Buddha edifies (in the teaching of the Kalama’s community) that the very existence without harm (i.e. in circumstances of self-purification, abstention and best conduct) should be already considered as a blessing and a source of good luck.
However, the idea/superstition that rubbing Buddha’s belly brings good luck is seems to be a made-up incentive on a consumer/ideological base. It is a concept of finding something external to cause/or influence our self-enrichment (when we want to thrive/score some).
And is also an attempt to be a part of something global (what we don’t understand). We, at BNC Canada, do not pretend we comprehend whether Buddhism is a religion or not. Nor do we wish to enter into a dispute over how appropriate it is to put Buddha’s name in a gambling product.
We think it is only natural for Ukraine and Taiwan-based Studio – Booongo to know all Asian traditions/history/legends/beliefs and a propensity to satisfy the Asian-theme gambling fans. In its over 90 titles in the library (50 of them directly supported on their platform), the young (formed in 2015) Studio stays true to its chosen distinctive colours and amusing style.
It utilizes a playing field with 6 reels, and 2 to maximum 7 cells (per spin/per reel), and the universally liked Cascading System, perhaps familiar to you under 1 of the following names:
Rolling Reels = Avalanche Technique = Tumbling down Method = Collapsing Process
Regardless of the name used, the familiar approach, hand in hand with the MultiWay pay calculation model and the Progressive Multiplier (in both – base game and Bonus round), all formulate this machine’s winning recipe. Sure, such a setup is not new, but as with their first machine, we think Booongo’s production contains plenty of the ‘P’ parts:
- Powerful (maximum prospect here is 12000x the total bet),
- Presentable (high-quality visual and audio),
- Providing Plain Participation (uncomplicated – and therefore suitable Pastime for beginners and less experienced players).
As a continuation of the Buddha Fortune Hold&Win slot (from 2020), Buddha MegaWays uses the same peaceful design and endearing symbols: Golden Buddha, Lion, Tortoise, Carp and Crane, all coated with – gold and all in harmony with the traditional colours (intense blue/red/purple/green), symbolizing in Asian cultures success, bliss, prosperity and luck.
The game also comes with High Volatility, a return of 95.58% (which is below today’s industry norm), and an exciting option to gamble the length of the Free Spins Bonus.
Because of the volatile nature and insufficient RTP, we tend to give neutral advice when playing Buddha MegaWays with real deposits. Still, if you decide to play here, regardless of the bet you select, be sure to protect yourself with a bankroll for at least 150 spins and quit after a generous Bonus (the slot certainly won’t render such windfall again any time soon).
And for the bonus hunters, we can only leave negative recommendations.

Bonus Features of Buddha MegaWays slot
- Collapsing Process – The gameplay depends on cascading waves throughout the entire game.
- Winning combos pay, blast into pieces and evade the grid.
- The remaining icons collapse, offering free places for new symbols to drop.
- The process creates 1 more or a chain of new winning combos. It will continue until ‘3+’ identical icons keep emerging on adjacent reels (starting from reel 1).
- When using this collapsing method, multiple payouts in a row are very likely with just 1 bet.
- During the base game, each cascade starts with Multiplier x1, which will grow by 1 on every next wave. At the end of the cascade, the Multiplier is reset back to 1.
- MegaWays – The game panel is constructed with a permanent number of reels – 6 (vertical) and a constantly changing number of symbols per reel (per spin – not per cascade). They can vary between 2 and 7 on every reel. The maximum field extension is then 7/7/7/7/7/7 or 6×7, which delimits the winways options – between 64 (if all reels consist of just 2 symbols) and 117649 (if each reel has a max number of symbols – 7).
- Wilds – The Golden Buddha is naturally the Wild element in the game – superseding for all regular icons. It can appear on reels 2/3/4/5.
- Scatters & Free Spins – The Golden Pagoda is the Scatter symbol. It can appear on all reels, in the first or consecutive rolls in the same cascade. It will remain in its place during the entire cascade. The Pagoda is a non-value symbol, but if combos of 3/4/5/6OAK fall during 1 main spin will activate the Bonus rounds with 10/15/20/25 spins, respectively. Additional 5 FS can be won by 3 Scatters within the Bonus. During Free Spins, the winning Multiplier also grows by 1 on every next wave but without resetting, i.e. unlimited proliferation.
- Gamble Free Spins – Once the Bonus is granted, there is a chance to play it immediately or gamble for an extra-long Bonus (up to 30 initial spins). Pay attention – here, and you can lose the Free Spins already awarded!
- Bonus Buy – For all heated players impatient to see how they will fare in the Free Spins, there is a Bonus Buy feature, enabling immediate launch with the price of 100x the current bet.
