spin sequence concludes will trigger 12 Free Spins with any extra scatter awarding +2 spins, up to a maximum of 80. During the feature, scatters appear in the horizontal tracker only, retriggering +5 or +10 free spins for three and four scatters respectively. The round is played in true Megaways fashion with the win multiplier starting at x1 and increasing by x1 after every winning cascade, no limits. The Mystery Symbols can also appear on any free spin.

Lastly, should your balance drop below the current bet size but remains higher than zero, then the game will automatically offer you the Spin Chance. It gives you one chance to win one more spin at the current bet size. A pie chart indicates your odds to win the gamble. Click on PLAY to start the gamble and the marker will start spinning. It will be a winner if the marker ends in the green zone, followed by one more spin at the initial bet size. You can always click on NO to return back to the game screen with the remaining balance.

Final Verdict

Lucky Wu Megaways offers nothing new than what we have seen on its siblings, although it delivers the usual solid Megaways action with ample win potential. Key to scoring mega wins will mainly the Free Spins when the multiplier reaches a sizeable factor. Time will tell if this exclusive will be released globally.
