Bonus features of Buddha Megaways slot

Wild: represented by the golden Buddha statue and can appear on reels 2 to 5, helping to form more winning combinations. It's the game's joker icon.

Scatter: depicts a golden temple and obtaining at least 3 in the same spin wins the Free Spin mode.

Collapsing Symbol: symbols that participate in a winning combination disappear from the screen and are replaced by other icons falling from above. The function ends when no further winning lines are formed.

Free Spin: the number of free spins depends on how many Scatters triggered the feature. 3, 4, 5, or 6 bonus icons offer 10, 15, 20, or 25 Free Spins respectively. Additional 3 Scatters add 5 more free spins. The feature starts with a 1x multiplier that increases by +1 for each collapsing function during the bonus mode.

Gamble Free Spins: you can bet the number of free spins won to get the upper bonus tier. By spinning the wheel of fortune, you can increase the number of free games, but if the pointer stops on a gray box, the number of free spins decreases, so you can also lose those initially won.

Buy Bonus: by paying an amount equal to 100x the initial bet, you can voluntarily trigger the Free Spin mode, as the next spin ensures at least 3 Scatter symbols.

Pros and cons of Buddha Megaways slot

With Buddha Megaways slot, you have the opportunity to use the mechanics of many paylines patented by Big Time Gaming and subsequently adopted by many other providers, including 3 Oaks Gaming. The game is pleasant and dynamic, although the graphics aren't among the slot's strong points. RTP and maximum win are appreciable, but the limited betting range makes the game less suitable for those who prefer higher stake values.
