Megaways
Original slots had a single payline, but the development of online casino versions has seen that number rise into the hundreds. Not satisfied with that, Big Time Gaming created a mechanic that would offer up to 117,649 paylines on every single spin of the reels. They dubbed this new format, "Megaways", and you can find a full list of available Megaways slots at Bet UK right here.
About Megaways
Megaways slots are an innovative style of online casino game that offer far more winning potential than standard slots. The brainchild of Big Time Gaming; Megaways generally allow for up to seven symbols to land across each of the six reels on any spin. This means that there are up to 117,649 paylines in play across most Megaways casino games. However, that’s not always the case, as the likes of Eye of Horus Megaways only have 15,625 maximum paylines.
That said, Spartacus Megaways offers up to one million paylines. If you thought that was the limit, you’ll have been mistaken, as Odin Infinity Reels Megaways can lead to an infinite number of winning ways on every spin. Now you can begin to see why Megaways slots are so popular.

How Do I Play Megaways?
Playing Megaways games is largely the same as playing any other slot. You select your bet value for each spin, then play as many rounds as you choose.

If you’re someone that looks for games with the highest winning potential, then Megaways are likely to be of interest.
