Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ review overview

Ways, Book and height

Each reel shows 2–7 symbols. Wins need matching symbols on adjacent reels from the left, and the way count is the product of those heights, up to 117,649. The Book lands on reels 2–6 only. It substitutes, and it also pays by the paytable no matter where it sits.

Free spins

Three or more Books in the base game start 12 free spins. Three or more during the round add 12. One regular symbol, never the Book, is chosen to expand. It covers a reel when that makes a win, and it pays even if those reels are not next to each other. In this round each Book draws ×2, ×3, ×5 or ×10, applied to the spin’s total win; several Books on one spin have those values added.

Who Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ suits

Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ suits readers who want a Book wild on a changing MEGAWAYS™ grid and will read both buy prices before confirming. It is a poor fit for anyone who wants a calmer listed volatility or treats x10,000 as a typical free-spin result.

Best for

  • Players comparing additive Book multipliers with a non-adjacent expanding symbol
  • Readers who want 12 free spins, a +12 retrigger and two named Buy Bonus options
  • Anyone checking the studio-listed 97.07% RTP and x10,000 maximum

Not ideal for

  • Players who want a lower published volatility band
  • Anyone treating Chance x2 or either buy as an ordinary spin cost
  • Readers reading x10,000 as a frequent session outcome

How Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ rules and features work

Free spins and Book multipliers

Three or more Books in the base game award 12 free spins. Three or more inside the round award 12 more. One symbol other than the Book expands to the reel when it pays, including on reels that are not adjacent. During the round each Book receives ×2, ×3, ×5 or ×10 on that spin’s total win. More than one Book means those multipliers are added.

Chance x2 and two buys

Chance x2 raises the bet slightly and improves the chance of free spins. Buy Bonus has two options: regular free spins, and free spins with a guaranteed high expanding symbol. The purchased spin draws three or more Scatters onto reels 2–6. Each feature switches the other off. Attached frames at a 0.20 FUN total bet label 20.00 for expands any symbol and 30.00 for guaranteed high expanding symbols, and show Chance x2 at 0.10 FUN. Those FUN labels are stake-linked preview figures, not a studio price list.

How to play Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ responsibly

A lit buy button and a Chance x2 toggle are extra prices, not value already won. Set money and time limits before opening either control, and treat x10,000 as a ceiling.

  1. Read both buy labels

    At 0.20 FUN, attached frames show preview figures of 20.00 and 30.00. Convert each into cash before confirming, and do not treat them as a printed studio tariff.

  2. Keep Chance x2 separate

    Chance x2 costs more than the base stake and cannot run together with Buy Bonus. Check which control is active before the next spin.

  3. Treat x10,000 as a ceiling

    BGaming states a maximum of x10,000 of the bet. That cap is not a typical free-spin or buy result.

Symbols and Paytable

The Book on reels 2–6 is Wild and Scatter, and in free spins it carries an additive multiplier. One other symbol expands and can pay on reels that do not touch. Ordinary cat and Egyptian icons fill the adjacent ways.

Book

Wild and Scatter on reels 2–6. It substitutes for other symbols and pays by the paytable regardless of position. In free spins each Book draws ×2, ×3, ×5 or ×10, applied to that spin’s total win. When more than one Book lands on the same spin, those multipliers are added. The attached paytable at 0.20 FUN lists preview figures of 20.00, 5.00 and 1.00 for 5, 4 and 3 Books.

Expanding symbol

Chosen at random for the free-spin round only. The Book cannot be the expanding symbol. It covers the whole reel when that creates a win, and it pays even when the matching reels are not adjacent.

Ordinary symbols

Bastet, the jackal, the cat mask, the ankh and ranks A–10 form adjacent left-to-right ways. The attached paytable at 0.20 FUN lists counts from 3 to 6; those FUN cells are stake-linked preview figures.

Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ RTP, volatility and maximum win

BGaming’s Book of Cats MEGAWAYS page prints a theoretical RTP of 97.07% and very high volatility. This card stores 97.07% as the listed figure, the minimum and the maximum of that published range. The studio page describes up to 117,649 MEGAWAYS on six reels of two to seven symbols, a Book on reels 2–6, 12 free spins with a +12 retrigger, additive multipliers of ×2, ×3, ×5 and ×10, and a maximum of x10,000 of the bet. Attached frames at a 0.20 FUN bet show two Buy Bonus preview figures, 20.00 and 30.00. RTP is a long-run configuration value, not a short-session return, and x10,000 stays a ceiling.

How to interpret the numbers

Key point 1

A spin with no Book is not a missed x10,000. Very high volatility describes the published profile; it does not schedule the next free-spin round.

Key point 2

Base stake, Chance x2 and the two buys are different prices. At 0.20 FUN the buy labels 20.00 and 30.00 are preview figures for that bet.

Key point 3

The studio page prints 97.07%. Confirm the active build on the operator information panel if a lobby loads another configuration.

Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ compared with other games

Other BGaming cards also mix a Book wild with free spins and a paid route into that round. Book of Cats MEGAWAYS is closest to titles where the Book lands on reels 2–6, the round pays 12 spins with a +12 retrigger, and Book multipliers are added. Compare the non-adjacent expanding symbol, the two Buy Bonus options and the published 97.07% RTP, not only the Egyptian cats.

Game Return / max win Volatility Bonus fit Watch out for
Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™ 97.07% / 10,000× Very High Three or more Books open 12 free spins; the same count inside the round adds 12. Buy Bonus can place that trigger on reels 2–6, with a regular option and one that guarantees a high expanding symbol. Shared Book wording does not make another title’s additive ×2–×10 rule, non-adjacent expander or 97.07% RTP match this card.
Magic Mummy MEGAWAYS™ 97.00% / 5,000× Very High Four or more Bonus symbols open Free Spins; Chance ×2 raises trigger odds; Buy Bonus opens the feature directly where offered. A familiar BGaming Buy Bonus button does not make another title’s Wild multipliers multiply together the same way.
Aztec Magic MEGAWAYS™ 96.96% / 12,960× Very High Three to six Scatters open Free Spins; Chance ×2 raises trigger odds; Buy Bonus opens the feature directly where offered. A familiar BGaming Buy Bonus button does not make another title’s Wilds sticky the same way.
