Design
Blueprint Gaming has kept the design very similar to the first Wish Upon a Jackpot slot. The gameplay is slightly different, but the visuals are very much in line with the original slot, and this is a good thing. The game is bursting with visual excitement that increases the thrill of the reels. The razor-sharp graphics and 3D symbols pop off the screen to fully indulge you in that rewarding fairy tale world.
As you razz the reels the gameplay is brought to life but when you trigger one of the bonus features or hit a big win, you will be in for a treat. The screen will shine with stunning colour and captivate you through the awe-inspiring visuals masterclass. The game doesn’t hold back when it comes to bringing a vibrant and joyful slot performance. All this is amped up through the immersive soundtrack that further sets the enchanting slot scene.
On the reels, you will find symbols represented by Cinderella slipper, a harp, a palace and colourful letters and numbers making up the lower-paying symbols. Wish Upon a Jackpot Megaways makes for a great sequel and breathes new life into the Megaways world.
Gameplay
The game features a different setup to your average slot games. There are 6 reels to play on with up to 7 symbols on one row. The reels use the Megaways engine, so they are cascading, this means that when you hit a winning combination, the symbols are removed and replaced, providing another opportunity to hit a win on the same spin.
The spin button maintains its place to the right of the reels and the bet around is on the left side and can be set anywhere from £0.20 to £10, making it a preferable choice for those with lower budgets.

A hamburger menu above the spin control is where you will find information on the symbols and the game’s bonus features.
