How to play Bamboo Ways (members only)
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.
Bamboo Ways is played on a 6 reels grid with 46,656 ways.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.10 and $100. 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.
- Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.
- Trigger the bonus. Land the required scatter symbols to start the free spins feature.
- Optional bonus buy. Where permitted, pay a fixed price to start the bonus directly.

How winnings work (members only)
What 96.3% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 25,000x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 25,000x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $25,000; on $0.20 it is $5,000. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.
Multipliers are applied to wins as they land; in many games several multipliers add together or multiply each other, which is where the largest wins come from.
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 96.3% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 96.3%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.70
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a high volatility game.
Features explained (members only)
9 features explained: free spins, multipliers, wild symbols, expanding wilds 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.
Multipliers
Multipliers increase a win by a set factor, such as 2x or 10x. They can be attached to symbols, applied to a whole spin, or grow during a feature, and are a main driver of the biggest wins.
Wild symbols
Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.
Expanding wilds
When an expanding wild lands, it grows to cover its whole reel, turning one symbol into a full column of wilds.
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.
Hold and win
Landing enough special cash or coin symbols starts a respin feature: those symbols lock in place, the respin counter resets each time a new one lands, and their values are collected when the feature ends.
Bonus buy
Lets you pay a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus feature straight away instead of waiting for it to trigger. It raises variance considerably and is not available in every country (it is banned in the UK).
Mystery symbols
Special symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen regular symbol, which can complete several wins at once.
Expanding reels
The grid grows during play, adding rows or reels and increasing the number of ways or lines that can pay.
Strategy tips (members only)
- Size your stake to the volatility. High volatility concentrates the return in rare, large wins. Long losing runs are normal. Keep stakes small (around 1% of your session budget or less) so you can ride out the swings. A simple rule: bring at least 300 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.17.
4 more tips and a session planner
- Check which RTP version you're playing. Push Gaming offers this game at 96.3%, 94.42%. Open the game rules at your casino and prefer sites running the 96.3% version.
- Treat bonus buys as high-risk. Buying the feature concentrates your budget into a few large-variance rounds. Many results return less than the price paid. Read our bonus buy guide first.
- Bonus wagering: at 96.3% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $37.00 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.
