Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™ is a 6 reel slot from Blueprint Gaming that runs on the Megaways™ gaming engine. This reel modifying pay mechanic is under license from Australian slot developer Big Time Gaming, and through its use Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™ is able to generate anything up to 117,649 paylines per spin.

To get the game under way it will cost you a minimum of €0.20 a play, with the maximum bet reaching €100 a spin. A selection of suitable stakes between these amounts can be found to match all sized playing budgets.

The RTP on Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™ is 95.50%, this is a little lower than what we would have expected to see, with Megaways™ Slots currently having an average RTP of around 96.19%.

Whenever you come across a Megaways™ slot that is using a 117,649 payline format, it is almost a given that the cascading reels feature will also be included within it. This is the case when it comes to Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™, and the falling / cascading reels mechanic can help to produce some good base game wins, as well as play a part in the bonus feature.

With this mechanic in action all symbols that make up part of a winning combination will be eliminated from the reels, and new symbols will fall down to fill the gaps that have been left. This will continue until there are no further winning connections on the reels. 

We all like a little extra entertainment when playing the base game on a Megaways™ slot, and Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™ features 3 base game modifiers which can randomly trigger on any spin.  If the fairy godmother appears on the screen then one of the following will be triggered.

Entering the free spin feature on Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™ will require you to land 3 or more of the scatter symbols anywhere in view. If this can be achieved then you will trigger the bonus round and be awarded with 10 free spins. 

Before the free spin bonus begins you are invited to pick from one of three orbs. Behind these orbs are the modifiers that can be triggered in the base game, so whichever one you select will also have a chance of triggering during the free spins.

As well as your modifier, Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways™ bonus round also includes the unlimited multiplier. This will begin with a value of x1, and each time you are successful in hitting a reel cascade it will increase in value by a further x1.

With both the unlimited multiplier and a modifier in play, you have the potential for some good reel set ups which could lead to some very interesting and big feature bonus wins.

Additional spins may be added during the free spins, with each bonus symbol that lands awarding you an extra 1 spin.

With Blueprint seemingly working their way through their back catalogue, we did wonder how long it would be until Wish Upon a Jackpot received the Megaways™ makeover. 

We actually prefer this version to the original, and with the modifiers in play during the bonus round, it does offer something slightly different to the standard approach some take of the the unlimited multiplier in play by itself.

As Blueprint continue to press on with their releases of Megaways™ Slots and rejuvenate old titles with the popular Megaways™ engine, they are bound to have a few hit and miss slots along the way. In our opinion this is an upgrade with a hit, but try out the free play and see what you make of it.
