Max Megaways Megascatter and the Enhanced Feature

Recognising the complete Megascatter trigger

Max Megaways uses six reels and can display up to 117,649 ways. That figure describes the available ways to win, not the probability of a winning result. The Megascatter feature has a specific trigger: three Scatters start ten free spins, while each additional Scatter adds two more free spins. A Diamond Megascatter matters when it appears as part of that trigger. A Diamond on its own does not establish the complete feature trigger.

This distinction is useful when reading the result screen. First check the total number of Scatters, then check whether at least one of the triggering Scatters is a Diamond Megascatter. If that condition is met, the feature is Enhanced Free Spins rather than the normal version.

Normal and Enhanced Free Spins

The two versions differ at the feature-selection stage. The normal feature reveals two bonus doors. Enhanced Free Spins reveals three. The doors are connected to the bonus modifiers used during the free spins, so the number shown is an important part of identifying which feature has started.

The available modifiers are the same five-option map for this feature: Double Multiplier, Duplicating Wilds, Two-Scatter Retrigger, Increased Ways and No Lower Symbols. The supplied game information does not establish an optimal door choice, different probabilities between doors or a guaranteed outcome from any selection. Treat the doors as a feature presentation to read carefully, rather than as a decision with a proven best answer.

The five bonus modifiers at a glance

• Double Multiplier: adds two to the multiplier after each reaction.
• Duplicating Wilds: symbols below a Wild turn Wild.
• Two-Scatter Retrigger: provides a retrigger condition involving two Scatters.
• Increased Ways: gives at least five symbols on each reel.
• No Lower Symbols: removes Jack, Ten and Nine symbols.

These descriptions are a compact way to match the displayed door or modifier with its effect. They should not be read as a promise that one option will produce a particular result.

What can happen before the feature

Max Megaways also has four possible base-game bonuses: Maximum Megaways, Vertical Wild, Horizontal Wild and Wild Bomb. Maximum Megaways places seven symbols on every reel. Vertical Wild makes one full reel Wild, while Horizontal Wild makes extra-reel symbols Wild. After wins, Wild Bomb can replace symbols other than Scatters and the bomb. These bonuses can occur on base spins or reactions, and no frequency is supplied.

For a fuller explanation of those earlier mechanics, see the Max Megaways base-game bonuses guide. This page focuses on identifying the Megascatter trigger and separating the normal feature from Enhanced Free Spins.

A simple way to read the feature screen

1. Count the Scatters involved in the trigger.
2. Check whether at least one triggering Scatter is a Diamond Megascatter.
3. Confirm whether the screen presents two doors or three.
4. Match the displayed modifier with the five-effect map above.
5. Read the game’s displayed feature information before continuing.

This approach keeps the trigger, feature version and modifier separate. It also avoids treating the number of ways, the presence of a Diamond or the door presentation as evidence of a particular winning result.
