What is Mega Ball?
Last updated:
Mega Ball is a live casino game show from Evolution Gaming that blends bingo card mechanics with a lottery-style ball draw and a large multiplier. Players buy cards with grids of numbers, balls are drawn, and a final Mega Ball draw can apply a multiplier of up to 1000x to winning cards.
How a round works
Players buy between 1 and 200 cards before each draw, each card containing a 5×5 grid of numbers. Balls numbered 1-51 are drawn in sequence. Each drawn number is marked off matching cards. After 20 balls are drawn, one Mega Ball is revealed — it counts as a drawn number and carries a random multiplier ranging from 5x to 1000x. Players who complete a full line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) using the Mega Ball win the multiplier applied to their payout.
Payout structure
Completing one line pays a fixed amount. Two lines, three lines, and a full house pay progressively more. The Mega Ball multiplier only applies if your line completion uses the Mega Ball. The entertainment loop of watching balls tick off a card is familiar and accessible, which is why Mega Ball attracted a broad audience beyond traditional casino game players.
