How this is worked out
Megaways slots change how many symbols land on each reel every spin, so the number of ways to win moves from spin to spin, often up to 117,649. The mechanic is licensed from Big Time Gaming and used by many studios. It makes the base game swingy, so the bonus round is where most of the value sits.
This list takes every slot our catalogue names or tags as Megaways and ranks it by our own results. Typical open is the middle result of every bonus we opened on that game during a live bonus hunt, as a multiple of the bet. 100x+ is the share of those bonuses that paid at least 100x. A slot needs at least 10 recorded opens to be ranked; ties go to the higher 100x+ rate.
These are past results, not predictions. Every bonus is random, and the full method is on the bonus hunt dataset page. For what volatility means for a session, read the slot volatility guide.
