Megaways

On a Megaways slot the reels do not keep one shape. Every spin sets a new height for each reel, so one reel might show two symbols while its neighbour shows seven, and the number of winning ways is recalculated from that layout. Big Time Gaming introduced the mechanic, and it has since been licensed to many other studios.

Because the grid keeps moving, the same game can feel very different from spin to spin. Many titles pair the changing reels with tumbling symbols, so one spin can produce several wins in a row, and free spins rounds often add multipliers that climb as the feature goes on.

Themes vary widely. Power of Thor Megaways and Dragons Of The North Megaways lean on Norse legend, Aztec Magic Megaways and Legend of Cleopatra Megaways look to ancient civilisations, and Big Bass Bonanza Megaways and Lucky Fishing Megaways head out on the water. Studios represented include Pragmatic Play, Netent, GameArt, Kagaming and BGaming.
