Video transcript

Megaways games can change the number of symbol positions on each reel. Our simplified example has six reels with two, three, two, four, two and three positions. Multiply those heights: two times three times two times four times two times three equals two hundred and eighty-eight ways. On the next spin, only the first reel grows from two positions to three. The same calculation now gives four hundred and thirty-two ways. Ways count possible paths. They are not winning combinations or a prediction of profit. Matching symbols, qualifying reels and other rules still control payouts. Check the game’s paytable. Eighteen plus. Play responsibly.
