Megaways slots ranked by Stake wagers
Stake players bet more on 5 Lions Megaways 2 than on any other Megaways game last month, $41.01M. Pragmatic Play made 14 of the top 15. Bonanza, the 2016 Big Time Gaming game that started the format, is the only other one in there, in 6th place.
How the list was built
- Which games: every Stake slot with "Megaways" in its name, 146 of them, plus Bonanza, which Big Time Gaming calls a MEGAWAYS game though the name doesn't say so.
- Order: money wagered over the tracker's month window, as read on the evening of 12 Nov 2026 (bonushunt.gg provider analytics). Bonus buys are counted at what they cost.
- Stake rank: where the game sits among all 9,353 slots that took bets on Stake in the same month. Nothing here is a judgement on which game is better to win on.

Average bet = wagered divided by bets, so a bonus buy pulls it up. Configured RTP is the setting Stake runs, as the tracker reports it.
Bonanza and Merlin's Madness Megaways stand out in the average-bet column, about $16 and $15 a bet, against $2.07 for Megaways overall. Their bets are few but large. Pompeii Megareels Megaways is the opposite, five million bets at just under a dollar each.
Where the Megaways money goes
| Configured RTP | Titles | Share of Megaways wagers |
|---|---|---|
| 98% or more | 7 | 30.8% |
| 96.50% to 97.99% | 59 | 55.2% |
| 96.00% to 96.49% | 42 | 13.5% |

All 147 titles, grouped by us. The seven at 98% or more: Lucky Phoenix Megaways, The Dog Mansion Megaways, Madame Mystique Megaways, Lucky Phoenix Megaways 2, Zombie Academy Megaways, Merlin's Madness Megaways and Witch Blood Megaways.
If the format is what you're after, start with the 98% ones. Stake runs seven Megaways games at that setting and they take almost a third of all Megaways money there, Lucky Phoenix Megaways and The Dog Mansion Megaways the biggest of them. Settings like that aren't the norm everywhere, so check the paytable when you play these games anywhere else.

Five of them, one paragraph each
5 Lions Megaways 2
The sequel raises wild multipliers to 100x and the max win from 5,000x to 8,000x. Before the bonus begins you pick: 5 spins with 20x to 100x multipliers, 25 spins with 2x to 8x, or a mystery mix. Every three coins you collect add three spins and remove the lowest multiplier from the pool.
Bonanza
Big Time Gaming's gold mine from 2016 and still the model for the format, up to 117,649 ways on a spin with cascades after every win. On Stake it ranks 162nd among all slots, with fewer than 700,000 bets over the month yet among the largest bets per spin in this list.
Extra Chilli Megaways
Extra Chilli lets you gamble the free spins before they start. The first gamble is a straight 50/50, every one after it is tilted 60/40 your way, and you can push up to 24 spins. Feature Drop lets you buy into the free spins whenever you want.
Pompeii Megareels Megaways
In the 15 free games, each win is multiplied by the number of winning symbols on screen, tumbles included. Four or more scatters get you there. Stake runs it at 96.00%, on the low side for a Pragmatic Megaways game there.
Temple Tumble Megaways
Relax Gaming's one Megaways title in this list and the only one from outside Pragmatic and BTG. Relax's own description has stone blocks breaking while wins tumble, and the free spins let you choose which of three underground worlds you go into.
