Dazzle Me Megaways

Q: What is the RTP of Dazzle Me Megaways?

The reference value published by NetEnt is 96.10%. But this title is distributed to operators in four certified versions: 96.10%, 95.08%, 93.09% and 91.06%. Five points separate the best from the worst, which is enormous, and nothing on screen tells you which one is running. The applied rate appears only in the game rules opened from within the casino. That is the first thing to check before staking anything on this game.

Our read of the game, based on the data the studio publishes

Dazzle Me Megaways takes the 2015 staircase grid and lets it breathe. Where the original locked its reels at 3-3-4-4-5 rows, the Megaways version varies the heights on every spin up to 5-5-7-7-9-9, giving a maximum of 99,225 ways to win. The move makes sense: Dazzle Me was already a game of uneven reel heights, and the Megaways engine simply draws the logical conclusion. The Dazzling Wild Reels survive the port and come out better for it. In base play, up to three reels become covered in Wilds at random. In free spins they are guaranteed, and they come with a counter: it starts at 2 and climbs every time a Wild joins a win, progressively expanding the Wild surface across the round. Combined with the avalanches, that produces chains that last — it is where most of the game's potential sits. The real story on this page is elsewhere. NetEnt distributes Dazzle Me Megaways in four RTP versions: 96.10% as the reference, then 95.08%, 93.09% and 91.06%. Five points between the top and bottom of that ladder, on the same game, with the same screen. Our own record carried 95.08% as though it were the game's rate: it was in fact the second tier, and the value has been corrected. At 91.06% you are no longer playing the same machine at all. Then there is maximum win, where sources diverge violently. NetEnt publishes 13,400x the stake; SlotCatalog and several other databases say 50,000x. The gap is far too large to be a rounding difference and nothing settles it: we keep the provider's value. One last thing to know before sitting down: stakes are capped at €50 per spin, which is low for a Megaways.

Dazzle Me Megaways in detail

Dazzle Me Megaways was released on 19 May 2021 according to NetEnt's official page. SlotCatalog distinguishes an exclusive release on 11 May from a wide release on 20 May; our record carried the latter date and now keeps the provider's. On a 2021 game the gap is only a few days, but it illustrates a constant of the NetEnt catalogue: aggregator dates almost never match the studio's own. The game adapts Dazzle Me, released in 2015, whose signature was a grid of reels at different heights. The Megaways version pushes that idea all the way: heights vary on every spin, up to a maximum of 5-5-7-7-9-9 rows, which produces 99,225 ways to win. The theme is unchanged — gemstones, dark stage backdrop, spotlights — in a flashier execution than the original but still legible. The engine runs on avalanches. Every winning combination removes the symbols involved, new ones drop to fill the gaps, and the chain continues as long as a fresh win forms. None of those cascading spins is charged: a single paid spin can therefore produce several successive wins with a grid that entirely recomposes in between. The feature inherited from the original is the Dazzling Wild Reels. In base play, up to three reels become entirely covered in Wild symbols, at random. In free spins they are guaranteed on every round, and a counter is attached to them: it starts at 2 and rises each time a Wild enters a winning combination. The Wild surface therefore expands as the round goes on, which makes the final spins considerably more productive than the first. That is the core of the game's potential, and the reason to aim for the bonus round rather than base play. Free spins require at least four Scatters: four award 8, and each extra Scatter adds 4 rounds. The base trigger is therefore short, and you have to count on the Wild counter for the round to gather momentum before it burns out. NetEnt's official numbers: 96.10% RTP, 13,400x the stake as maximum win, a 24% hit rate, and stakes from €0.10 to €50 per spin. Two important caveats. The first concerns RTP: Dazzle Me Megaways is distributed in four certified versions — 96.10%, 95.08%, 93.09% and 91.06% — and the operator picks which one it installs. Five points separate top from bottom, which is considerable; our record in fact carried 95.08%, an intermediate tier mistaken for the reference rate. The second concerns maximum win: SlotCatalog and several other databases state 50,000x where the provider publishes 13,400x. The gap cannot be reduced to any obvious calculation error, and this page keeps NetEnt's value. There is no bonus buy.

❓Frequently asked questions about Dazzle Me Megaways

What is the RTP of Dazzle Me Megaways?▾

The reference value published by NetEnt is 96.

10%. But this title is distributed to operators in four certified versions: 96. 10%, 95. 08%, 93. 09% and 91. 06%. Five points separate the best from the worst, which is enormous, and nothing on screen tells you which one is running. The applied rate appears only in the game rules opened from within the casino. That is the first thing to check before staking anything on this game.

What is the maximum win?▾

NetEnt states 13,400x the stake on its official page, which is €670,000 at the €50 maximum bet.

SlotCatalog and several other databases publish 50,000x, a gap far too large to be a rounding difference. No source settles it, so this page keeps the provider's value and flags the contradiction rather than picking the more flattering figure.

How many ways to win are there?▾

Up to 99,225, reached when all six reels simultaneously hit their maximum height of 5-5-7-7-9-9 rows.

As on any Megaways, heights vary from spin to spin, so the number of possible combinations changes constantly. The maximum configuration is rare: most spins play out on considerably shorter grids.

How do the Dazzling Wild Reels work?▾

It is the feature inherited from Dazzle Me, released in 2015.

One or more reels become entirely covered in Wild symbols. In base play up to three reels can be involved, and the trigger is random. In free spins those Wild Reels are guaranteed on every round, which completely changes the rhythm of the feature compared with the main mode.

What is the Wild Reels counter for?▾

It only exists during free spins.

It starts at 2 and rises each time a Wild symbol enters a winning combination. The higher it climbs, the more of the grid becomes covered in Wilds. In practice, a round that starts slowly can become very productive towards the end, and this accumulation mechanic carries most of the game's win potential.

How are the free spins triggered?▾

You need at least four Scatters, which is more demanding than the usual threshold of three.

Four Scatters award 8 free spins, and each additional Scatter adds 4. The base trigger is therefore short, and the Wild counter has to do the work. A six-Scatter trigger, worth 16 rounds, changes the outlook of the feature considerably.

Is there a bonus buy on Dazzle Me Megaways?▾

No, and it is a surprising omission for a 2021 game.

Nearly every Megaways released that year offered a bonus buy or at least an ante bet option; NetEnt included neither. The only way to reach the guaranteed Wild Reels remains landing four Scatters in base play, on a machine capped at €50 per spin.
