But if you like your cascading reels, mystery symbols, free spins, unlimited win multipliers, and 100,000s of ways to win, then you've come to the right party.

What are Megaways slots?

Megaways slots are online games that use the popular Megaways mechanic. The Australian slot developer, Big Time Gaming (BTG for short), coined the term in 2016. They then unleashed the Megaways mechanic on an unsuspecting gaming world via their slot game Dragon Born, featuring the now-established 117,649 ways to win. BTG followed up with Bonanza Megaways in the same year, and a star was born. The technology was so innovative, popular, and revolutionary that the other slot developers just had to get their hands on it. Hence, BTG did the only sensible thing they could do - they licensed it to other companies such as Red Tiger, Pragmatic Play, and Blueprint Gaming, among others. Some developers, inspired to innovate their version of the Megaways mechanic, patented their own versions. NetEnt developed their InfiniReels engine. Microgaming did the same with their proprietary Wonderways system. However good these mechanics may be, none of them has been able to match the popularity of Megaways. These days if a developer is looking to refresh an existing slot game, one of the ways they do it is to create a Megaways version of it. Not only does it allow them to revamp the gameplay, but it also allows them to improve the graphics, music, and sound effects - basically every facet of a slot’s presentation.

How do Megaways slots work?

Megaways has a few moving parts. Let’s break these down one by one. First, Megaways slots use a unique mathematical equation alongside a random reel modifier, allowing them to have a larger than usual game grid of 6 reels and between 2 - 7 rows. In a Megaways slot, each reel can reveal up to 7 symbols in view. Landing consecutive symbols on all reels after a spin could lead to a maximum of 117,649 ways to win! Some slots go beyond the standard number of paylines. For example, Gorilla Gold Megaways has 4 game grids. Each grid has a 6-reel set-up plus a horizontal 4-reel row at the top. All 4 of these horizontal rows - featuring the 117,649 ways to win - are active at the same time. The sum is a staggering 470,596 paylines should win combinations occur on all game grids! And that’s the tip of the proverbial iceberg! Slots such as Iron Dog Studio’s 1 Million Megaways BC offer over 1 million ways to win, blowing standard Megaways slots out of the water in terms of paylines!

On the other hand, online slots that don’t incorporate BTG’s popular mechanic usually display a limited and fixed number of paylines that cannot be adjusted or modified. Examples of slots with a limited number of paylines include Fruit Shop (15 paylines) and Dragon’s Luck (10 paylines), although both have Megaways iterations that offer many more potential ways to win. So you can see that the Megaways mechanic offers infinitely more possibilities for landing winning combinations due to the increased number of symbols landing on the expanded game grids.

Another feature of the Megaways mechanic is the Cascading Reels feature, and these are exactly what the name implies they are. In-game, all winning symbols will cause a chain reaction, meaning that they are removed from the reels and replaced by new symbols coming into play from above. The cascades continue until no more winning symbols appear.

The rise of the Megaways slot genre

In just a few short years, the Megaways mechanic has risen to become one of the most popular and sought-after in the industry, with more and more developers incorporating it into their games. Some entrepreneurial devs have developed their variant engines. However good they are in their own right, nothing has quite hit as Megaways did, and slot games that use the technology are some of the most popular ones on the market. In fact, Big Time Gaming has cornered the market with its Megaways mechanic, but of course, this would not have been possible without the players; they are the real reason why the technology exploded as it has and why developers are falling over themselves to either make Megaways versions of their most popular games or create their own proprietary game engines.

As a result, the market is set to boom with Megaways online slots potentially providing 100,000s upon 100,000s of ways to win alongside other bonuses and features such as modifiers, multipliers, and free spin features that can pay out huge sums worth many times the original bet. Megaways slots also comprise all themes and genres, so just like with online slots, there’ll be something for everyone. The Megaways mechanic exists in this symbiotic relationship between the developer, supplier, and player. The Megaways train is going full speed ahead, and it's not stopping at any station!

What are Branded Megaways slots?

Megaways slots are hugely popular worldwide, with players having their own favorite slots that use BTG’s proprietary game engine! So what do you think could make them even more so? Why, Branded Megaways, of course! The ingenious idea - pioneered by developer Iron Dog Studios - was to create a fully customizable Megaways slot based on Pirate Kingdom Megaways. More of a template than a fully realized game, Branded Megaways allows Iron Dog Studio’s casino partners to brand a Megaways slot in their inimitable style, including imagery such as logos, mascots, or symbols. And just like that, online casinos can have their own Megaways slots based on different themes. Finally, Branded Megaways slots use the traditional Megaways set-up, with a game grid consisting of 6 reels and 2-7 rows. The precise number of symbols changes with each spin, but players can expect a maximum of 117,649 ways to win when the reels are fully expanded, again just like in traditional Megaways slots. Other popular features of Branded Megaways slots include cascading reels, free spins, locked reels, and multipliers.

What are other characteristics that Megaways slots have?

Many of these features and bonuses mentioned in the previous section carry over into traditional Megaways slots. We have already discussed the Cascading Reels feature in an earlier section. Linked to this mechanic, some Megaways slots, including Diamond Mine Megaways and Extra Chilli Megaways, have a Free Spins feature with an unlimited win multiplier. This multiplier usually starts at 1x but increases by a factor of 1 with every cascade that triggers during free spins. In theory, the unlimited win multipliers can go on increasing indefinitely, so long as the Free Spins bonus round is active.

Mystery symbols can also play a significant role in Megaways slots. In Blueprint Gamings’ Primal Megaways, for example, this is represented by a glowing fire, while a golden apple with a question mark represents the mystery symbol in Red Tiger’s Mystery Reels Megaways. Whichever form it takes, the Mystery symbol can appear on any reel. When it does, it substitutes for all other symbols apart from the Scatter. This creates the possibility of landing more winning combinations that would ordinarily be possible on non-Megaways slots. Not all Megaways slots have bonus Mystery symbols, however.

Another benefit of Megaways slots that makes them especially popular is the relatively high RTP compared to traditional video slots. The RTP on non-Megaways slots can fluctuate considerably. On the other hand, the average RTP on a Megaways slot is around 96%. Allied to a higher potential max win - the Divine Fortune Megaways slot has a maximum payout potential of 38,000x the stake for example - and you can see why Megaways slots are considered so lucrative.

Another reason for their popularity that should not be understated is that Megaways slots play just as well on mobile and tablet devices as they do on a desktop. This is due to them using the same HTML 5/JavaScript technology as their non-Megaways brethren. This means lossless visuals, music, sound effects, and more! All you need to enjoy some of the best Megaways slots on the market today is a stable internet connection!

Of course, no talk of Megaways would be complete without mentioning Pragmatic Play's seminal fishing series. Big Bass Bonanza is one of the most popular slot games ever created, so it stood to reason that the studio would want to create an even more lucrative Megaways version. Big Bass Bonanza Megaways is the result, with its combination of 46,656 paylines and a potential win of 4,000x the stake alongside cascading reels, free spins, and more!
