Megaways Slots

Almost everyone knows about classic slots and their easy gameplay, but you know what only a few people have tried? Megaways slots, with their 117,649+ winning ways. They were developed by Big Time Gaming and popularized by some of the best casinos, including the King Billy Casino. These unconventional slots now make up a sizable portion of our game portfolio, and we welcome you to try them for your entertainment, free demos, and real money.

Ever Played Megaways Slots?

First, what are Megaways slots? They are a development of BTG that was introduced into the gaming space in 2015 to spice up traditional slots. They use a patented mechanic that allows the number of symbols to change with every reel spin. This ability to change creates numerous winning ways that make this category of games the most volatile. Classic pokies have fixed paylines to manage their volatility, but the mechanism in this category changes the way matching symbols are recognized. You win by matching symbols in adjacent reels starting from the left, regardless of where they are in the reel. Three or more matches per reel is all you need to win.

Although Big Time Gaming founded this game category, it has licensed other developers to diversify themes and games that players can now enjoy at King Billy.

Here’s a list of Megaways slots at King Billy:

Buffalo King - Pragmatic Play
Aztec Gold - iSoftBet
Neptune’s Fortune - iSoftBet
Return of Kong - Blueprint Gaming
Buffalo Power - Playson

While we encourage our players to try this category, we are keen to remind you to be mindful of the volatility that could easily wipe out your bankroll.

How King Billy Casino Megaways Slots Work

Now, the mega reels. Megaways games have six reels, each with 2-7 symbols. Once you press ‘spin,’ the symbols are altered to form the numerous winning ways. So, if a reel has seven symbols (maximum), then all the symbols multiplied over all the reels (7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 7) result in 117,649 winning ways. Even crazier is that some slots like White Rabbit have more winning ways, thanks to a ‘feature buy’ option that allows you to extend reels for up to 10 symbols per reel.

These slots have other features like cascading reels, where winning symbols disappear and others show up in their place to give you consecutive wins. Bonus rounds, scatters, and multipliers are frequent additional features that could give you more bang for your buck.

Typical themes for Megaways casino games at King Billy include Adventure, Mythology, Fantasy, Classic Fruit, Wild West, Animals, Horror, Pop Culture, Mining and Gemstones, and Oriental.
