Poll Your top 5 megaways ?

[The Viking]

We all know Bonanza but figure it would be cool to see what other play as there are so many around now
for thos who give me there favorite before 1PM saturday i will give them a bash this weekend
lets see who comes out on top

 

[bamberfishcake]

Forget Megaways, play PG Softs versions like Rise of Apollo and Jurassic Kingdom. The mechanic is called Wilds-On-The-Way and there are around 6 titles I have found. Find them much better than Megaways but with similar gameplay.

But, to answer your question, here are the three that don't scare me and my bank balance:

White Rabbit
Genie Jackpot Megaways
Primal Megaways

 

[Fiekie247]

I prefer MW slots with no bonus buy feature, it plays better in the base game, well for me at least.

Primal Megaways - Blueprint
Who wants to be a Millionaire - BTG
Odin infinity Reels - Reel Play
Dragon Fire Megaways - Red Tiger
Maze Escape Megaways - Fantasma

 

[SCATT3R]

I think the Blueprint ones like Safari Gold, Primal, or Big Cat King to name just a few are really well done but I've more or less given up on them since they mostly take an eternity to bonus and even then they have the audacity to only give a 20x or so.

I like best the "classic" Pragmatic Play ones. Nice design, nice graphics, nice sound effects, easy to distinguish the symbols, good feature frequency, occasional great wins. The newer ones not so much.

I couldn't name a top 5 list, but I can easily name top 1, and frequenters of the "Winner Screenshots" threads will already have guessed it:
Great Rhino Megaways

 

[satchnz]

Buffalo King Megaways only because it’s given me two max wins so far…

 

[itsme123]

Diamond Mine
Extra Chilli
Bonanza
Lil Devil
Big Bass Megaways

Preference is definitely for Diamond Mine I’ve had many more x100 plus wins on it though I’ve had my biggest x win on Bonanza , 5400 x on a 20p bet.

 

[Pixie]

Who wants to be a Millionaire - BTG
Christmas Carol Megaways - Pragmatic
Mammoth Gold Megaways - Pragmatic
Great Rhino Megaways - Pragmatic
The Dog House Megaways - Pragmatic

 

[EkJR]

Buffalo King Megaways only because it’s given me two max wins so far…

I don't think that game ever gave me a bonus over 150X and I'm not kidding. I must have bought literally hundreds in the hope that it must be good at somepoint.

 

[CC07]

I quite like Curse of the Werewolf Megaways by Pragmatic. Can be quite volatile but have had some big wins in the base game and I like that the free spins round is different to the normal increasing multiplier mechanic ?

 

[johnnymcc1966]

Opal Fruits
Bonanza (sometimes!)
Diamond Mine
Bonanza Christmas
Outlaw

 

[nuera007]

1. Bonanza
2. Bonanza
3. Bonanza
4. Bonanza Christmas
5. Bonanza Falls

 

[satchnz]

I don't think that game ever gave me a bonus over 150X and I'm not kidding. I must have bought literally hundreds in the hope that it must be good at somepoint.

It treats me quite well but I play with the enhanced bet OFF. Gave me a modest 213x bonus last weekend.

Lucky sod

In 5 years of playing, I am yet to hit a max win on anything.

Play around 3/4 times per week, and reckon I must get several wins a year that break the 1,000x-win barrier.

Perhaps I should play more Megaways.

 

[X-Raided]

Who Wants To Be a Millionaire by BTG wins hands down in my book, followed by Danger! High Voltage.

Third place goes to Primal Megaways by Blueprint, even though Bitstarz Scaled-down their Blueprint offerings to about 5 slots from them with the only megaways from Blueprint available to play there being that silly Donkey Kong one which I don't like.

 

[slotmaster]

ive really enjoyed playing 5 frozen charm megaways recently anyone else?

Yes I thought it was o.k., have not played it overly much though.

 

[jasonuk]

I agree that Blueprint found something that BTG didn't (*cough* bonus guarantees *cough*) - Primal is one of the best out there; WWTBAM would have been difficult to screw up given the iconic music but BTG did a good job incorporating the show features into the bonus round; White Rabbit was a great game but also opened the bonus buy hellhole; and as much as I avoid Pragmatic, Curse of the Werewolf was a well-executed variation of Pink Elephant.

As an aside, it's telling how diluted the "megaways" branding has become that quite a few suggestions in this thread aren't megaways slots... although to be fair, there are slots out there that have paid for "megaways" in the title that wouldn't be considered megaways slots either ?

I'm still amazed how it's done so well though - the potential was misleading (and often still is), and the only part of it that seemed new is the top box as a way to disguise how bent the reels were doing that odd-even stuff all the time. Now-a-days I'm more likely to avoid megaways games, if you need the branding as a crutch (BTG aside, since it's their brand) then you probably don't have enough of a game worth playing.

I’ve also hit a base game spin max win on Fruit Party. I play once per week on average, and have only been playing for four years (online slots that is). Minimum stakes and £50/$60 deposits.

I am pretty lucky overall, and I have pre-set limits on each slot I play which seems to be working for me.

I made bank nearly every month for almost two years. That was from £20/30 deposits.

Never searched for a bonus, just played the balance. This sounds far-fetched, even to me now, but my pal and I used to do 10 spins on a slot and then leave if it was not paying. Our go-to games that spring to mind were Gonzos Quest, Jack and the Beanstalk, Immortal Romance, Dead or Alive, Gemix, Sweet Alchemy, etc.

Year three RTP nerfing took effect. Didn't affect me too much but I definitely felt duped for a while after realising it was probably affecting my game time and withdrawals.

Now I sometimes depo 50 or 100, (occasionally 200 if I am feeling frisky and there is an attractive bonus on the table) betting bigger, chasing bonus rounds and trying new games. I don't make as many withdrawals. 2023 was my worst year yet. Not problematic, but noticeably different.

Though slots are random it is undeniable there is a strategy to managing your money, choosing games, and also how long you stay on them or are prepared to commit. I am hunting bigger wins nowadays, and as a result, am prepared to lose a little more and play tougher games.

Never really played Pragmatic funnily enough.

When you say 'preset limits' do you mean that you set a budget on each slot? how much do you give on average?

Edit. Silly me.. Danger! High Voltage isn't actually a megaways slot, is it

 

[X-Raided]

Then technically, you should be playing nosebleed variance NoLimit City slot.

It goes something like this…

Deposit 50.00. Play first slot until one of the following happens:
- lose 10.00 (balance goes down to 40.00)
- win enough for balance to reach 60.00
- get bonus (and leave regardless of outcome)

Let’s say that at the end of this cycle my balance is 43.00. I rinse and repeat (limits being down to 33.00 or up to 53.00 or bonus achieved).

I never ever increase my bet. Always bet 0.20 or 0.25/0.30 if 0.20 is not available. Never ever higher than that.

This approach seems to work ok for me, and it allows me to play multiple slots with my deposit.

Holy Diver, Beef lightning, White Rabbit, Outlaw, I like megaways games which use unique ideas, cant stand the bonanza clones.

I was, at one time, one of their biggest fans.

Pre-Deadwood I still like, anything after that, bar one or two, feels like flogging a dead horse to me. Trouble is, being UK, most are nerfed versions where I play so plenty of others to choose from. I don't entertain sub-standard RTP versions.

Chuck in extortionate bonus buys, apparent five scatter trigger on San Quentin impossible to hit in the base game, stupid feature that voids wins below bet size, and seemingly lacklustre effort to impress the player anymore (just my impression), I don't entertain them now.

I like Hacksaw. Most of their bonus rounds have paid me well, so I have been hunting. May go back to the way I used to do things - doesn't pay to go bonus hunting, unless you're a streamer, especially on Hacksaw.

I don't mind. My money, my choice. Just chewing the cud and may go back to being not so greedy Might land that max win when I am not searching for it - was always that way when pulling birds ?

Thanks for sharing. This is a much better approach than hammering the same game all night - if you can manage to go all night nowadays.

Speaking not just from my own experience, but from what I know of gambling, discipline is key to making more money having more fun.

Well put.

Nolimit City have really out did themselves with one of their latest abominations called Nine to Five... with a maxwin bonus buy where you get one shot to either land it or lose X1400 or so stake to purchase it. Absolutely disastrous.

 

[KasinoKing]

I hardly play any megaways slots regularly... well only one really.
Have tried a few others, but never got hooked on them like I have with The Genie.
And the Genie loves me too ?

Oh wow. Not had the pleasure of that one. Not my cup of tea. Sounds like another game developed to grab headlines with streamers to tap into Gen Z.

Would rather hit red or black at the casino and make a night of it

But at least the completely unbiased absolutely not paid for reviews gave it 8/10+ ratings, so can't be too bad ? . I guess I shouldn't be surprised when they're giving straight clones from their favoured providers equal or higher ratings than the actual provider that designed something different (or worse, gets accused of being the copy - it's happened to Novomatic before ).

Also, if the information out there is accurate, Bonus Buy Parody put something like 7% RTP into that max-win as well... so you're playing a 87% slot with a 7% jackpot contribution in essence. I doubt many non-progressive slots - megaways or otherwise - puts anywhere near that percentage into their biggest wins (and it's probably true of some progressive slots as well - Blueprint's JPK is often 0.5% to 1% contribution after all).

 

[L&L-Jan]

1) Primal
2) Genie Jackpots Megaways
3) Primal

Bonanza
Vegas megaways ( millionaire clone )
Diamond mine 2

 

[X-Raided]

I was playing my top favorite Megaways, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.. and remembered ONE THING that triggers me every time.. It's when you get the bonus round, start off with 8 spins, gamble for that extra two spins and lose without a bonus round and left holding your dick, because you listened to the "audience" and chose B, which is the highest percentage of 86% only to lose.

I had two back to back bonuses without any free spins because I listened to the audience and chose the highest percentage answer... Absolute dog shit.

(Still love the slot though )

Sounds like a losing project, mate! Nearly each one of these takes more than 150 spins to bonus so you'll be depending on some good base game hits which may or may not occur.

Great Rhino Megaways, for instance, bonuses once in about 175 spins on average (based on personal experience) - and that is with the extra chance enabled. And I'm sure that one's among the most feature generous in your list.

If I were doing such an experiment, I'd play them untill the bonus comes in, extra chance on, but no more than 250 spins.

Anyway, wish you the best of luck! ?

yep that might be so ? i thought about it line you said but figure im still generous with 150 spins. as i never play each that long unless its giving out good base game hits ?

 

[KasinoKing]

You'll be OK with my Genie then - it's surprisingly low-ish variance in the base game and you SHOULD get at least 2 or 3 instant "mini-features" in 150 spins - which CAN (if you're incredibly handsome like me) pay HUGE, like this...

KK

 

[The Viking]

well started with Primal didnt go all that well and despite a 40x base game win still well down
is still one of my fav Megaways though.

 

[The Viking]

still no bonus another 20 down after bonanza

 

[The Viking]

and Genie was a shocker not even 1 random feature in 150 spins

 

[KasinoKing]

and Genie was a shocker not even 1 random feature in 150 spins

You're clearly not handsome enough... ?

But seriously - I'm shocked at that shocker

KK

 

[The Viking]

Great Rhino gave me 2 features picked random gave me 10 spins at 1x both times
at least im ahead for once

 

[The Viking]

No bonus at Dimond so only extra chilli to save the day

 

[The Viking]

ended up 120 bux down after all this not the result i wanted but hey thos are HV slots

 

[Reelsoffun]

Just out of interest where are you playing chilli with the coins still? as VS no longer has coins and I miss it, grinding out the coins was nice, even tho I told them via support they can still use it without breaking UK rules They seem reluctant to put it back even tho they kept the coin version of white rabbit! So sure it was an error removing it. @Team.Videoslots @Mr Wild

Maybe our Great Rhino expert @Scatter Can tell us what bonus to pick for the GR megaway? I've been meaning to ask.

 

[KasinoKing]

and Genie was a shocker not even 1 random feature in 150 spins

Had a go myself tonight and at first I thought you had broken the game!

Took me over 100 spins (probably around 120 I think) to get the "instant feature" - then I got it 3 times in about 25 spins AND also one of those FRICKING ANNOYING teasers, when the Genie pops his head up, but then fucks off
Anyway, the first 2 were poor, but I was more optimistic when the 3rd one was the Genie Wilds that I had that huge win from... but sadly it only gave me 48x
Never mind - it was fun and I only lost bet x20 overall.
