This week, we're stepping out of the coop and into the Wild West with Bandit Megaways. This is the newest outlaw adventure to hit JefeBet and we’re pretty sure you’re going to love it. If Beast Mode brought the flex and Finger Lick’n Free Spins had the charm, Bandit Megaways shows up with dusty boots, dynamite multipliers, and an incredibly insane 117,649 ways to win.
Made by the iconic Pragmatic Play in their gritty, feature-heavy style, this slot takes the Megaways format and adds another layer of volatile chaos. There are no wild symbols, but it does have some explosive multipliers, and Free Spins that can pop off fast — or leave you in the dust.
Bandit Megaways opens with a shot of a sleepy saloon town baking under the desert sun. It’s what you’d expect from something like this. On the right side of the screen, a grizzled cowboy smirks at you, and occasionally, he whips out his revolver and fires into the reels which drops dynamite multipliers where they land. We think this is a slick touch that keeps the screen active, even during the slower stretches.
The setting isn’t exactly breaking new ground as there are wooden storefronts, dusty roads, and cacti — but the visuals are nonetheless sharp and the character animations are smooth, especially during tumbles, and the saloon soundtrack plays out like a Sergio Leone film with added slot machine chimes.
Sure, some may find the Western theme overdone in the sweepstakes casino market, but it still holds up if you're into the high-stakes vibe.
For the uninitiated, Bandit Megaways uses the Megaways engine, which means that each reel can show between 2-7 symbols, shifting the number of win ways from spin to spin. At its biggest expansion, you’ll have 117,649 ways to win across the 6 reels.
It also includes a top horizontal reel above reels 2-5 which adds 4 extra symbols per spin to help chain together wins. That reel’s been used in a lot of Megaways games, and Pragmatic is not letting up on it because here it actually feels useful, helping trigger some big chains when the tumble feature kicks in.
Speaking of tumbles — this is where the slot really comes alive. Winning symbols disappear, new ones drop in, and the process repeats until no more matches are made. When this happens, you better hold on tight because we've seen it go for dozens of spins in our tests. This leads to long win chains and, more importantly, gives you multiple chances per spin for dynamite multipliers to land.
There’s no wild symbol in Bandit Megaways, which, as we totally understand, may catch some players off guard. Instead, Pragmatic shifts the focus to dynamite multiplier symbols and these can seriously boost your payouts.
When a dynamite symbol lands during a spin, it sticks around until all tumbles on the reel finish. Then, all the multipliers that showed up during that tumble combine and apply to your total win. The values undoubtedly vary wildly, but you’re looking at anything from a modest 2x up to a massive 500x.
Of course, they’re not easy to land, but when you do — especially if you get multiple in one tumble chain — the results can be game-changing and you can walk away with tons of GC or SC.
The Free Spins round is triggered by 4, 5, or 6 Scatter symbols, giving you 15, 20, or 25 spins respectively. That’s a pretty decent start, especially when paired with the slot’s persistent global multiplier.
Here’s how it works—
Each time a dynamite multiplier appears and contributes to a win, that value is added to a global multiplier, which, fortunately, doesn’t reset between spins.
That means every dynamite hit makes future wins stronger, stacking momentum fast. You’ll really feel it in long tumble chains.
You can retrigger the feature by landing more 3+ Scatters, earning up to 30 extra spins.
If you want to get to the heart of the game instantly, you’ll see a Bonus Buy menu with 2 options—
Regular Free Spins. 100x your bet, 15–25 spins depending on the number of Scatters.
Super Free Spins. 500x your bet. These guarantee a starting multiplier of at least 10x, and you still get all the regular features.
That 500x buy-in is one of the steepest costs we’ve seen for a bonus buy game, but it can bust your balance fast. But if you're chasing the 5,000x win cap, Super Free Spins is the fastest (and riskiest) way to get there.
The symbols are what you’d expect from a Wild West caper like Bandit Megaways—
Low-pays. Traditional card values of 10, J, Q, K, A, stylized with Western flair. The top value for these is just 0.8x your bet for 6 of a kind.
High-pays. A cast of shady bandits and dusty gunslingers. The best symbol pays 7.5x your bet for a 6-symbol combo.
Wins form with 3+ matching symbols from left to right, starting from the first reel. It’s a standard Megaways setup, but the dynamic row heights and tumbling system make it feel a bit less predictable than line-based games like Book of Tut or even Finger Lick’n Free Spins.
The RTP is 96.55%, which is well above average for most games and holds steady across all modes, including Bonus Buy. That’s solid, especially considering the game’s volatility.
And make no mistake as this is a high-volatility slot. Dry spells are simply part of the package, and it’s not uncommon to go dozens of spins without a major win. However, the hit frequency sits at a decent 25.77% which means you’ll land a payout roughly once every 4 spins—even if it’s a small one, so that’s not terrible for a high-volatility game.
The max win is a hefty 5,000x, and once that number is hit, the game ends the Free Spins round instantly. While that’s a good payout, it’s relatively modest compared to most of the other Megaways slots. Competitors like FRKN Bananas and Cursed Crypt top out at 10,000x or more, and Beast Mode towers above at 25,000x. So, the wins come easier, but the ceiling is a bit limited.
Compared to other recent releases, Bandit Megaways doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it leans into classic Megaways dynamics, strips out the extras, and focuses on one thing — explosive multipliers. If you like to see multipliers, then this will beat out just about any other game.
It’s not as quirky as FRKN Bananas or as deep as Beast Mode, but it’s tight, polished, and hits all the right buttons for fans of high-risk sweepstakes casino games. The bonus rounds can be thrilling, and the Super Free Spins mode is a gambler’s dream, despite its steep price tag.
If you're into fast-paced, volatile slots with a cinematic Western vibe, Bandit Megaways is worth loading up. Just know going in—this one plays rough.
