Beware The Deep Megaways screens
Most players worry about misreading a win or a free spins round, so these screens show both.
Know each round
Primaplay lays out each round in order, so you see what your bet can do before you spin.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$300 before the first spin. The examples on this page use A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$1, and each one scales the money you win.
Count on up to 117,649 ways across six reels. Winning symbols tumble away and new ones fall in, so one spin can chain several wins.
Watch the bottom row for a WILD, which adds a random 2x to 25x multiplier that carries into later tumbles. A MYSTERY symbol then turns into a random paying symbol.
Land Scatter symbols and The Deep Free Spins start with 10 to 16 spins, depending on the scatter count and the Gamble Ladder. Each tumble adds 1x to a total multiplier.
Decide your limit before the first spin, because no one knows in advance how a session ends. At A$0.40 or A$1, the same budget buys a different number of spins.
Choose your bet first, because the Bonus Buy costs 100 times the stake, which is A$100 at A$1.
| Option | Total stake | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus Buy at 100 times | x100 · A$100 | – |
| Super Buy at 250 times | x250 · A$250 | – |
Check the RTP version before you stake, because it sets how much of every A$100 comes back in wins over a very long run. The version running here is shown in the game rules.
| RTP version | RTP | Usual choice |
|---|---|---|
| Version 1 | 96.53% | Unavailable |
| Version 2 | 96.52% | Supported |
| Version 3 | 96.51% | Unavailable |
Choosing your bet does not tell you when the bonus round will start. Nobody can know in advance how often it comes in Beware The Deep Megaways, and the result of one session is random whatever the RTP. An RTP of 96.51 per cent describes the return over a very large number of rounds, not your next session. Keep each session within the stake you can afford to lose.
Deciding whether the RTP version matters to you starts with the game rules, because only they show which version runs here. The three versions differ by very small margins, so that gap is minor next to the luck of a single session. Read the game rules before the first spin.
Deciding to chase the top prize is up to you, but the maximum win of Beware The Deep Megaways is a ceiling reached very rarely. Read it as the upper limit of the game, not as an expected result. The top figure is a multiple of your bet, so it rises in money as your stake rises.

Reader questions
You will have checked the RTP, top win and feature costs before you spin.
Read every mode of Beware The Deep Megaways on this page before you bet. The base game runs on a 6-reel Megaways grid, and the two free spins modes follow their own rules. Start small while you learn how the rounds run.
Check the three RTP versions of Beware The Deep Megaways before you play. Each version sits between 96.51% and 96.53%. A higher RTP returns more over time, but any single session can end far above or below that.
Look at the top win before you choose a bet size. The maximum win is x10,000 the bet, which is A$10,000 at the A$1 example top bet. At the highest bet of A$300 the same multiple pays up to A$3,000,000.
Plan for uneven results, because Beware The Deep Megaways has high volatility. Wins can arrive in bursts with quiet stretches between them, and nobody can tell in advance when the next big one lands.
Start with your budget, because the buy price is far above a normal spin. Bonus Buy costs A$100 and Super Buy costs A$250 at the A$1 example top bet, which is 100 and 250 times the bet. Both prices scale with the bet you choose.
Pick a bet between A$0.20 and A$300, the highest bet this market allows. The examples on this page use A$0.40, A$0.50 and A$1, but they are not the limits. Turn on the Ante Bet to pay 1.25 times your bet, so the A$1 example costs A$1.25.
Play only if you are 18+. In Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or register with BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a session limit before the first spin, and keep that money apart from bills.
Decide your stopping point before you start, and keep to it even after a big win.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account before you add funds to play this slot.
Take a break as soon as the game stops being fun, and self-exclude through BetStop if you need a longer pause.
