How The Megaways Engine Works
This slot runs on a 6-reel Megaways grid where each reel holds between 2 and 7 symbols per spin. That dynamic setup means win ways shift constantly – from a floor of 364 ways up to the full 117,649. An extra four-symbol reel spins horizontally above the main grid, adding another layer to the action.
Winning combinations trigger tumble mechanics: all participating symbols vanish, the rest drop, and new ones cascade down from above. This continues until no fresh wins appear. Cascades can chain fast when the symbols align.
Symbols And Payouts
The paytable spreads across 11 symbols. Card ranks (9, 10, J, Q, K, A) are the lows, paying 0.1x to 0.8x the bet for 3-6 matches. The five animal premiums – Deer, Wolf, Puma, Eagle, and Bear – climb steeply. Bear is the top regular, hitting 1x / 2x / 5x / 10x for 3-6 of a kind.
| Symbol | 3 Matches | 4 Matches | 5 Matches | 6 Matches |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9, 10, J | 0.1x | 0.2x | 0.3x | 0.5x |
| Q, K, A | 0.1x | 0.3x | 0.5x | 0.8x |
| Deer | 0.2x | 0.4x | 0.6x | 1x |
| Wolf | 0.3x | 0.5x | 0.8x | 2x |
| Puma | 0.4x | 0.6x | 1x | 3x |
| Eagle | 0.5x | 1x | 2x | 5x |
| Bear | 1x | 2x | 5x | 10x |
Buffalo Wilds And Multipliers
Buffalo symbols act as Wilds, substituting for any other symbol to complete wins. They land only on reels 2-5 and the extra upper reel. The key: every win involving a Buffalo is doubled. No standalone payout – they exist to multiply what’s already there. Sharp tool when the cascades start stacking.
Free Spins Bonus And Retriggers
Land 3 or more Canyon Scatter symbols anywhere on the grid to trigger Free Spins. A bonus wheel spins to determine your starting package: 5 to 15 free spins paired with a random multiplier between 2x and 25x. All wins during the feature are multiplied by that value.
Hit 3 Scatters again during the feature and you retrigger. A fresh spin count and a new multiplier are awarded and added to your current total. Retriggers stack with no ceiling – theoretically, you can keep building the multiplier higher and higher. This is where the x6000 max win lives.
Bonus Buy And Chance x2 Bet
Skip the base game grind and jump straight to Free Spins by buying the feature at 90x your bet. You’ll receive a random spin count and multiplier immediately.
Alternatively, enable Chance x2 to boost your odds. This option bumps your total bet by 50% but doubles the frequency of Scatters on the reels, making Free Spins triggers more likely. Choose your risk carefully.
| Feature | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus Buy | 90x bet | Instant Free Spins with random spin count and multiplier |
| Chance x2 | +50% to bet | Double Scatter frequency; Free Spins odds doubled |
RTP / Volatility / And Bet Range
Enabling Chance x2 lowers the return to 96.87%.
Volatility is High. Wins land roughly once every 3.42 spins, and the bonus triggers theoretically once per 136 spins. Bet from 0.1 to 20 per spin, or up to 52.5 when using Bonus Buy. Maximum payout is x6000 the stake.
