The Wish Master™ Megaways™ Slot Review – Free Play by NetEnt

The Wish Master™ Megaways™ Slot Facts

The Wish Master Megaways slot from NetEnt scales its 117,649-way engine up to a maximum win of 27,018 times the stake, backed by an Extreme volatility rating. This 2023 release turns the genie’s classic Wish Master Features into a Megaways format, stacking up to three powers together across a 6x7 grid. It is built for players chasing one enormous result rather than a comfortable, steady session.

Lamp symbols summon the genie mid-session, and whichever powers he hands out run for five spins at a time, resetting and layering every time a new lamp appears. Between the huge way count and that stacking system, this is one of the more punishing entries in NetEnt’s Wish Master series.

The Wish Master Megaways Theme & Design

The Megaways spin-off keeps the same genie-and-lamp premise as the original game, but restages it across a taller, denser 6x7 reel set built to support 117,649 ways. Magic lamp symbols take over as the trigger icon, appearing no more than once per reel, so the mystical, wish-granting mood gets tied directly to the mechanic rather than sitting in the background. NetEnt keeps the presentation close to the feel of the original, letting the genie’s four powers, extra Wilds, a locked reel of Wilds, multipliers, and random Wilds, supply the visual variety across the extended grid instead of a redesigned symbol set.

How The Wish Master Megaways Plays

Every spin runs across the full 6x7 Megaways grid, cascading through as many as 117,649 ways with nothing needed beyond ordinary symbol matches until a magic lamp appears. Landing a lamp calls in the genie, who adds one of four powers, an extra Wild swap, a locked Wild reel, a win multiplier, or extra random Wilds, to an inventory that holds a maximum of three at a time. Each power runs for five consecutive spins, and every new lamp resets that counter back to five for everything currently active, so a well-timed lamp can keep a combination running far longer than five spins. If the inventory is already full when a new lamp lands, the oldest power gets bumped to make room. The way the powers compound is what carries this game, since a locked Wild reel underneath an active multiplier and a scatter of random Wilds can turn the enormous way count into a single outsized result.

RTP, Volatility & Win Potential

A 96.07% RTP sits close to the industry average of around 96%, but the Extreme volatility label is the number that actually defines this game, warning of long droughts between meaningful wins. A 20.48% hit frequency confirms that something lands on roughly one in five spins, and most of those hits will be small until the Wish Master inventory starts filling with active powers. The 27,018x maximum payout is the real headline here, and it depends on the genie’s multiplier and locked Wild reel powers running together across the 117,649-way grid at the exact moment a big combination lands.

Our Verdict on The Wish Master Megaways

The Wish Master Megaways slot review is aimed squarely at players who enjoy high-risk sessions and can absorb long cold streaks in pursuit of a 27,018x result, since the Extreme volatility rating is not an exaggeration here. The honest weakness is that same volatility, as a 20.48% hit frequency will frustrate anyone looking for steady, small returns.

The Wish Master™ Megaways™ Bonus Features & How They Work

Wish Master Features

A magic lamp symbol, capped at one per reel, summons the genie whenever it appears on the grid. He slots one of four possible powers into an inventory that holds up to three at once. Each power runs for five consecutive spins, and every fresh lamp resets that timer back to five for whatever is already active. A new power arriving when the inventory already holds three bumps out whichever one has been running the longest.

Extra Wild

During an active Wish Master Feature spin, this power converts one of the two highest-paying symbols into a Wild wherever it lands, adding extra winning connections to the top two symbols on the pay table without touching anything else on the grid.

Wild Reel

When this power’s trigger symbol lands, it spreads Wild coverage across that entire reel and keeps it locked in as a permanent Wild column for every remaining Wish Master Feature spin, so once it appears you can count on a full reel of Wilds until the feature run ends.

Multiplier

This power applies either a x2 or x3 multiplier to every winning way for as long as it is active. When both variants land together, the boost combines into a single x6 multiplier applied across all bet way wins.

Random Wild

Every spin while this power is active guarantees between two and five random Wilds appearing somewhere on the reels, adding a fixed dose of extra Wild coverage to each Wish Master Feature spin regardless of what else is happening on the grid.
