Fluffy Favourites Megaways takes Eyecon's best-known fairground line-up and rebuilds it on a Megaways engine, swapping the original's fixed reels for up to 117,649 ways to win on every spin. It keeps the cascading wins and claw-machine wild multipliers that made the base game a UK slots staple, but the shifting reel heights and stacked multiplier potential make this a noticeably higher-ceiling, higher-variance spin than its predecessor. RTP sits at 94.99% with medium volatility and a maximum win of up to 20,000x stake.

The Fluffy Favourites story
Eyecon's original Fluffy Favourites has been a fixture of UK slot floors and online lobbies since the 2000s, built around a travelling fairground stocked with plush toy prizes — elephants, dogs, ducks and the rest of the claw-machine menagerie. Fluffy Favourites Megaways, released in March 2021, doesn't reinvent that cast. Instead it drops the same characters into a Megaways frame, pairing the familiar fairground setting with the cascading-reels, variable-ways format popularised across the wider slots market. It's a sequel built for players who already know the symbols and want a faster, higher-variance way to spin them.
Theme, Gameplay & Symbols
The fairground dressing carries over intact: a big top backdrop, carnival bunting and a claw-machine crane sit around the reels, with the animal symbols — elephant, dog, duck, and the lower-value playing-card royals — filling the grid. The elephant is the scatter symbol and the game's most valuable icon; landing three or more anywhere on screen pays a scatter win and triggers the free games round.
What's different from the base game is the reel structure. Each of the six reels can display anywhere between two and seven symbols on a given spin, which is what generates the up-to-117,649 ways to win — far beyond the fixed handful of paylines the original Fluffy Favourites offers. A small carousel strip sits above reels two to five, cycling through animal prizes purely for flavour rather than paying out directly.
Presentation & Sound
Visually it's a bright, cartoon-style fairground rendered in clean, high-contrast art rather than anything photorealistic — the animals are stylised plush-toy versions of themselves, not lifelike creatures, and the tone stays firmly in classic arcade-game territory. A jaunty fairground/carnival soundtrack loops behind play, picking up tempo slightly during cascades, with a bigger fanfare cue reserved for the free games trigger and any multiplied win. None of it strays into anything youth-oriented; it reads as a nostalgic nod to seaside arcades rather than character-driven branding.
How to Play
- Set your stake using the bet selector — Fluffy Favourites Megaways accepts stakes from 20p up to £10 per spin.
- Press spin. The reels drop to a randomised height (2-7 symbols per reel), determining how many of the up to 117,649 ways are active for that spin.
- Winning symbol combinations pay out and then explode, with new symbols cascading down to fill the gaps — this can chain into further wins from a single spin.
- Watch for the claw/wild symbol, which substitutes for everything except the elephant scatter and carries a random multiplier value.
- Land three or more elephant scatters anywhere on the grid to trigger the free games feature.
- During free games, cascading wins build a persistent multiplier that keeps climbing as the round continues.
Features & Mechanics
The mechanical core of Fluffy Favourites Megaways is the combination of the Megaways ways-to-win engine with Eyecon's cascading reel system, plus a claw-machine wild multiplier layered on top.
Megaways reels & cascades: each spin randomises the number of symbols shown on every reel (between two and seven), which changes the total number of active ways to win, up to a maximum of 117,649. When a win lands, the winning symbols are removed and replaced by symbols dropping from above, and this repeats until no further wins appear on the grid.
Claw wild multiplier: the claw symbol acts as a wild, substituting for all paying symbols other than the elephant scatter. Each claw that lands carries a random multiplier value between 1x and 5x. Where more than one claw wild contributes to a winning combination, their multiplier values are multiplied together before being applied to that win — so two claws each carrying a 5x value can combine into a 25x boost on that particular payout.
Free games: landing three or more scattered elephant symbols awards 9 free games. Additional elephant scatters landing during the feature add 3 more free games each, and cascading wins during this round build a cumulative multiplier that carries across the remaining spins, which is where the bulk of the game's biggest payouts come from.
Volatility & Win Potential
Eyecon rates Fluffy Favourites Megaways as medium volatility, with a return to player of 94.99%. Third-party tracking puts the base-game hit frequency at roughly 45%, meaning a win of some size lands on average a little more often than every other spin, though the free games and stacked claw multipliers are where the largest payouts are concentrated. The game's maximum win is stated at up to 20,000x the triggering stake. Stakes run from 20p up to £10 per spin, and the elephant scatter symbol carries the highest base-game pay value.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
- Up to 117,649 ways to win, a big step up in variance from the original fixed-payline Fluffy Favourites
- Familiar, well-loved fairground theme and symbol set for existing Fluffy Favourites fans
- Stacking claw wild multipliers add genuine upside to individual cascades
- Free games round with a persistent, climbing multiplier
Cons:
- 94.99% RTP sits toward the lower end for a modern Megaways title
- Medium volatility means the free games trigger, where the biggest wins live, isn't especially frequent
- Visual presentation is close to the original Fluffy Favourites rather than a full reimagining
Final Verdict
Fluffy Favourites Megaways does exactly what its name promises: it takes a familiar, well-worn fairground theme and gives it a genuinely different engine to run on. The jump from fixed paylines to up to 117,649 ways, combined with the claw wild's stacking multiplier, gives the format more upside than the original game ever offered, while the free games round remains the main event for anyone chasing a bigger payout. The 94.99% RTP is a fair rather than outstanding number by current Megaways standards, but for players who already know and like the Fluffy Favourites cast, this variant is a reasonable, higher-variance way to keep playing it.
