The Legacy of Ra Megaways slot is a Blueprint Gaming release from March 2019 with a 96.01% RTP, high volatility, up to 15,625 ways on six Megaways reels and a 50,000x maximum win. Its free spins use a special expanding symbol chosen before the round, and this guide explains it alongside the costs and UK app rules.
RTP is 96.01%, so the long-run average cost is £3.99 per £100 staked.
Each of the six reels shows a different number of symbols every spin, for up to 15,625 ways.
Three to six scatters trigger free spins with a special expanding symbol picked before the round.
The 50,000x top prize is £5,000 at 10p, but it is extremely rare and volatility is high.
UK rules cap slot stakes at £5 (25+) or £2 (18–24) and ban autoplay.

Legacy of Ra Megaways slot in brief
Legacy of Ra Megaways is an Ancient Egypt slot from Blueprint Gaming, the studio founded in 2001 and based in Newark, UK, now part of Merkur Group. Blueprint is known for Fishin' Frenzy, Eye of Horus and its Jackpot King network, and it uses the Megaways engine under licence.
The game combines that engine with a book-style free spins round, where one symbol becomes special and expands. The verified details:

How Megaways works in Legacy of Ra Megaways
On a Megaways slot, each reel shows a varying number of symbols on every spin, so the number of ways to win changes from spin to spin. You multiply the symbol counts on all six reels to get the ways for that spin.
This game tops out at 15,625 ways. That number equals 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 5, which is what six reels showing five symbols each would give. The game's help screen shows the exact range of reel heights. On a spin with fewer symbols per reel the count is much lower; a spin with 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 and 4 symbols, for example, gives 2 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 4 = 576 ways.
A scroll symbol acts as the wild, standing in for pay symbols to complete wins. It does not replace the scatter, which has its own job.
Free spins with a special expanding symbol
Landing three, four, five or six scatters triggers free spins. Before the first free spin, the game picks one of the pay symbols to be the special expanding symbol for the whole round. Whenever three or more of that symbol land during the round, it expands and pays.
Free spins can also be retriggered, extending the round. The number of spins for each scatter count is listed in the game's paytable; open it before you play rather than relying on memory.

UK players cannot pay to go straight to free spins. Since a Gambling Commission warning in January 2020, feature buy-ins are not offered to British players.
Why the chosen symbol shapes each free spins round
Because the special symbol is picked before the round, two free spins rounds of the same length can pay very differently. A high-paying symbol that expands can produce a large result; a low-paying one often produces modest wins. The choice is random and nothing you do influences it.
This mechanic is familiar from Novomatic's Book of Ra Deluxe, where an expanding symbol is also chosen before free spins. The Blueprint game combines that idea with changing reel heights, which adds another layer of swing to an already high-volatility game.
A £20 budget on Legacy of Ra Megaways: the RTP in pounds
At 96.01%, the RTP is close to the 96% mark that many modern slots sit around. The house edge of 3.99% is the average cost of play over the long run, and it means losses are likely over time.

High volatility means those averages say little about a single session. Much of the return is tied up in free spins with a well-paying expanding symbol, which can take many spins to arrive. A smaller stake stretches a £20 budget across more chances; a bigger one simply reaches the end faster on average.
Max win on the Legacy of Ra Megaways slot
The published top prize is 50,000x your stake. Converted at common stakes, it looks like this. Treat it as a ceiling that very few spins ever approach, not a realistic target.

How to play Legacy of Ra Megaways on your phone
Changing reel heights mean symbols resize from spin to spin, so a tall reel can make icons small on a phone. The game is HTML5 and runs in casino apps and mobile browsers on iPhone and Android; whether portrait or landscape suits it best depends on the casino's game window.
Download a UK-licensed casino app from Google Play or the App Store; our Android install guide explains the Play Store route.
Create an account and complete age and identity verification, which UK casinos must do before you deposit or play demo games.
Set a deposit limit when prompted before your first deposit.
Search the lobby for Legacy of Ra Megaways. If it's missing, that casino doesn't offer it.
Open the paytable to see the reel heights, free spins awards and the RTP of the version loaded.
Choose your stake and press spin each time; UK slots have no autoplay.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RTP of Legacy of Ra Megaways?
The RTP is 96.01%, which gives a house edge of 3.99%, or an average cost of £3.99 per £100 staked over the long run. Any single session can come out far above or below that. Check the figure in the game's information screen in your app, which shows the version the casino runs. Not sure where that screen is? Our guide to finding a game's RTP in an app walks through it.
How many ways to win does Legacy of Ra Megaways have?
Up to 15,625. Each of the six reels shows a different number of symbols on every spin, and multiplying them together gives the ways for that spin. The maximum, 15,625, is 5 multiplied by itself six times. Most spins have fewer ways than the maximum. Our Megaways glossary entry explains how the count is worked out.
How does the expanding symbol work in Legacy of Ra Megaways?
Before free spins begin, the game picks one pay symbol to be special for the whole round. When three or more of that symbol land during free spins, it expands and pays. The pick is random, so the value of a round depends partly on which symbol is chosen. The same idea appears in Book of Ra Deluxe, which we review separately.
How do you trigger free spins on Legacy of Ra Megaways?
Free spins start when three, four, five or six scatter symbols land in the base game, and they can be retriggered during the round. The number of spins for each scatter count is listed in the game's paytable. In the UK you can't buy the feature directly. For the difference between in-game spins and promotional spins, see our guide to free spins in casino apps.
What is the max win on Legacy of Ra Megaways?
The maximum win is 50,000x your stake, which is £5,000 on a 10p spin and £50,000 on a £1 spin. It is a very rare ceiling, and because volatility is high, most sessions finish nowhere near it. The house edge still applies to every spin. Other ceilings are listed in our mobile slot reviews for comparison.
Who makes Legacy of Ra Megaways?
Blueprint Gaming makes it. Founded in 2001 and based in Newark, UK, Blueprint is owned by Merkur Group (formerly Gauselmann Group) and is regulated by the Gambling Commission and in Alderney. It uses Megaways under licence from Big Time Gaming and also runs the Jackpot King progressive network. Our Blueprint Gaming page lists its other games.
Can I play Legacy of Ra Megaways on my phone?
It runs in any UK casino app that stocks it. It is an HTML5 game, so it works in iPhone and Android apps and in mobile browsers without a separate download. Because reel heights change each spin, symbols can look small on a compact screen, so try both orientations. Our guide on landscape vs portrait mode in casino apps has tips.
Is Legacy of Ra Megaways high volatility?
Yes, it is rated high volatility. Long stretches without a feature are normal, and a large part of the return depends on free spins landing with a well-paying expanding symbol. A small stake relative to your budget gives you more spins before the money runs out. Read our answer on what volatility means on a slot app for more.
