The historical figure, Gautama Buddha, known for his teachings of ‘The Golden Middle Way’ and ‘4 noble truths’, might not have approved of Buddha Megaways, a gambling game that doesn’t align with his ‘Noble Eightfold Path’. The game requires self-discipline and patience as it can quickly become monotonous. The audiovisual presentation is rather standard, though slightly better than Booongo’s Megaways debut, Aztec Pyramid Megaways.
In the game, the cascading win multiplier is likely to provide significant winnings only during the bonus round. There are between 2 and 7 symbol positions randomly assigned to all 6 reels per spin, creating 64 to 117,649 ways to win. You must have matching symbols on at least 3 adjacent reels starting from the left to win. The premium animal icon symbols pay between 2 and 10 times your stake.
The golden Buddha statue acts as the Wild, replacing all pay symbols to complete winning combinations, but holds no value of its own. Each win activates the Collapsing Symbols feature, removing all winning symbols from the grid and allowing new or existing symbols to cascade down and fill the gaps. This process continues until you stop winning, with the progressive win multiplier increasing by +1 per cascade.
Landing 3+ golden temple scatters triggers the Free Spins round, where you can win 10, 15, 20, or 25 free spins. You can also gamble for extra spins, with up to 30 free spins available to win. Non-UK players and those in eligible jurisdictions can use the Bonus Buy feature for 100x their stake, which guarantees 3+ scatters on the following spin.
Buddha Megaways is more colorful than Booongo’s debut Megaways game, Aztec Pyramid Megaways, but has several downsides. The max megaways feature has been removed and the 50,000x potential from the first release has been reduced to 12,500x your stake. The game’s main appeal is the cascading reels multiplier, active in the base game and bonus round.
The game also features other Megaways games like Thai Flower Megaways, Aztec Pyramid Megaways, and Fu Fortunes Megaways, each with their unique gameplay and payout systems.
