Five Dragons on Mega888: How 243 Ways to Win Works
No paylines here: matching symbols on neighbouring reels, anywhere in the column, count as a win. A plain guide to the 243-ways setup and betting.
Five Dragons is a Mega888 slot that drops paylines altogether. It plays on a standard 5 x 3 grid but pays using 243 ways to win.
How 243 ways works in Five Dragons
On a payline slot, symbols have to sit along a set path. Here they do not. A win counts whenever the same symbol appears on consecutive reels starting from reel 1, in any of the three positions on each reel. Three rows on five reels gives 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 243 possible combinations, which is where the name comes from.
In practice, that means more small wins than a 20-line game at the same stake, and fewer spins where nothing connects.
Setting your bet
You may see these prices quoted in US dollars. On Mega888 your balance shows in your account currency, so treat these as the game's bet units and confirm them on the bet panel.
- The cost per reel can be set from 0.01 to 2.
- That gives a minimum spin of 0.25 and a maximum of 60.
- There is also a slightly higher 0.30 option near the bottom of the range.
Stay near the low end until you have a sense of how the game behaves. A 243-ways slot pays often, but many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
The Five Dragons backdrop
The background is an odd one: green on the lower half, blue on the upper. It may be a stylised land and sky, though that is only a guess. It does not affect play.
