Megaways
Megaways were born from an ambitious idea that Big Time Gaming had, in which the number of available paylines in online slot games would be substantially increased. Original slots had a single payline, but the development of online casino versions saw 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".
Since their creation, the dynamic Megaways patent has been licensed to other slot game providers such as Red Tiger, Blueprint Gaming, and SG Interactive. You can find a full list of Megaways slots at Bet UK on this page, but for more in-depth information about all of the games of this type and a general overview of how they work, visit our casino blog, where we have a guide to Megaways games.
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.

What Are Megaways Games?
Megaways games are online slot machines that offer more ways to win than traditional offerings.

Some popular slot franchises even have Megaways available, such as Rainbow Riches Megaways and Centurion Megaways.
Who Makes Megaways Slots?
Big Time Gaming are the slot game developers behind the Megaways phenomenon. However, they also license out their unique casino game structure, meaning that the likes of Red Tiger Gaming, Blueprint Gaming, and Inspired Gaming can create Megaways slots such as Gonzo’s Quest Megaways, Eye of Horus Megaways, and Reel King Megaways.
What Was the First Megaways Game?
Dragon Born was the first Megaways slot that Big Time Gaming released in April 2016, and gave rise to the hugely popular structure that dominates online casinos today. The Bonanza slot and Survivor slot are two more from the originators.
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. The fact that there are more paylines doesn’t require you to stake any higher than you usually would. It just means there are more chances to win cash prizes.
Why Should I Play Megaways?
If you’re someone that looks for games with the highest winning potential, then Megaways are likely to be of interest. With thousands of paylines in play on most spins, it’s little wonder that classic games like the 88 Fortunes slot are being given the Megaways treatment. You’ll also find that a lot of new slots take on a contemporary pop culture theme, while also incorporating the Megaways mechanic. This is notable in games such as Rick and Morty Megaways and Ted Megaways.
