Mega Money Rush Slot
How many buzzwords can be shoehorned into the name of one racing game? In the case of Mega Money Rush, by Skillzzz Gaming, the answer is three, with every one of them jam-packed with connotations of excess and adrenaline, qualities that are synonymous with playing racing simulators.
Mega Money Rush is Mega because it’s awesome, obviously, it’s Money because – spoiler alert – scoop the jackpot and that’s what you’ll be remunerated with, and it’s a Rush because as we all know, there’s something about those flickering lights and spinning wheels that induces one hell of a dopamine rush. Mega Money Rush then: an aptly named title. But how does it play?
The Need for Speed
Gambling games that are modelled on racing games are nothing new, but Mega Money Rush is an ambitious beast. Instead of giving you all the thrills of motor racing, with a few upgradable motors to choose from, players are spoilt for choice thanks to a phalanx of cars, speedboats and planes. If it goes fast, odds are you’ll find it in Mega Money Rush.
Fire up the game and first thing you’ll be struck by is the logo. It’s a little bit Micro Machines, it’s a little bit 8-bit and it’s oh so alluring. Flames shoot and letters glint like diamonds while the words are laid out in blocky, pixelated graphics. The logo may be the first thing to command your attention, but astute players will be more interested in the words printed across the bottom of the screen, words that outline the game’s simple philosophy.
Concise and common sense, the instructions provide a quick overview of Mega Money Rush’s key features. “Bonus race - win big prizes. Collect XP to open new worlds. Advanced worlds hold higher prizes. Skill matters: play better, win more! Be surprised! Win gifts.” And there you have it: Mega Money Rush in a nutshell.
Select Your Steed
What gives you a greater rush – soaring along on a speedboat, flying through a canyon or whizzing along the open road in a high performance sports car? Like many racing games, Mega Money Rush follows a linear route, with different vehicles unlocked as you advance through the levels and gain the necessary XP. There is a caveat though: the corresponding paytable for each game can vary significantly.
Road Rush promises a win of up to 1,000 x your stake. Water Thrill promises 2,000 x, Canyon Flight 3,000 x, Jungle Safari 4,000 x, Shark Attack 5,000 x, Dune Rally 6,000 x, Snow Slide 7,000 x and Star Blaze 8,000 x. That’s a whole lotta ways to top up your piggy bank while hurtling along at ridiculously fast speeds.
Fire up your game of choice – let’s start with Road Rush – and you’ll be offered the chance to take your vessel for a test ride before committing some real money. Hit spin and a wheel of fortune will rotate before stopping at a random point on the board. If the pointer stops on a win, an inner circle will then spin to determine the value. From there, you can get onto the game’s main feature, the reason why you’re playing Mega Money Rush in the first place: to experience the dual thrill that money and speed can elicit.
Follow the Road to Riches
If you’re playing the game on desktop, hit spacebar to start the race feature. Then it’s simply a case of using the arrow keys to guide your motor across the track, mopping up coins along the way. Look out for treasure chests dotted along the route; these contain various prizes.
As you drive, it’s not just about scooping up coins either: there are also obstacles to avoid that will hinder your progress. Powerups will also appear as you play. Collect these to advance your progress to the next level. While you race, the game will dispense guidance and encouragement to keep you motivated. Drive over a magnet icon and all of the coins you subsequently pass will be directed straight to you, negating the need to steer. In delivery, this feature will be familiar to anyone who’s ever played the game Subway Surfer.
