Megaways slots use a reel set where every reel draws a random height on each spin. Six reels with up to seven symbols each give 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 117,649 ways to win at the maximum. Most spins land far below that, and the game's return is set across all of them.
The mechanic was created by Big Time Gaming and is licensed to other studios, which is why the Canadian lobbies hold well over a hundred Megaways titles each.

What the ways count does and does not do
More ways mean more small wins and more cascades on a big spin. They do not mean a higher return: Power of Thor Megaways at 96.97% returns more than Extra Juicy Megaways at 96.42%, whatever the ways count on a given spin. The figures to compare are the RTP, the maximum win (a guide to volatility) and, if you buy features, the price.
Our arithmetic on the difference: CA$2,000 of spins costs about CA$61 in expectation at 96.97% and about CA$72 at 96.42%.

Buying the bonus
Most of the Pragmatic Megaways titles sell their free spins for 100 times the stake. Two rules apply at the casinos on our list. Hellspin's bonus terms cap bets at 5 EUR or USD while a bonus is active, and count purchased features as bets under that cap (clauses 1e and 3j): a 100x buy at 0.05 is already 5. And a bought bonus is still a spin of the same game at the same RTP, not a discount on it. More on bonus buy slots.
