Megaways Slots - Win BIG

There are few things more rewarding than winning at the slots, but there are others that are absolutely Mega. Of course, we're talking about Megaways™ slots, which include a staggering number of ways to win. We understand that Megaways™ could be complicated to understand at first glance. That’s why we dedicate this page to educating our players to this fun and unique way of playing online slots. 

First introduced by Big Time Gaming, Megaways™ is a new innovation in which you never know how many directions the next spin will be. Each reel will contain anywhere from two to eight marks, resulting in a plethora of variations and hundreds of thousands of possible winning combinations.

Megaways™ are simply changeable reels, with the symbol height on each reel shifting with each spin. The amount of ways to win is continually changing in this manner. Looking at the reels is the simplest way to explain the Megaways™ mechanic. These games could reward huge winning combinations when extended towards the maximum of 117,649 ways to win.

Reels and symbols

The majority of the existing Megaways™ slots have six reels of at least two symbols per reel and up to seven or eight symbols per reel. When you factor in multipliers as well as other reel modifiers, it's easy to see why Megaways™ slots have become so popular.

Megaways™ wins pay out left to right and are based on matching symbols across adjacent reels, no matter the size, placement on the reel or how many of the same symbol are on each reel. 

Examples

To give two examples, in a winning combination the winning symbol appears on reels 1, 2, 3 and 4. In a non-winning combination however, there is no winning symbols on reel 2 for instance, breaking the matching symbol streak.

Calculating your winning ways can be challenging as most of these slots have 117,649 ways to score. Most of the time, though, you won't have to fear because the slot would show you how many forms each spin provides in the box in the left corner. However, if you're curious for Megaways Maths, we've got you covered!

To calculate how many winning ways there are, add the number of symbols on each reel by the total number of winning ways. If we use a typical configuration of seven maximum symbols per reel over six reels, we'd have to multiply each reel separately and against the others: 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 = 117,649 ways to win.
