Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways Slot Game
The Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways slot is a 6-reel Megaways addition to Roxor Gaming's popular Secrets of the Phoenix series. Released in 2020 as the studio's second Megaways title (after Tiki Totems Megaways), the Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways slot takes the mythical phoenix theme of the original 2017 game and supercharges it with the Big Time Gaming Megaways engine, cascading reels, and a free spins bonus built around an unlimited win multiplier.
Set among floating stone temples and mist-covered mountains, with slinking vines wrapped around the reel set, the Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways slot runs across six main reels plus a seventh horizontal reel above the middle four. The Megaways engine means each main reel lands with anywhere between two and seven symbols on every spin, creating as many as 117,649 ways to win. It has high volatility and big-win potential through the bonus, with bets running from 20p per spin.
The cascading reels mechanic lets a single spin produce multiple wins, and when one of the middle reels clears entirely, the prized Phoenix Wilds swoop in to help build even more payouts. Add a free spins round with a multiplier that climbs with no upper limit, and you have a slot with serious top-end potential.

Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways Symbols & Payouts
Within the stone-block reel set, the low-paying symbols are the 9-to-Ace playing card royals, sitting alongside four different coloured gemstones as the premium symbols. The top payer is the purple gem, worth 25x for matching six of a kind.
There are two bonus symbols. The red phoenix tile is the wild and only appears in the top horizontal reel, substituting for regular symbols to help complete paylines. The flaming phoenix is the scatter, your key to the free spins bonus.
Payouts are awarded for matching identical symbols on consecutive reels, with the ever-changing Megaways count shown in the top corner. The table below shows the payouts based on a £1.00 wager:

Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways Bonus Features
There is plenty to discover in Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways, all built around the Megaways engine, the cascades, and those fiery Phoenix Wilds.
Megaways Engine
The Megaways engine, invented by Big Time Gaming, lets each regular reel land with a variable number of symbols, between two and seven high. This produces a different number of ways to win every spin, up to a maximum of 117,649.
Cascading Reels and Phoenix Wilds
The cascading reels feature sees winning symbols explode off the reels to make way for new ones, opening up the chance of a second, third, or even longer win sequence from a single spin. And here is the clever bit: if a cascade clears any of the middle reels (reels 2, 3, 4 or 5) entirely, a stack of Phoenix Wilds expands into that reel to help build further payouts within the same spin sequence. Reels 1 and 6 do not trigger the Phoenix Wilds expansion, so spins where wins cluster across the middle of the grid tend to produce the biggest cascade chains.
Free Spins Bonus
Land 4 or more flaming phoenix scatter symbols to trigger the free spins bonus. Four scatters award 12 free spins, with every additional scatter adding 5 more spins to the total. The real draw is the universal win multiplier applied to every winning payout during the round. It starts at 1x and climbs by 1x with every win in the sequence, with no upper limit, so a long cascade chain can send it soaring. During the bonus, scatters only appear in the horizontal reel, and landing three or more at once retriggers the feature.
About the Secrets of the Phoenix Slot Series
The Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways slot is part of one of the most enduring branded slot franchises in the UK regulated market. The original Secrets of the Phoenix slot was released by Gamesys in 2017 and became one of the studio's signature titles, going on to spawn multiple sequels and reimaginings as the brand grew in popularity.
Following the acquisition of Gamesys by Bally's Corporation in 2021, the original Gamesys games studio was rebranded as Roxor Gaming, with the Secrets of the Phoenix IP transitioning seamlessly to the new operation. Roxor Gaming has continued to expand the franchise with releases including Secrets of the Phoenix Elements, Secrets of the Phoenix Hold and Gold, Secrets of the Phoenix Dice, and Secrets of the Phoenix Power Reels.
The Secrets of the Phoenix Megaways slot stands out within the franchise as the version that combines the original phoenix theme with the Big Time Gaming Megaways engine. Big Time Gaming pioneered the Megaways mechanic in 2015 with Dragon Born, and the variable-symbol structure (which produces up to 117,649 ways to win on every spin) has since become one of the most popular slot formats in the regulated UK online casino market. Roxor Gaming licensed the Megaways engine to give the Secrets of the Phoenix franchise the expanded gameplay surface that fans of the original had been calling for.
