MEGAWAYS™ SLOTS

The invention of the Megaways™ mechanic has been revolutionary within the online casino world, with Big Time Gaming responsible for such a successful innovation. If you want an accurate rundown of online slot games that feature the Megaways™ mechanic, stick around! We'll cover all you need to know about this superb addition to video slots that has only soared in popularity ever since it was invented in 2015.

WHAT ARE MEGAWAYS™ SLOTS?

The most glaring difference between Megaways™ slots online and traditional slots is that the number of symbols changes with every single spin. This means that there aren't any fixed paylines; instead, the Megaways™ mechanic uses the ways to win system.

When creating this brand new mechanic, Big Time Gaming wanted to overhaul the method by which wins are granted in online slots, that is, scrapping the idea of paylines and creating something more player-friendly in its place. Instead of compelling players to land identical symbols on a specific pattern, this game provider wanted to incorporate a more liberal approach to granting wins, and this is how the ways to win system came into effect.

Although players must still land matching symbols to win in Megaways™ slots, they can now do so anywhere on the reels and still receive a payout. Couple this system with the fact that up to seven symbols can appear on each reel, and what you've got is a casino game that is nothing short of entertaining!

This begs the question of how many possible winning combos can be formed in Megaways™ slots. The maximum number of ways to win is 117,649 but some Megaways™ titles are known to offer less than that.

KEY FEATURES OF MEGAWAYS™ SLOTS

Megaways™ slots offer a completely different gaming experience in comparison to classic casino games, which usually follow a very simplistic framework. Here are some of the most important features offered by Megaways™ games.

• The number of symbols changes with every spin.
• Payouts are granted through the ways to win function.
• Often includes cascading reels.
• Allows for more winning combinations than in classic slots.
• Free spins can make for interesting bonus games.

With regard to the Free Spins feature in Megaways™ slot games, there is a lot of room for game providers to come up with interesting in-game bonuses. Most Megaways™ games offer free spins in exchange for the usual Scatter symbol or two, but game providers can make things interesting by incorporating a multiplier that bounces around the reels — as happens in Hacksaw Gaming's Hop 'N' Pop.

This isn't to mention other fascinating bonus features that most Megaways™ slot providers have come up with, so feel free to browse around EnergyCasino's game portfolio to see what you can find.

HOW DOES THE CASCADING REELS FEATURE WORK?

Big Time Gaming didn't only pave the way for some great Megaways™ slots to be created by other providers who later bought a Megaways™ licence, but the Australian game provider also paved the way for some superb features to be incorporated within its creation. One such Megaways™ slots feature is called 'cascading reels'.

The premise of this feature is quite simple. Whenever players form winning combinations, all the symbols used to form the win will disappear and more symbols will fall in their place. This allows for another winning combination to be won during the same spin and it can continue as long as a sufficient number of symbols form part of a cluster.

Some Megaways™ games also include multipliers whenever winning combos are formed, thus making every subsequent cluster even more lucrative than the previous one.
