Max MegaWays 3 – BTG’s Latest 100,000x Slot Keeps the Series on Top

Big Time Gaming loves an iconic and thrilling 007-theme. So it continues its Max MegaWays series with a third installment, bringing back the spy theme alongside new mechanics. Following the releases of Max MegaWays (2022) and Max MegaWays 2 (2023), Max MegaWays 3 adds the Megadozer, while maintaining the high volatility and oversized win potential that defines the series. Watch out for the official release across Big Time Gaming casinos on February 19th and keep note of these game highlights.

Base Game Features

Like its predecessors, Max MegaWays 3 plays on a 6-reel setup with up to 117,649 ways to win. The biggest change is the Megadozer feature, creating cascading symbol reactions that push multipliers further than before. This mechanic, previously seen in Danger High Voltage 2 and Bonanza Falls, gives a fresh variation to the traditional MegaWays format. We think it’s also gaining momentum to become the studio’s next big hit.

The base game also retains familiar elements such as Maximum Megaways, Wild Bombs, and Multiplier Wilds, with the new Megadozer Wilds adding a fresh layer of potential.

Free Spins

Triggering 3 or more Scatters activates the Free Spins feature, starting with 10 Free Spins. If a Megascatter is part of the triggering symbols, 15 Free Spins are awarded instead. Before Free Spins commence, players select two secret doors, unlocking two random Free Spins bonuses.

Bonus Features

Each Free Spins session includes two randomly chosen bonuses from the following options:

• Bonus Wild – A Wild is added to the reel and may display a multiplier of up to x10.
• Multiplier Symbol – A random symbol is added to the reel, counting for multiple instances.
• Increase Multiplier – The Win Multiplier increments by 1.
• Extra Spins – Every third ‘Extra Spins’ coin awards 2 extra Free Spins.
• Increase Ways – The reel expands to display 7 symbols.

Special Bets

• Win Exchange – Allows players to gamble wins above a certain threshold for a shot at Free Spins, as seen in Wild Portals.
• Bonus Buy – Purchase 10 Free Spins for 100x the stake or 15 Free Spins for 200x the stake.

Game Stats

Here are some more noteworthy game stats:

• Max Win: 101,830x stake – Ranking in BTG’s top 10 highest-paying slots, behind Fireworks MegaWays (150,335x) and Max MegaWays 2 (147,620x), but still one of BTG’s largest max exposures
• Volatility: Very high
• RTP: 96.35% - 96.36% at its highest, placing it in line with other BTG slots. But, watch out for casinos that offer versions with 94.16% or 86.30% (eg Germany)
• Bonus Buy: Yes (100x or 200x stake options)
• Win Exchange: Available.

Final Thoughts

Max MegaWays 3 builds upon its predecessors while integrating Megadozer to increase volatility and win potential. It continues the series' trend of oversized win potential, with its 101,830x max win ranking among BTG’s biggest slots.

For those who enjoyed Max MegaWays 2, or are looking for something fresh after Burgers MegaWays’ lighter gameplay and the jackpot-style twist of Golden Goose MegaWays, this latest entry is a solid choice. However, if you’re seeking a game that exceeds the 147,620x max win of its predecessor, this one doesn’t quite reach the same peak (also looking at you, 500,000x Tombstone Slaughter).
