About Big Time Gaming

Big Time Gaming (BTG) is the Australian studio that invented the Megaways slot mechanic (a dynamic reel structure producing up to 117,649 ways to win on each spin, now licensed to dozens of other studios including Pragmatic Play, Blueprint, Red Tiger and Yggdrasil. BTG was acquired by Evolution in July 2021 for $471 million in cash plus a deferred payment structure tied to Megaways licensing revenue, validating the long-term value of the patent. The studio's own catalogue is small but high-impact: Bonanza Megaways (the original), Extra Chilli, White Rabbit, Lil Devil and Max Megaways. Their slots are characterised by extreme volatility, deep bonus rounds with multiplier mechanics and headline max-wins frequently above 50,000x. BTG holds Maltese licences. For players, BTG-developed Megaways titles tend to be the high-water-mark for the mechanic) heavier on volatility than the Megaways-licensed competitors that ship more accessible variants.
