Instead of fixed lines, matching symbols on adjacent reels pay in any position, starting from the leftmost reel. The more matching symbols there are on each reel, the more ways the combination pays.

20,000 Waves is played on a 6×6 grid with 46,656 ways.

Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.20 and $15. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.

How winnings work (members only)

What 95.3% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 20,000x max win at a $1 stake

The top prize is capped at 20,000x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $20,000; on $0.20 it is $4,000. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.

Because winning symbols tumble away and are replaced, one paid spin can produce a chain of wins. All of them count towards that spin's total.

What 95.3% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 95.3%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $4.70

RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a volatile game.

Features explained (members only)

5 features explained: free spins, wild symbols, sticky wilds, tumbling reels and more

Free spins

A bonus round of spins played at no cost to your balance, usually triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Wins during the round are added to your balance, and many games let you retrigger extra spins.

Wild symbols

Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.

Sticky wilds

Sticky wilds stay locked in place for several spins or for the rest of a feature, giving every following spin a better chance of connecting wins.

Tumbling reels

After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into their place. This can create several consecutive wins from a single paid spin. Also called cascades or avalanches.

Symbol upgrades

Lower-paying symbols are transformed into higher-paying ones during a feature.

Strategy tips (members only)

Bonus wagering: at 95.3% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $47.00 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.

Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
