A proprietary slot mechanic offering thousands of ways to win with changing reel sizes on every spin.
Megaways is a revolutionary slot mechanic developed by Big Time Gaming that changes the number of symbols on each reel with every spin, creating thousands (often over 100,000) of potential ways to win. Unlike traditional fixed-payline slots, Megaways slots have variable-height reels that can display between 2 and 7 symbols each spin. The number of ways to win is calculated by multiplying the number of symbols on each reel, for a 6-reel Megaways slot, this can result in up to 117,649 ways to win. Each spin is completely random as the reel heights change. Popular Megaways slots include Bonanza, Extra Chilli, and Gonzo's Quest Megaways. Many other developers have created similar 'ways to win' mechanics (such as Playson, Red Tiger, and Pragmatic Play), but Megaways remains the most famous brand.
