Megaways Slots

Megaways is a game engine developed by Big Time Gaming. Unlike traditional video slots that have a fixed number of lines or ways to win - a Megaways slot alters the number of winning ways on each spin. The random reel modifier impacts all game reels - changing the size of symbols with each round.

Each reel can display between 2 and 7 symbols. Smaller symbols on the reels will effectively create thousands of winning chances. Bigger symbols will reduce the number of win combinations. Many Megaways slots come with six reels and have a maximum 117,649 ways to win.

It's assumed that 2016's Bonanza was the first-ever game in the genre - but this is incorrect. Big Time Gaming released a game called Dragon Born in 2015 - and it was the first slot to use the engine.

Megaways slots work like conventional slot games - simply pick your bet level and then press the spin button. If you form a winning combination, you will win a prize based on the paytable.

Many modern slots payout based on payline combinations - but in Megaways, win lines are not used. Instead, matching symbols on adjacent paylines will trigger a win. 

Typically, you will need match symbols on 2 or more adjacent reels to win a prize. The more symbols involved in a win, the bigger the potential reward.
