Mega Ball: RTP, odds and how it works

Mega Ball is Evolution's lottery-style game: 20 of 51 balls are drawn onto your 5×5 cards, then one or two Mega Balls multiply line wins by 5x to 100x.

Line wins pay 1 line 1x up to 5 lines 1,000x before the Mega Ball. Evolution launched it on 24 April 2020, its first bouncing-ball game.

Our verdict: For players who like bingo and a long-shot top prize. Each card returns 95.40%, so more cards cost more.
