Payouts in a ways-to-win game arrive when matching symbols occupy consecutive reels starting on the left, in any row, with no fixed paths involved. Five reels each carrying four rows produce 4 to the power of 5, which is why a 1024-ways game has 1,024 possible combinations. This concept gets extended in Megaways through a symbol count per reel that varies each spin, explaining the shifting rather than fixed way-count.

Using it in practice

Ways-to-win games typically trade smaller per-combination payouts for a higher hit frequency. Don’t judge by the headline way-count, a plain grid description; weigh RTP and volatility instead. Read it together with what paylines means and volatility explained, since a page that covers one nearly always covers the others.

Ways to win is another term found throughout the game pages on this site; when the studio has issued no figure for it, the page says so and does not repeat a number from a comparison site. That explains the empty fields you will see in some of the spec tables here.

The common misreading

People commonly interpret a large way-count as signaling a large advantage. The count feeds into the RTP calculation as an input rather than being added to it. A 46,656-ways game isn’t forty-five times superior to a 1,024-ways one; the real difference is more frequent hits that pay less each, under the studio’s chosen long-run return.

A worked example

Running the arithmetic is the plainest way to grasp it. A 5x4 grid computes to 4^5, which equals 1,024 ways. On a 6x6 grid, the math 6^6 lands on 46,656.

The engine’s evaluated symbol paths are what these two numbers track, not generosity. It’s the grid, not the payouts, that gets described whenever a game touts a way-count reaching the tens of thousands.
