How Max Megaways Works

  1. Megaways reel heights change ways each spin — confirm the current ways counter.
  2. Free spins / multiplier features concentrate returns — check the Max paytable.
  3. 20,000× is a ceiling class, not a session plan.
  4. Bonus buy (where offered) shortens the wait without lowering risk.
