Megaways pokies replace fixed paylines with a variable reel system. Each reel can show a different number of symbols on every spin, and the total number of ways to win changes with it. A six-reel setup where each reel shows between two and seven symbols produces anywhere from 64 to 117,649 ways to win on a single spin, and larger configurations push even higher.
The mechanic changes the pace of the game. Wins land more often than they do on a 20-line pokie because any matching symbols on adjacent reels from left to right count as a win, regardless of position. The trade-off is that individual payouts tend to be smaller unless a bonus multiplier, cascading sequence or free-spin round amplifies them.
Our Megaways section pulls titles from several studios. Each one licenses the engine and builds its own theme, math model and bonus structure around it, so no two Megaways pokies play the same way. Some pair the variable reels with a cascading mechanic where winning symbols disappear and new ones drop in, while others add an extra horizontal reel across the top that creates additional winning combinations.
If you enjoy pokies where the payline count is never the same twice and the potential ceiling on any given spin is high, this section is where to start. Filter by provider using the headings below to see which studios have contributed to the catalogue.
