Dynamite Riches Megaways Demo & review

Dynamite Riches Megaways is built around a progress bar: every Dynamite Wild that lands fills one of four padlocked sections above the reels, and each section that opens adds a feature that can fire at random from then on. Red Tiger released this Megaways version of its 2019 Dynamite Riches in September 2021. It suits players who stay at one stake for a long session, because that is where the bar pays off.

How Dynamite Riches Megaways works

Six reels change height on every spin, and the ways are the product of how many symbols each reel shows. Our first board held 3, 2, 7, 2, 3 and 6 symbols across the reels, which multiplies to the 1,512 ways printed under the logo. At its largest the grid makes 117,649.

Winning symbols clear and new ones drop in, so one spin can pay more than once. The Dynamite Wild substitutes for every paying symbol, and it is also the fuel for everything else in the game. We read the help and paytable in a second short session after our test, so the rules below are the game's own.

The paytable at a $1 bet

Nine symbols pay, from three of a kind up to six. Each value is paid per way, so a symbol that lines up on several ways pays several times.

The base values are small, and the grid size does the work. In our second session two hearts on reel one, two on reel two and one on reel three made 2 x 2 x 1 = 4 ways of three hearts, and at $0.20 a way that paid $0.80. A board that stretches a symbol across many ways is where the bigger base wins come from.

Three hearts on 4 ways paid 0.80, from the short session we played to read the rules. FluxPlays demo test, 2 November 2026.

How the Feature Unlock bar works

The bar has four sections, and each takes 15 Dynamite Wilds to fill. There are 60 dynamites in all, and once the last section opens, dynamites stop landing.

A feature always fires on the spin straight after it unlocks. After that it can fire at random on any spin at the same stake, so the game gets busier the longer you play it.

That stake rule is the condition that matters. The help ties unlocked features to spins at the same stake, and it does not say what happens to a part-filled bar if you change it. Mega Wild is the prize of a full bar, and the compass is the one feature that also reaches into the free spins.

Gold Spins: how they trigger

Three Gold Spins symbols anywhere award eight Gold Spins, and each extra symbol adds two. Inside the round, three more add four spins and each extra one adds another. Every win raises a Growing Win Multiplier by one, from x1 up to x20, and it resets only when the round ends.

The unlocks carry in. A compass multiplier that is still waiting when Gold Spins start is transferred into the round, and during it the compass raises the growing multiplier instead. TNT is the exception: a TNT spin that triggers Gold Spins does not keep the low symbols away for the whole round.

RTP, volatility and max win

The help screens do not print an RTP, but the game's own settings report 95.75%, the same figure as Red Tiger's game page, and a top multiplier of 8,185.3x the bet. Red Tiger shows volatility only as a gauge, and review sites rate the game Medium. There is no buy, so Gold Spins and every padlock have to be earned on the reels.

Which Dynamite Riches version is this?

Our Dynamite Riches Megaways demo test

All four padlocks stayed shut through our session, and Gold Spins symbols landed on 11 spins without ever making three at once. Only 13 spins paid, nine of them through chain reactions, and the best was $8.00 on spin 62. None of the unlockable features or Gold Spins appeared, so everything about them here rests on the game's help screens, read once the test was over. A session this short is far too few spins to judge the return, and too short to fill a bar of 60 dynamites.

Is Dynamite Riches Megaways worth playing?

For a long-session player who sticks to one bet, yes; for a short session, no. The unlock bar is a good idea: each padlock makes the game permanently richer at that stake, and a full bar brings Mega Wilds that multiply whole reels. The price is a slow start, with nothing extra to help until the first 15 dynamites land.

Pick Temple Tumble Megaways if you want progress that is settled inside one round: clear all its stone blocks in a single round and the free spins open. Dynamite Riches Megaways is the choice if you would rather build features that stay with you across a session.

In the demo, keep one stake and watch the first padlock. TNT fires on the very next spin after it opens, which is the quickest way to see the bar working.
