About Bandit Megaways
Bandit Megaways was released on 3 April 2025 according to SlotCatalog. Our entry carried 5 December 2024: the date has been corrected. The setting is a western of saloons and outlaws, ground Pragmatic Play has already ploughed at length.
The grid is a six-reel Megaways whose height varies on every spin, up to seven symbols per reel, which gives the classic maximum of 117,649 ways to win. The provider's own page confirms that figure, which was already correct in our database.
The engine rests on tumbles: the symbols of a paying combination disappear, the next ones drop in to fill the gaps, and the chain continues as long as a new alignment forms. The grid keeps the size of the initial spin throughout the sequence.
Then comes what gives the game its identity. Dynamite sticks land on the grid carrying a multiplier between 2x and 500x. Two rules matter here. First, when several dynamites take part in the same paying spin, their values are added together before being applied to the win. Second, and this is rarer, those multipliers already work in the base game: there is no need to wait for the bonus to benefit from them.
The free spins open on 4, 5 or 6 scatters, which award 15, 20 or 25 spins respectively. During the session, the dynamites behave differently: instead of applying to the current spin alone, every multiplier landed on a paying spin is added to a running total that never resets until the bonus ends. A session that starts slowly can therefore turn dangerous on its final spins, simply because the counter has climbed.
The retriggers are generous: 3 to 6 scatters landed during the session add up to 30 extra spins, which gives the total time to grow.
The reference RTP is 96.55%, the figure Pragmatic Play displays on its own game page, meaning €3.45 of theoretical margin per €100 staked. Two lowered settings circulate, at 95.55% and 94.56%. On the lowest one the margin climbs to €5.44 per €100 staked, with no on-screen indication whatsoever.
On rhythm, SlotCatalog measures a hit rate of 25.77%, roughly one paying spin every 3.88. That is comfortable for a high-volatility Megaways.
Stakes run from €0.20 to €240 per spin. Our entry announced €115 less — €125 — a value that recurs across a great many Pragmatic entries in our database without matching the game concerned. It has been corrected.
The ceiling is 5,000x the stake, meaning €1,000 at the minimum stake and €1,200,000 at the maximum, with a probability SlotCatalog estimates at 1 in 992,851 spins. That ceiling places the game in the lower half of the studio catalogue, whose median sits at 10,000x across the 634 titles listed at BetsRank.
Finally, two bonus buys are offered, where our entry listed only one. At 100x the stake you get the ordinary free spins, with dynamites starting at 2x. At 500x come the Super Free Spins: the same number of spins, but a multiplier floor raised to 10x. So you are not paying to play longer, you are paying to start higher. Both options are banned in the United Kingdom.
