Megaways

Megaways is a random reel modifier mechanic developed by Big Time Gaming and licensed to many other providers. Instead of fixed paylines, the number of symbols on each reel changes with every spin, creating a dynamic number of ways to win — up to 117,649 on a standard 6-reel layout. Wins are formed by matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right. The Megaways mechanic is typically combined with a cascading/tumble feature where winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into place, allowing multiple wins from a single spin. Popular Megaways slots include Bonanza, Gonzo's Quest, and Big Bass Bonanza.
