What are Megaways Slots and how do they work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

When looking at the portfolio of slot games, a common type is the <\/span>\u2018all ways pay\u2019 slot<\/span><\/a>, which usually comes with 243 paylines and therefore offers a large number of winning combinations. However, the literal game-changer developed by Big Time Gaming is Megaways <\/span>Slots<\/span><\/a>, where each reel can have anywhere from two to eight symbols and consequently create hundreds and thousands of different ways to win. This mechanic comes to life due to the <\/span>random reel modifier<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the main features to <\/span>promote<\/span><\/a> the Megaways mechanic are the changeable reels, where the symbol height varies with every spin and therefore the number of ways to win is constantly changing. Should such a slot expand to its maximum, these games can reward a player with huge winning combinations as well as huge winning amounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2016 more and more Megaways Slots found their way into the Online Casinos and most of the time offer six reels with at least two and up to a maximum of eight symbols per reel as well as up to 117,649 ways to win. And since Big Time Gaming started licensing their mechanic to other gaming providers, there are much more slot games available. To name a few examples, <\/span>Gonzo\u2019s Quest Megaways<\/span> by Red Tiger, <\/span>Fruit Shop Megaways<\/span> by NetEnt and our very own <\/span>SkyCity Branded Megaways<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to this already very promising layout, these games can be boosted by added multipliers and other features. And even though these slots only pay left to right, many players added them to their list of most popular games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides the ongoing change of available paylines on every spin, it\u2019s important to mention that every winning spin requires the same symbol on adjacent reels. Traditional slots games instead can reward you by landing respective symbols along with the fixed paylines.<\/span><\/p>\n
