About Megaways Slots Game

44 replies • Last post
Click to show this thread's original post ▼

Megaways is a new style of slot machine gaming made popular by big time gaming [BTG].

Throughout the journey of slot machine games, the trend to serve megaways games has become increasingly popular among well-known slot game providers, such as microgaming, blueprint, pragmatic play, isoftbet, redtiger, and many more.

Out of the many megaways slot games today, is there the best among them? Do megaways have a different RTP? , are they really easier to get the win compared to the classic style (1 - 4000plus ways)?

I would like to know from all of you about the megaways slot game, of course with your personal experience, do you like it? What game do you think is the best? and what was your best win?

Well, this streamer is one hot topic! There has been a lot of controversy about him using fake money (allegedly). But regardless, with 2eur bets, that's 4000eur in bonus buy which I just can't rationalize. And of course, I do believe that the game has great potential, but the question is- at what cost? You can buy many bonuses and one can pay out well, but is it worth the loss? I can definitely say I would feel so upset if I lost 400eur for one bonus buy!

I also heard rumors about him, even when I watched it live many people in the chat asked him about it. After I saw how San Quentin works, I felt that we had at least 5 times the cost of buying the bonus before we got the RTP of that bonus and found a big hit. but I haven't tried it myself so I can't come to any conclusion. have you ever tried to buy it blck?

I have only bought it in demo mode and that was enough for me to confirm it's not worth my budget.

I don't know who this streamer is, or any others for that matter as I don't watch any. However I have been told by casino managers that the vast majority - and especially the ones playing high stakes - are using money given to them by the casino that can never be withdrawn. It's effectively just advertising money for the casino and they recoup it via referrals from the streamer's viewers, with the streamer getting a cut.

The UKGC is supposed to be looking into these 2 things - streamers on fake money and feature buys. They were talking about banning feature buys a few years ago, I'm not sure if they have gone ahead though.

Always play it safe! Consult our list of rogue casinos and warnings before depositing at a new casino.

Which ones did you buy? I am guessing not the one with 2000x bet cost? I haven't played it yet but I like the theme. Regarding volatility, I am convinced I won't be buying bonuses on this one, way too expensive.

Somehow I missed the 2000x option in my earlier session...I would have bought it if I'd seen it. I'm completely withdrawn from Bitstarz right now so I just played the 2000x option in Fun Mode and broke even ($408 win on the $400 purchase).

Probably not one I'd buy for real money more than once.

aaha, that makes sense. because I myself often get hooked into casino to play after seeing those guys wrap up big wins. it's not even rare to play the same game or slot machine.
but sometimes I also feel it can be an additional reference for me to know about new slot games and how they work.

Yes I have heard this as well, that's why I don't like casino streamers and it feels very irresponsible to promote high bets. Speaking of UKGC- Yes, UK customers can't buy bonuses.

I agree with alot of the comments on megaways games I have tried out a number of different megaways games from various providers and it does come across as if BTG are the highest rtp as red tiger and netent seem to win alot less

Hi blck I played San Quentin early on or approx maybe a year ago.
Not knowing what to expect as the game looks quite crappy to me.
I am quite sure I did not buy a feature just depositing.
I deposited $40-+ put the spins on auto at a very low denomination .20 or .40 x 100 after what seemed an eternity when the 100 auto spins finished I carried on hitting the right sequence .
When you hit a winning collect it takes quite some time to pay out. $4-500
Have tried again at a higher bet level once and never again.

I've yet to experience any large payout from a megaways game, only the buy feature has gotten me the feature so far lol

San Quentin was released only in January, if that's the game you meant? But I don't but bonuses on it, yet I have had close to 1000x bet win from an organic bonus feature.

blck There must be another Game very similar that I played which happened to have jail related subjects.🙂
I must admit when you get or come close to these x1000 bet ones eyes light up.🤑

Some years ago I was having difficulties playing various Playtech games and allowed a casino operator at Casino .Com to fix my computer problems remotely which he did in about 5 minutes.
Once he solved all issues I had he asked me to try out a game and I picked the Buffalo game
Playing at $2.50 a spin on the first spin I received ALL Buffalo's and one star absolute max without bonuses. Am not sure who was more surprised myself or the Casino .Com technician
A very good 4 figure collect.
Never had it again but occasionally try.
