On the reels, each spin changes the grid height, because every column stacks a different number of symbols. The Western theme brings bandits, cowboys and the card letters A, K, Q and J onto six reels. Three or more matching symbols in a row across the reels form a win. Winning symbols then cascade away through the Tumble feature, and new symbols fall in until no further win appears.
Four, five or six Scatter symbols on the reels start Free Spins with 15, 20 or 25 spins. Three to six Scatters during the round add 15 to 30 more spins. A Total Multiplier collects every Multiplier value that lands on a winning spin or tumble and multiplies that win. The background switches to a saloon, and the round is capped at 5000x the bet.

Clear picture before betting
Settles the order of events, from the bet you pick to the moment the session ends.
The reels wait until a bet is set, anywhere from A$0.20 up to A$240. Every win and feature below scales with that stake, so check the bet first.
Reels one and six show up to seven symbols, the middle reels up to six plus a top symbol, and matching symbols form wins across up to 117,649 ways.
Winning symbols drop away and new ones fall in, so one spin can chain several wins. Multiplier symbols land at random and their values add up before the win is paid.
Scatter symbols that land anywhere on the reels start the round: four bring 15 free spins, five bring 20 and six bring 25.
Spins keep running on the reels until you stop, so set a limit before the first spin. If play stops being fun, the National Gambling Helpline is on 1800 858 858.

Worried that trying the game will cost you money before you know how it plays?
The demo needs no money and pays nothing. The real game needs a Casino Room account and the legal age of 18+.
Start playingEach spin lands a new arrangement of symbols on the Megaways grid, and the reels give no sign of when the bonus round will start. How often it comes is not known in advance. Some sessions bring several triggers close together, others bring none at all. The result of one session is random, whatever the RTP.
Each spin on the grid follows the RTP version active on that site, and that version is shown only in the game rules. Read that section before the first spin, because the two versions of this title differ by a small margin. The paytable uses an A$1 bet, so each payout reads directly against the stake.
Tumbles, multipliers and free spins can add up within one bonus round, but the total is capped at x5,000 the bet. That ceiling is reached very rarely. Treat the figure as the upper limit of the game, not as an expected outcome.
Players must be 18+. Support is available from the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, and you can exclude yourself through BetStop.
Decide how much you can lose on Bandit Megaways before the first spin, and stop when that amount is gone.
Set the point where you stop before the first spin, and keep to it after a big win as well as after a loss.
Set a deposit limit and a loss limit on your account before you play, so the cap holds even when a session feels lucky.

Clear facts, fewer surprises
Casino Room gives every number on this page a plain meaning before you stake.
Bandit Megaways accepts stakes from A$0.20 up to A$240 per spin. The paytable on this page uses A$1 as its reference. Every win and feature cost scales with the bet you choose.
Bandit Megaways is a high volatility slot. Wins can be rare and large, and no one can predict when a feature lands. The maximum win is 5,000 times the bet, or A$1,200,000 at the top bet of A$240.
The rules are set out on this page before any stake is placed. The lowest stake is A$0.20 per spin, so a first session can start small. Use the paytable at A$1 to compare wins before you raise the bet.
Bandit Megaways comes in two RTP versions, 96.54% and 96.55%. RTP is the long-run return over many spins, not a promise for one session. The return per A$100 staked appears in the table on this page.
Bandit Megaways offers two paid features, both bought at a multiple of the total bet. Buy Free Spins costs 100 times the bet. Buy Super Free Spins costs 500 times and raises the minimum Multiplier value from 2x to 10x for the whole round.
