Beware the Deep Megaways

Inside the game

Captured in the studio's own free demo on 8 September 2026. Nothing below is taken from a press release or another site — it is what the game shows when you open it.

The base gameA Megaways grid on the sea floor, caught on a low hand: only two large symbols on the first reel, three on the sixth, and a horizontal row of four symbols running beneath reels 2 to 5 — not above them, as elsewhere in this studio. The MEGAWAYS counter, gold-framed at the bottom right, reads 486, exactly the product of those heights. On the left, two weed-covered stone blocks: BUY FREE SPIN, with no price shown, and the ante bet at $2.50 for a better chance at the feature, its switch set to OFF while the bet in play is $2.00.
Game rules, page 1Page 1/9: ten symbols at the $2.00 bet, from the yellow warning sign — the only one to pay from two, at $1.00, and $10.00 for six — down to the 10 and the J at $1.00. Bottom left, the BONUS symbol is a rusted cage grate, present on all reels. On the right, two grids side by side, one ticked green and the other crossed red, and the sentence that describes the engine: reels 1 and 6 up to 7 symbols, reels 2 to 5 up to 6 plus one symbol on the bottom row, which spins independently, right to left — for a maximum of 117,649 ways to win.
Game rules, page 2Page 2/9, two symbols illustrated in two different places: top left the blue WILD shark, which lands only on the bottom row of reels 2 to 5 and carries a multiplier that swells a total shared by the whole tumble sequence — x2 to x25 in the base game, up to x100 in the free spins. Bottom centre, in a gold frame, the green seaweed MYSTERY: when it lands, every occurrence turns into the same randomly drawn paying symbol. Between the two, the Tumble takes up half the page.
Free spinsPage 3/9, text alone: four or more BONUS symbols open the feature, and a choice between two rounds then has to be made. This one, THE DEEP FREE SPINS, starts at 10, 12, 14 or 16 spins for 4, 5, 6 or 7 BONUS, each tumble raising a total multiplier by one step. Before it starts, a wheel lets the spins be gambled for more spins, and the panel prints the exact odds of each step up: 44.53% from 8 to 10 spins, 45.53% from 10 to 12, 46.30% from 12 to 14, 46.74% from 14 to 16.
Game rules, page 4Page 4/9: the second round, EVEN DEEPER FREE SPINS, built on the reverse logic — spins are no longer counted, a guaranteed multiplier is, 15x, 20x, 25x or 30x for 4, 5, 6 or 7 BONUS, and the round ends when that level is reached. The gamble wheel here plays for the multiplier, with its odds printed: 41.61% from 12x to 15x, 46.06% from 15x to 20x, 46.32% from 20x to 25x, 46.76% from 25x to 30x. The foot of the page restates the cap, 10,000x the bet.
Buy free spinsPage 5/9, a page of text, and not the purchase window its title would lead one to expect. At the top, the ante bet with two positions: multiplier 25x, more BONUS symbols on the reels but the purchase disabled, or 20x, normal play. Below, the two free spins purchase prices — 100x the total bet for a 4 or 5 BONUS trigger, 250x for 6 or 7 — followed by two blocks of gamble odds that differ from those on the previous pages: 27.86% from 12 to 14 spins and 60.35% from 14 to 16 in bought mode.
Game rules, page 6Page 6/9: under the heading, the wave icon and LOW VOLATILITY in yellow. No payline diagram, a Megaways has none. Eight RTP lines then follow, in minimum/maximum pairs: 96.52 to 96.54% for the game, 96.52 to 96.56% with the ante bet, 96.53 to 96.55% for the 4-5 BONUS purchase and 96.51 to 96.54% for the 6-7 one. The studio therefore publishes a range rather than a single figure, and the operator picks the tier. The bet limits close the page: $0.20 minimum, $300.00 maximum.
How to playPage 7/9: the controls notice, each icon drawn right into the line that explains it. The three bars open the settings, the three chevrons cycle the speeds — normal, quick, turbo — the speaker cuts the sound, the i opens the information. The round button starts the spin; the AUTOPLAY button, reproduced twice in its white outline, opens automatic play then stops it. The CREDIT and BET labels switch between coins and cash with a click.
