Guide
Megaways Slots
The reel sizes change. The edge does not disappear.
What changes each spin
A Megaways slot draws a height for each reel, so the number of ways changes every spin. Bonanza, Extra Chilli, Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, Great Rhino Megaways, and Madame Destiny Megaways are the five in this catalog.
More ways means more symbol combinations are evaluated. It does not mean the game returns more per stake. Read the RTP column. These sit around 96%.
Cascades and multipliers
Wins often tumble and a multiplier steps up inside the bonus. That is why the max win figures are large. The path to that max win is rare. The base game can feel empty while the multiplier sits at 1.
Extra Chilli lets you gamble a win for more spins. That gamble can also end the feature. It is optional. Skipping it is allowed.
How they are filed
Megaways is its own category so the Games page always has a seat for the type. The rest of the Megaways titles live on the category page even when they are outside the top twenty.
Pragmatic and Big Time Gaming both appear. The licence of the maths is the studio’s. The cashier is still the app you opened.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the game. The help file states the ceiling. More ways is not more RTP.
Is Bonanza the original?
It is the Big Time Gaming game that made the format famous. Others in the table use the same idea.
Are Megaways excluded from bonuses?
Sometimes, if the terms exclude certain studios. Read the offer.
