What are Megaways Slots and RTP Explained
Megaways slots in the UK have made a real splash over the last decade. The concept was developed by Australian firm, Big Time Gaming, who sought to create a slot game engine that slot newbies could understand and embrace from the word go.
Unlike old-school slot games, Megaways casino slots don’t have fixed paylines. Instead, Megaways randomises its reel grid with every spin. This means that every spin can have a varied number of active rows on each reel. The minimum number of rows per reel is two, while the maximum is a whopping seven rows per reel. When each reel has seven active rows, the maximum number of Megaways is available.
To win on the reels of a Megaways slot game, you need to land clusters of matching base game symbols on the reel grid. So, you can see why it’s so important to have as many rows active per reel as possible!
The return-to-player (RTP) is the percentage of all wagered money a slot is theoretically estimated to pay back to players over the long term. Remember, this long-term RTP percentage is defined over hundreds of thousands of spins, so don’t expect your returns to mirror the RTP every session.
Megaways Slot Terms
Before you dive in and start spinning the reels of slot games at our Megaways casino, sift through our glossary of terms commonly used in these types of slots. Just so you can figure out what’s going on from spin one:
- Dynamic Reels Every reel in a Megaways slot is dynamic – the number of rows per reel can change with every spin from two rows to seven!
- Ways to Win Instead of paylines, wins are generated by matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right.
- Cascading Reels This slot mechanic means all symbols involved in winning clusters disappear, leaving gaps on the reel grid to be filled by new symbols. The replacement symbols ‘cascade’ down from the rows above. There is always the potential to land two cluster wins from a single paid-for spin thanks to this feature.
- Multiplier This is a bonus that can magnify your base game wins. The multiplier often rises 1x with every cascade that creates an extra cluster win.
- Random Modifiers These are special symbols that can appear and trigger features on the reels entirely at random.
- Volatility Volatility relates to how frequently a Megaways slot pays out. Highly volatile Megaways casino games are more likely to have bigger gaps between winning spins.

Megaways Slots FAQs
How do Megaways slots work?
In a Megaways slot, every spin generates a random number of active rows on each reel. This ranges from two to seven rows per reel. This creates an ever-changing number of win possibilities per spin – no spin is ever the same. Match clusters of symbols on the reels from left to right, and you’re in with a shot of a payout.
Are Megaways slots fair and random?
Yes, Megaways slots are fair and use certified random number generators (RNGs) to ensure each spin is completely random and independent. Licensed game developers like Big Time Gaming and the other studios BTG has licensed to use the Megaways engine must pass strict regulatory testing to ensure fairness. As long as you play at a licensed online casino like Sky Vegas, you'll find Megaways slots are as fair as any other regulated casino game.
Are Megaways slot games more volatile than traditional slots?
In general, you’ll find that most Megaways slots will have higher volatility than classic slots. The reason being that when the winning clusters do land, the payoff can be bigger than those on a fruit machine-style slot. It’s not always the same though, as some Megaways slots have medium volatility, resulting in more balanced reel outcomes.
