By Shane Addinall Feb 25, 2022 Game ReleaseFan-favourite software providers present exciting new releases in partnership with BTG and Megaways. We explore how the elements can bring fortunes, what Apollo knows about riches, and dig for gold nuggets with iSoftBet.Approximately 7 years ago, an Australian-based gaming company developed a feature that subsequently became one of the biggest hits in the industry. Big Time Gaming presented their Megaways mechanic for the first time in 2015 and when they paired it with their hit title, Bonanza, slots would change forever.
Most slot players would have encountered the genius of the Megaways mechanic by now and may prefer slot titles that include this potentially lucrative feature above standard slots. For the few who haven’t had the pleasure of spinning on one, the feature increases payways exponentially by randomly increasing rows of individual reels. The result? Up to 117,649 payways!
In this roundup, we explore some of the newest slots by big names in the igaming world who incorporate BTG’s brilliant Megaways mechanic.

Fortune With Five Elements
Punters discover a slot grid positioned in front of a decorated purple backdrop with traditional Chinese dragons and decorative frames surrounding the reels. Two separate grids make up the game and they complement the Oriental theme with a traditional eastern instrumental score playing continuously. The main slot grid has three reels and rows can grow to hold up to eight symbols in each reel.
Elementary Gems Megaways has a coin betting system, so be sure to check the coin level and bet level before clicking spin. Calculate the total bet by multiplying the coin value with the bet level and multiplying this total by 20. A minimum coin value of €0.01 is possible, with a maximum of €0.50. Bet levels can range between 1 and 10.
5 Zodiac elements — Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, and Metal – make up the lower-paying symbols and at least 3 of a kind need to land on the adjacent reels for a win to payout. With one blue water symbol in each of the reels, punters can expect a minimum return of 0.1x their stake. The red wood symbol pays at least 0.2x your bet and the green earth sign pays a minimum of 0.25x your stake for three of a kind. A purple metal sign and orange fire sign pay minimum returns of 0.6x and 1x your stake with three on adjacent reels. The Chinese temple is the highest standard paying symbol which pays a minimum of 1.5x your stake for three of a kind.
An ornate gold and silver Yin and Yang symbol represent the Wild which substitutes all other symbols and awards the highest return with 2.5x for three of a kind. To the right of the slot grid, punters will find a single Win Multiplier reel with a locked-in frame in the centre. For a more laid back experience, select the autoplay* function and let the computer do the clicking for you.
Note: Some regions may not have the autoplay function available to them.
Bonus Generating Elementary Spins
With every spin, the Win Multiplier reel rolls as well to reveal how much it will increase the total win. These start from an underwhelming 1x multiplier, but the potential grows all the way up to an explosive 100x for huge wins. This feature is active during all rounds, making the base game more lucrative.
There is a possibility that all positions on the grid could be filled with stacked symbols of the same kind. With the win multiplier of up to 100x and the Wild symbol’s payout value, this is how lucky punters will get to the €500,000 maximum payout. Place your bet and click spin. May the forces of the elements generate ever favourable odds for you.
