Also known as: Megaways engine
A slot engine invented by Big Time Gaming (BTG) and licensed to most major providers. On each spin, each reel deals a random number of symbols (typically 2 to 7), so the total number of ways to win changes spin-to-spin. The maximum layout (6 reels × 7 symbols) gives 117,649 ways.
Megaways slots are almost always high-volatility. Big potential wins, long dry stretches. RTP is usually mid-range (~96%), though provider variants exist.
