Mega Ball July 2023

The MegaBall gameshow is precisely what it sounds like – a real-time gameshow that lets you win big by matching balls. It’s a lot like bingo, but because you’re playing virtually rather than in person, you’ll need to go through the user interface. Thankfully, it’s well laid out and pretty intuitive.

The ball machine is front and center, with numbered balls bouncing around rapidly. There’s a chute that leads to the top, where the balls come out. At the upper right are the controls you’ll use to adjust the volume and change settings. Your paytable information is at the bottom left, including the return for matching various lines, your balance, and your total buy amount.

In the center, you’ll see your card options. You can buy a single card, 10 cards, 25 cards, 100, or 200 cards. You can also adjust the amount of each buy. The large aqua PLAY button launches the game and sends the balls up the chute. To the immediate right, you’ll see your recent multipliers. At the bottom right are controls for game speed, as well as auto-play.

Within the machine are 51 balls, all numbered. To play, you just choose the value of your cards, decide how many cards you want to play, and then press the PLAY button. The goal is to match the numbers drawn and get as many lines as possible on your cards. Those can be vertical or horizontal.

How to Play

Ready to play MegaBall? Decide how many cards you want to buy and what your amount will be per card. We recommend starting at the bottom with the lowest buy possible to get a feel for this gameshow and how everything works. Click the Go Live button on the interface and it will automatically launch when the next game is ready.

You’ll control the gameplay from the center of the screen. Just click or tap on the number of cards you want to buy and then increase or decrease the value applied to each card. For instance, you might choose to buy 100 cards at .10 gold coins per, giving you a total buy of 10 gold coins for 100 cards. When you’re satisfied that you’ve chosen the right number of cards and value amount, click the PLAY button.

When you’re ready, 20 balls are drawn from the machine. They move quickly down the chute to where they’re displayed. The game will automatically begin marking your cards as the balls move, giving you an adrenaline boost as you see lines form, change, and finally solidify. Any complete line matches are marked through with a gold line. The cards closest to winning are also set at the top of the pile.

Here are a few things to know about playing MegaBall at any sweepstakes casinos:

1. If you match a ball drawn to the number on one of your cards, that number is automatically marked.
2. As you progress, numbers will fill in across the card, to make vertical or horizontal lines.
3. The completed lines are solid. Missing numbers in a line are boxed in.
4. Each card’s winnings are updated and visible.
5. Your potential winnings are also displayed.
6. The game highlights the balls you need to win in gold.
7. After the final ball is drawn, one or two bonus balls will be drawn. These are multipliers and are applied to your winnings if you match by completing a line on one of your cards.
8. Each multiplier ball is colored differently and the colors on your screen will change to match it.

Unique Features

The most unique feature of MegaBall is the final bonus ball (or pair of bonus balls depending on your results). The bonus ball can dramatically increase your winnings. If it completes an incomplete line, your entire card winnings are multiplied by the amount on the ball.

So, let’s say that the bonus ball was 12 and you’d already won 10 gold coins on that card. The 12 ball completes a line, which means that you would win 120 gold coins on that card. There’s the possibility that one or both bonus balls with complete lines on other cards, theoretically giving you a major boost to your winnings. Note that this is rare, though.

Tips and Tricks

• Since you can start low with your buys, we recommend doing so. It only takes a few rounds with the value set to minimum to get the hang of this fun game, and then the sky’s the limit.
• Buy more cards. Your first instinct might be to stick to just one card, but even if you’re going with the lowest value buy possible, buy several cards. We recommend starting at 25 – it’s so much fun to watch the cards adjust as matches mount. Plus, it gives you more chances to win. Remember, the point is to match as many lines as possible.

Conclusion

If you love bingo or gameshows, then Mega Ball is something you need to try. With the controls available, you can easily tailor your buying to your preferences, but watching those lines complete themselves and feeling that rush of adrenaline as the bonus ball rolls down the chute are so much fun.
