Big Time Gaming: Megaways Slots

Big Time Gaming is an entertainment company that concentrates on high-quality online casino games and has a long record of innovation. It was founded in 2011, and its management brings more than 30 years of combined experience in online gaming.

From the start, BTG pushed new ideas and today competes with far larger software houses. The company is based in Sydney, Australia, and operates globally under licences from the UK Gambling Commission, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority, among others. In 2021 Evolution acquired Big Time Gaming for €450m, paid in Evolution shares and cash.

BTG puts quality ahead of volume, so its catalogue is compact compared with most studios of its standing. Alongside blackjack and roulette it has released tap card games such as Diamonds Tap Cards, Dragon Born Tap Cards and Feathered Frenzy Tap Cards, but video slots are its core business.

The slot range numbers 34 titles, each available in 20 languages. The Megaways series is what the studio is famous for, and every release brings new ideas and a fresh theme. Strong graphics, sound and design are matched by a good choice of progressive jackpot games. BTG also partners with GTS, Openbet and MGS and keeps adding new releases.

Adding BTG slots is fast and straightforward with our casino API. One integration unlocks the studio's full catalogue, and the same connection gives you access to the 170+ game providers and 3,600+ games in our catalogue, which can be switched on just as quickly. BTG is also included in our Slots Bundle.

Three BTG titles that show the studio's range:

BTG uses HTML5, JavaScript and current graphics software to deliver high quality and strong engagement on every platform. Its creative director previously worked on complex titles for Rockstar Games, which helps explain the studio's high-end visuals and audio.

Because every BTG title is built in HTML5, the games run on desktops and laptops as well as Android and iOS phones and tablets. They scale automatically to each screen, so the experience holds up on any device.

Operators can use BTG games across a wide range of bonuses and promotions. Beyond its progressive jackpot titles, the studio has rewarded lucky players with prizes such as Tesla Model 3 cars, and it marked its 10th anniversary with a €100,000 giveaway promotion.

BTG holds licences from the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, British Columbia and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority. Each licence requires thorough checks of the supplier and its games, which is strong evidence of their fairness and security.

Recognition for BTG games includes:

• 2017: Casinomeister Award for The Best iGaming Software Experience, with Bonanza in first place and Danger High Voltage in second.
• 2021: Gold Megaways named Slot of the Week by SlotBeats.com.
