Bandit Megaways — Not on GamStop
Wild West Megaways from Pragmatic Play — tumbling reels and dynamite multiplier symbols worth up to 500× that add together, feeding a running multiplier in the free-spin round.
Mechanics & strategy
Bandit Megaways runs on the six-reel Megaways engine with an extra horizontal reel feeding the top row, for up to 117,649 ways to win that change on every spin. Wins form left-to-right on consecutive reels and clear with a tumble, so a single paid spin can chain several wins in a row.
The signature symbol is the dynamite multiplier: values up to 500× land in both the base game and the bonus, and when they take part in a tumbling win they add together and apply to it. Four to six scatters trigger the free spins (15, 20 or 25 spins), where collected multipliers build into a running total that carries across the feature; three or more scatters retrigger up to 30 additional spins.
RTP is 96.55% in the standard configuration, volatility is High, and the maximum win is capped at 5,000× the stake. A Bonus Buy is available where operators allow it — around 100× the stake for the standard free spins, or 500× for a super version where multipliers start higher. A bonus buy costs more per attempt and does not change the odds. 18+.

Illustrative, based on Bandit Megaways's published 96.55% RTP and 5,000× max win. Wins are shown as multiples of total stake; exact per-symbol paytable values are displayed inside the game. 18+. Outcomes are random — RTP is a long-run average, never a per-session guarantee.
Considerations
Bet sizing
Moderate bet sizing tracks the math model well. Hit-rate is steady but feature triggers cluster — sessions feel uneven without being punishing.
Session structure
Mid-length sessions typically resolve into either a bonus trigger or a meaningful clamping run. Base-game wins maintain bankroll between features.
Bonus access
Feature-buy is offered with separately certified RTP. The published buy RTP is usually within ±0.5% of the base figure.
