Barnyard Megahays Megaways Slot by Pragmatic Play

Haystack symbols land on the Megaways grid carrying one of six random features, but they sit inert until a Tornado (Collect) symbol sweeps across the same spin. Without that Tornado, the haystacks do nothing - they just occupy reel space through tumbles while winning symbols clear around them. When Collect does hit, every haystack on the grid activates simultaneously, and the variety of what they hold drives the whole game.

Money values range from 1x to 100x total bet. Wild haystacks transform into substitution symbols after the tumble sequence ends, then a fresh round of ways-pays evaluates with them in place. Wild Multiplier haystacks do the same but carry a x2, x3, or x5 tag - and when multiple multiplier wilds land together, their values multiply against each other. Respin haystacks grant an additional full spin of the grid. And one rare haystack type awards the entire 10,000x max win instantly.

Free spins strip out the Collect requirement entirely. Every haystack that lands during the bonus activates on contact - no Tornado needed. The round starts at 10 or 20 spins depending on how many Free Spins haystacks triggered it, and two new haystack types appear during the bonus: +3 spins and +10 spins. With specials firing every time they hit and retrigger options extending the round, the bonus builds momentum without the gating mechanic that limits the base game.

The buy option costs 100x and guarantees at least one Free Spins haystack plus a Collect on the entry spin. Base game tumbles use the standard Megaways cascade - symbols drop, gaps fill from above, and each new arrangement checks for ways-wins before the next tumble.
