The 5-Reel version of Major Millions is much more focused on the “Major” part, using a military themed design, with bombers, tanks, medals and all sorts of other military inspired objects. It’s offered by Microgaming, it has the same huge progressive jackpot that has made people rich in the past, and you can read more about what the game has to offer below.
Despite having 5 reels and 15 lines, this version of the game has the same top jackpot as the 3 reel classic. It has a wild symbol with a multiplier, just like before, but it has a scatter symbol as well now. Top payouts can go over the $1 million mark, while fixed prizes reach only $1,600.
Features of Major Millions 5-Reel
The game is not very impressive when it comes to its features, using a scatter symbol and a wild which applies a 3x multiplier. That’s all you’re getting, but it should be more than enough.
First of all, we have the wild symbol, the Major Millions Logo which is also responsible for awarding the biggest prize of the slot, the progressive jackpot. It has to form a combo of five wilds for that to happen, and it has to be on the 15th line in a max bet round. The rest of the time, you will find that this wild will replace other symbols, substituting for them whenever its position allows it to do that. It triples prizes that are awarded thanks to its wild ability, so that’s a 3x multiplier that comes with it.
The second feature is a simple scatter, whose only role is to trigger a cash prize. In other games you might’ve found free spins as well, but in this case you only get 3x to 50x the bet in prizes. You need three to five scattered symbols to get those payouts.
Betting options and jackpots
The maximum bet has remained at the same level as the one from the 3 reel slot, meaning at $3. In this case, you use 15 coins to cover 15 lines, the denomination being $0.20 at all times.
You have top payouts of up to 8,000 coins in the game, meaning up to $1,600. If that same combo of symbols lands on the 15th line, in a max bet round, you get the progressive jackpot. This jackpot has been won at values going anywhere between $252,000 and $1.8 million in the past, the average value being at around $550,000.
Design and symbols
The game has left behind its classic heritage, using instead a lot of military themed objects as symbols. The background is simple and blue, but the reels are filled with cartoon style army symbols. There is Major Millions himself among the symbols, along with ammo boxes, tanks, top secret files and so on. It’s the more enjoyable of the two Major Millions games, at least when it comes to the design.
Symbols: Logo (wild, progressive jackpot), Scatter Logo (scatter, 50x total bet), Major (1,000 coins), Battleship (800 coins), Airplane (600 coins), Tank (200 coins), Top Secret File (180 coins), Medals (160 coins), Major’s Hat (120 coins), Ammo Box (100 coins) and Binoculars (80 coins).
Is It Worth Playing?
There is no question about it, it’s a slot machine you should give a chance to. In case the 15 line slot doesn’t appeal to you, the 3 reel version offers the same huge progressive jackpot as this one.
The Major Millions 5-Reel slot machine is offered through the Microgaming platform, so if you want to play it for real or just to practice, look out for casinos that use it.
