How Megaways works

The mechanic and the newest examples

Megaways is a reel system in which the number of symbols on each reel is set again on every spin. On one spin a reel is packed with small symbols, on the next the same reel holds only a few. There are no fixed paylines: a combination counts as soon as matching symbols land on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel and regardless of the row. The number of ways to win is the product of the symbols on each reel. The fuller the reels, the larger that product: with every reel filled, the count reaches well over a hundred thousand ways, the ceiling the provider data lists for most titles on this list. Hell Chef uses a shorter grid and therefore has a clearly lower maximum.

The mechanic was developed by Big Time Gaming. Other studios use it under licence, which is why the Megaways name appears in this list on titles from, among others, Red Tiger, Pragmatic Play, iSoftBet, Reel Play, Kalamba Games, Blueprint and MGA Games. The core is the same everywhere: changing reel heights and wins counted in ways. What differs is what a studio builds around it, such as the type of wilds, the structure of the free spins or a separate round with fixed jackpots.

Because the number of ways changes from spin to spin, the value of a spin varies a lot too. A spin with short reels counts few combinations, a spin with full reels can reach well over a hundred thousand. The figure in the provider data is the ceiling of the grid; on most spins the actual number of ways is a good deal lower.

Inferno slots with Megaways

All slots, newest first

According to the provider data, 6 inferno slots with their own page run on a Megaways grid, plus 3 related slots without their own page.

5 of the 6 titles on this list pair the shifting grid with cascades: winning symbols vanish, new ones drop in and the grid is rebuilt within the same spin. Hell Chef is the exception; there the focus is on collecting energy symbols. Beyond that you will find random multipliers and symbol swaps in Judgement Day Megaways, sticky and walking wilds in Olympus Hades Megaways, and a Hold and Win round with fixed jackpots in Armageddon Megaways. Gems Inferno Megaways combines Hold and Win with respins, while Play With the Devil Megaways has a collector that picks up cash values.

Cards: highest RTP first, only slots with their own page; the table lists every slot.

Megaways: max win and volatility

Max win per volatility level

The group sits at the risky end. Most titles are recorded as high volatility (4); the medium-high group (2) consists of Gems Inferno Megaways and Armageddon Megaways. Max win varies widely; in the table you will find the lowest ceiling in Hell Chef and the highest in Judgement Day Megaways. That gap does not come from the grid alone. A large number of ways increases the combinations per spin, but the big outliers only appear when cascades and climbing multipliers keep running for a long time.

So do not compare the ceiling alone. A high max win tells you what a full sequence can pay, not how likely it is. Look at volatility and the RTP column next to the max win; for slots with an RTP range the version you play may differ from the figure in the table. The highest ceilings belong to Judgement Day Megaways and Olympus Hades Megaways, which combine cascades with multipliers.
