With the original release in this series proving to be widely popular, Big Time Gaming decided to create a follow up which is loaded with fresh mechanics. As for the appearance of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Rush slot, the studio from the game show can be seen in the background, while a selection of stage lights shine down on the board. There are also plenty of sound effects for various outcomes on the board, all of which are taken from the television show.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Rush comes with 5 reels and 5 rows, leading to 25 symbols landing on the board at the start of each spin. However, instead of a fixed number of paylines being active, this release comes with a Cluster Pays (Also known as the MegaClusters) mechanic, with each cluster causing a cascade that will replace matching symbols with four smaller counterparts.
This continues until no more combinations are formed, at which point the board will reset. In total, the maximum number of icons that can land at the same time is 100, while the current number is displayed on the 'MegaClusters' meter at the top of the screen.
As mentioned earlier, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Rush was released by Big Time Gaming, a company that became infamous after creating the Megaways mechanic. They have a massive collection of online casino games in their portfolio, including titles such as Extra Chilli, Bonanza, and Danger High Voltage.

The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Rush slot also comes with a wild icon, shown as a multicoloured square with a golden 'W' on it. Just like in other online casino games, this symbol can substitute for any other icon as part of a matching cluster.
There are two main bonus features in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Rush, both of which revolve around the same mechanic.
On the left of the board, players will see the MegaTrail which comes with a total of 12 rungs. Each cascade sequence that occurs will add progress to the MegaTrail, with random modifiers being added to different rungs. It's also worth mentioning that the top of the MegaTrail will always be a multiplier, which will be applied to the stake size before being awarded if it's reached.
The other possible outcomes for different rungs on the MegaTrail can be seen below, with a min of 3 appearing during the base game:
Should players reach the seventh rung, a total of 6 free spins will be awarded and the MegaTrail will be enhanced. The new MegaTrail involves a multiplier of up to 2,000x being added to the final rung, with a minimum of 6 modifiers being present during each spin, too. Last but not least, three extra spins will be added to the tally if players reach the seventh rung again during the round.
There are plenty of other titles in our catalogue that are based on the infamous Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game show, including Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Video Poker, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Roulette!
