Mega Ball Strategy Guide

Mega Ball is the ultimate Bingo and lottery combination. It is a unique online game show from Evolution, combining the row matching mechanism of 90-ball Bingo with the lucky number machine from your favorite lotteries. Buy a ticket, watch the 20 balls drawn and match the rows on your BET86 ticket to win instant cash prizes.

How to Play Mega Ball

Want to join the game? It’s simple, just follow these steps:

• First you need to register with the bookmaker.
• Choose your betting chips and buy a ticket (you can buy 1-400 tickets in total).
• After the betting period ends, the game begins and the Mega Ball machine will start spinning.
• 20 numbers will be revealed one by one, matching numbers will be crossed out on your ticket.
• If you form a row of matching numbers vertically, horizontally or diagonally, you will win a cash prize.
• Match multiple lines to increase your total prize value.
• After all 20 numbers are called, the Mega Ball multiplier wheel will spin to reveal a 5x-100x multiplier.
• The Mega Ball machine is re-spun with the 20 numbers called in the game and the revealed number will be added to the multiplier.
• All wins on tickets involving the Mega Ball number will have the multiplier applied to the total win value.
• Randomly in any round, an additional Mega Ball multiplier can be added to a second number to create even more surprise prizes.

How to Win the Game

Like playing 90-ball Bingo, winning in this game depends on creating vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines with matching numbers. The more lines you create in a single play, the higher your total prize value.

You can buy from 1 to 400 tickets to increase your chances of owning a winning ticket. The top prize is for creating 6 or more lines, which is worth up to 9,999 times your total bet.

This game also has a special feature called Mega Ball. After 20 balls are called in the main game, a wheel is spun to select a multiplier and apply it to 1 of those 20 balls. This multiplier will be added to the total winning value of any ticket containing the Mega Ball number, giving you an extra boost in your winnings. Occasionally, during any given round, the Mega Ball multiplier can be applied to up to 2 balls, giving you an extra chance of winning on winning tickets.

Playing Strategies

BET86 offers some great playing strategies to help you win more easily.

Buy a Small Number of Tickets

Buy a small number of tickets so you can easily keep track of winning tickets. This strategy has the potential to maximise your potential profits as buying a small amount minimises your potential losses and means that if a ticket wins, you have a better chance of getting more numbers matched on your tickets.

Buy All

You can buy up to 400 tickets in total and by buying all of them, you have a higher chance of having more numbers matched on your tickets. This strategy also increases your chances of having the numbers selected as the Mega Ball and can add lucrative multipliers to your winnings.

Note: Make sure you set a limit and don’t spend more than you’re comfortable with. If you need help setting a limit, check out our fully customisable Safer Gambling Tools.

Lucky Numbers

Write down a few of your lucky numbers and when buying tickets during the betting phase, keep the ones that contain some/all of your lucky numbers. The best way to do this is to buy a small number of tickets so you can keep better track of the numbers on each ticket, ideally under 10.

Variety

Variety is the spice of life and this strategy is no exception. Experiment with different rounds by buying large and small numbers of tickets to get a feel for what works best for you. This strategy is less stressful than the Full Monty strategy but still maximizes your chances of hitting the Mega Ball multipliers.

Martingale/Reverse Martingale Strategy

Martingale is one of the most popular betting strategies and was originally created for use with Roulette. Basically, for every round you lose, double your bet until the next win. The idea is that on each win, you will recoup the loss from the previous round.

Set yourself a number of tickets and bet value, then when you record a loss on your total bet, double the total value on all tickets. When you hit a win, reduce the bet back to its original value and repeat. The Reverse Martingale Strategy is the same strategy but in reverse, with each loss you reduce the bet amount until you win to minimize your losses.
