Beetlejuice Megaways Slot by Light & Wonder

The variance hook here is what happens inside Free Spins. Land 3, 4, or 5 Bonus marquees for 8, 12, or 16 spins, and a win multiplier appears at x1 with no upper cap. Each cascade inside the feature bumps it by +1, the multiplier carries across every remaining spin, and a retrigger (3/4/5 Bonus during the feature) adds 4/6/8 more spins without resetting the counter. Order matters: the multiplier applies to the win BEFORE incrementing for that cascade, so a long single-spin chain is worth more than a freshly retriggered round at the same depth.

Outside the feature, Beetlejuice Megaways uses the Megaways setup with 5 main reels showing 2 to 6 symbols each and a top horizontal tray that wakes up only AFTER the first winning cascade. That tray doubles every reel's visible symbols to 4/6/12 and pushes the ways count up to 248,832. The cascades themselves stay isolated: main reels drop down to refill, the top tray refills from the right, and symbols never cross between the two areas. No buy bonus, no ante bet, no second-screen mini-games.

The Ghost is the unusual base-game piece. It only lands on the initial drop (never during a cascade), and once everything has settled every Ghost on the grid morphs into the same single symbol picked from the paytable, excluding Wild and Bonus. It does not always pay, sometimes the chosen symbol simply does not line up, but when the transform hits a high-paying character on a Reel Cascades active layout, the Ghost is what triggers your first big chain. Beetlejuice himself is the top symbol and pays from two of a kind, which is part of why the feature can ramp so fast.

Visually it leans hard into the Tim Burton source: striped black-and-white spirals behind the grid, neon purple and magenta lighting, and Beetlejuice in his striped suit leering beside the reels next to the marquee Bonus icon. Light & Wonder built this on the SG Digital Casinarena engine under the BTG Megaways license, and the 25,000x cap sits squarely on stacking that unlimited multiplier deep into a retriggered round.
