Mahjong Ways (PG Soft) is the game that started the revolution. While its sequel often gets more attention, the original Mahjong Ways remains a favorite in Bangladesh due to its simpler mechanics and frequent payouts (ঘন ঘন পেমেন্ট).
If you are looking to master this 5-reel, 4-row video slot, you need to understand the Gold Plated Symbols and the Multiplier Chain.
The Core Mechanic: Transforming Gold Symbols (গোল্ডেন সিম্বল রূপান্তর)
In Mahjong Ways 1, you will see some symbols plated in gold. These only appear on reels 2, 3, and 4.
When these symbols participate in a win, they don't just disappear. They transform into Wild symbols for the next cascade.
- Strategy Tip: Watch for gold symbols in the middle reels. They are your key to extending winning streaks.
Understanding the Multipliers (মাল্টিপ্লায়ার বোঝা)
At the top of the reels, you will see a multiplier bar: x1, x2, x3, x5.
- First Win: x1 payout.
- Second Win (Cascade): x2 payout.
- Third Win: x3 payout.
- Fourth & Subsequent Wins: x5 payout.
During Free Spins, these values double to x2, x4, x6, x10! This is where the massive wins happen (বিশাল জয়).
Betting Strategy for Beginners (নতুনদের জন্য বেটিং কৌশল)
- Start Low (কম দিয়ে শুরু করুন): Begin with 10-20 BDT spins to gauge the volatility.
- Aim for Scatters: The base game pays well, but the Free Spins (with x10 multiplier) are the goal.
- Use the "Turbo" Mode: Mahjong Ways is a fast game. Turbo mode helps you cycle through spins faster to hit the bonus round.
