As befits the style, Lucky Wu Megaways is played on a gigantic 6-reel grid with 2–7 rows and a horizontally spinning upper reel with 4 symbols. Because the number of rows in each reel is chosen at random at the start of each spin, every spin is different. Consequently, there are anywhere from 64 to a maximum of 117,649 paylines.
The well-known symbols that make up the paytable of the Lucky Wu Megaways are divided into highs and lows. Classic A-9 card royals are found in the lower half, and golden sculptures of pigs, frogs, fish, and dragons are arranged in progressive order in the premium lot. While the highest paying dragon requires only two, all other symbols pay from three of a type and beyond.
Low value symbols pay between 0.8x and 1.75x the stake, while higher value symbols pay between 2x and 50x the stake for full line winnings. Last but not least, coin symbols are Wild. They can replace any other regular symbol and can only occur on the top tracker above the main reels.
The Cascading Wins feature, which is essential to the gameplay, clears the reels of all winning symbols once you receive a payment so that new ones can fall and occupy the vacant places. Repeatable, the cascading process keeps on until no more wins are seen.
A Mystery Symbols modifier may randomly appear to place a random number of Mystery Symbols onto the reels on any spin during the base game and bonus round. After then, each instance will change into a single, randomly selected regular symbol.
Keep a watch out for Scatter symbols, as players can activate the Free Spins feature when four or more of them show up anywhere in view. Four triggering symbols yield 12 spins, and each additional scatter symbol adds +2 extra spins, for a total of 80 spins. All winnings during the bonus are multiplied by the current multiplier amount, and each winning cascade throughout the free games raises the total win multiplier by +1, with no upper limit.
