How Dazzle Me Megaways plays
The game picks a fresh number of symbols for every reel on each spin, so the window keeps changing shape. Reels 1 and 2 can show up to 5 symbols, reels 3 and 4 up to 7 and the last pair up to 9, and a full house of every position adds up to 99,225 ways. Low on the paytable are coloured gem shapes, followed by a heart and a bell, with the red 7 above them all. The wild is a diamond that covers for every pay symbol, though never for the Free Spins symbol.
Every win starts an Avalanche. The symbols that paid are cleared away, new ones fall into the gaps, and the chain carries on for as long as fresh wins keep forming. Medium volatility is NetEnt’s own rating for this version.
Dazzling Wild Reels
In the base game this feature has no trigger symbol and can switch on at random. When it does, the game selects up to three reels from reels 2 to 6 before anything lands, and on the opening drop those reels hold wilds and nothing else. The first reel is never part of the choice. The wild-only rule lasts for the opening drop alone: once an Avalanche begins, ordinary symbols are free to tumble onto a Dazzling Wild Reel, so the column can change as the chain goes on.
Free Spins
Four Free Spins symbols landing anywhere in the base game award 8 free spins, and every symbol beyond the fourth adds 4 more to that starting total. In the round the Dazzling Wild Reels no longer wait for a random trigger: at least one of them is set on every spin, and its wild count is driven by the counters described next.
Dazzling Wild Counters
Each Dazzling Wild Reel in the free spins carries a Dazzling Wild Counter, and the number on it sets how many wilds that reel holds. Every counter begins at 2. Whenever wilds on a reel become part of a winning combination, that reel’s counter goes up, which is what NetEnt means when it describes the round’s wild reels as growing with each win. The counters are tied to individual reels, so each one is tracked above its own reel.
Dazzle Me Megaways compared with Dazzle Me and Twin Spin Megaways
Dazzle Me, the August 2015 original, uses 76 fixed paylines on five reels of 3, 3, 4, 4 and 5 rows. Its wild reels can cover anything from one to all five reels, and its free spins bring Linked Reels; here the free spins are built around growing wild counters. Twin Spin Megaways, from November 2020, also has six changing reels but reaches 117,649 ways, and its signature is a pair or more of identical twin reels on each spin. It needs five scatters for its free spins, against four Free Spins symbols here.

Frequently asked questions
What is Dazzle Me Megaways?
It is the 2021 Megaways version of a NetEnt slot first released in 2015. The fixed paylines of the original give way to reels that change height on every spin, and the random wild reels return in a form that builds up during the free spins, with a counter on each one that adds wilds after a win it takes part in.
How does the Dazzle Me Megaways slot work?
Each spin begins with the game choosing how tall every reel will be and, now and then, which of reels 2 to 6 turn into Dazzling Wild Reels. Any win is paid and cleared by an Avalanche, which refills the gaps and can pay again. Four Free Spins symbols landing anywhere on the reels in the main game open the bonus round.
Can the wild help trigger the free spins in Dazzle Me Megaways?
No. The diamond replaces the pay symbols, from the gems to the red 7, but it cannot stand in for the Free Spins symbol, so the round needs four genuine Free Spins symbols. Inside the round the wilds matter in a different way: each win they join raises the Dazzling Wild Counter on their reel.
