Big Time Gaming

Big Time Gaming is an Australian studio based in Sydney, founded in 2011 and acquired by Evolution in 2021 for around 450m EUR.

Megaways. BTG invented the mechanic where each reel carries a variable number of symbols per spin, producing up to 117,649 ways to win. It is licensed to dozens of studios, which is why Megaways titles appear credited to Red Tiger, Blueprint Gaming and Pragmatic Play. The engine is BTG’s regardless of whose name is on the game.

The ones that get played. Bonanza, the original Megaways slot and still the reference point. White Rabbit, which brought the bonus buy to a mainstream audience. Danger High Voltage.

Practically speaking, Megaways slots are high variance by design. Long dry spells are normal and the headline maximum win is rarely approached. Bonus buy features are restricted or prohibited in several regulated markets including the UK.
