How to Play Stargate Megaways

Stargate Megaways is an online slot game developed by Light & Wonder, incorporating audiovisual assets from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. Designed with six reels and utilising the Megaways mechanic, the game offers a dynamic experience where the number of symbols per reel varies with every spin. This results in a changing number of possible ways to win each round, as displayed after every spin. Each game outcome is generated independently. The minimum bet is £0.20 and the maximum bet is £0.80. The return to player (RTP) figure is available for reference within the game.

Understanding Megaways and Win Mechanics

  • On each spin, symbols can appear in different sizes, leading to a fluctuating number of ways to win.
  • Winning combinations trigger cascading symbols, with the winning ones removed and replaced by new symbols, which can result in consecutive wins (cascades) within a single round.
  • Wins are assessed before each cascade, and payouts are credited once no more cascades remain in that spin.

Payouts and Symbols

Payouts are calculated based on the bet and the number of matching symbols appearing on adjacent reels, starting from the leftmost reel. Only the highest win per combination is awarded, and wins on different ways are combined for the total spin result. The payout table is as follows:

Character and Item Symbols

  • Character 1: £8.00 (6), £3.20 (5), £1.60 (4), £0.80 (3)
  • Character 2: £3.20 (6), £1.60 (5), £0.80 (4), £0.40 (3)
  • Character 3: £1.60 (6), £0.80 (5), £0.40 (4), £0.20 (3)
  • Item 1 (e.g. Medallion): £1.20 (6), £0.60 (5), £0.32 (4), £0.16 (3)
  • Item 2 (Pyramid): £1.20 (6), £0.60 (5), £0.32 (4), £0.16 (3)

Playing Card Symbols

  • A, K: £0.64 (6), £0.32 (5), £0.16 (4), £0.12 (3)
  • Q, J: £0.48 (6), £0.24 (5), £0.12 (4), £0.08 (3)
  • 10, 9: £0.40 (6), £0.16 (5), £0.08 (4), £0.04 (3)

Special Symbols

  • Wild Symbol: Acts as a substitute for all symbols except the Eye of Ra symbol.
  • Eye of Ra Symbol: Appears only on reel 6 during Free Spins. This symbol resets the Free Spins count but can only do so if there have been fewer than 20 cascades during Free Spins.

Trail Feature and Base Game Modifiers

Stargate Megaways includes a trail feature exclusively in the base game, which comprises nine segments. Each winning cascade during a spin increases the trail by one segment. The trail resets after every spin, with a maximum of nine segments possible per spin.

  • When the trail reaches 5 cascades, a random modifier activates.
  • Achieving 7 or more cascades on the trail triggers the bonus game.

Modifiers at 5 Cascades

  • Random Wilds: Adds up to 6 wilds to reels 2 to 5.
  • Expand Reel(s): Increases the number of symbols up to the maximum Megaways (117,649).
  • Wild Reel: Turns one of the reels (2 to 5) into a wild reel.
  • Mystery Symbols: Up to 10 symbols on the matrix are turned into the same symbol.
  • Regenerate: Clears the board, allows symbols to drop down with the same Megaways, and triggers a respin.

Bonus Game and Free Spins Enhancements

Reaching the 7th or higher segment on the trail awards entry into the bonus game. The number of Free Spins awarded depends on the segment achieved: 5, 6, or 7 Free Spins.

  • Players receive 7 picks from a selection of 15 doors. Matching symbols in these picks grant modifiers that remain active throughout Free Spins.
  • Free Spins are played automatically at the same bet as the triggering spin.
  • Free Spins can only be retriggered through the Eye of Ra symbol, and only within the first 20 cascades of the round.

Bonus Game Modifiers

  • Additional Free Spins: Win from 1 to 25 extra spins.
  • Win Multiplier: A multiplier is awarded, multiplying winning combinations during Free Spins.
  • Ways Increase: Each subsequent spin ensures more ways to win.
  • Reincarnate: The Eye of Ra symbol resets the Free Spin count up to 20 cascades.
  • Cash Prizes: Cash amounts awarded range from x5 to x50 of the total bet (Trail 7) and from x5 to x100 of the total bet (Trail 8/9).
  • Wild Gates: Adds wild symbols to the top reel.
  • Expanding Wilds: Wilds on reels 2 to 5 expand to occupy the entire reel.
