You can now find more than 220 online slot machines with Big Time Gaming’s Megaways game engine, but why are Megaways UK slots so popular? Let’s dive straight in and find out. 

What is the Megaways game engine?

The Megaways game engine is online slot machine technology that determines how many possible winning combinations the current spin will have, and it was first pioneered by Big Time Gaming over five years ago. 

With a 20-payline slot, you always know there will be 20 possible ways to win each time you hit the spin button. With a 243-win ways slot, you know that each time you hit the spin button, there are 243 possible ways to win, and so on. 

With the Megaways technology, it’s different. You never know exactly how many different winning combinations the next spin will have because it’s always random. 

Megaways slots usually have 5 or 6 reels that spin in the normal way (vertically, from top to bottom), plus an extra upper reel that spins horizontally from right to left above the main lower reels. 

Each reel has anywhere from 2 to 5 symbols, and each symbol comes in varying lengths. You will find that most Megaways slots today have 117,649 Megaways (different possible winning combinations per spin). 

Each time you hit the spin button, typically, there can be anywhere from 324 up to 117,649 different ways to win (aka Megaways). This is what makes the games so popular. 

Also, when you land a winning combo in most Megaways slots, those winning symbols disappear from view, making way for other new symbols to fall from above. 

The same process will repeat if another win lands, and it will keep on doing this, paying over and over until there are no more winning combos in view.
