Microgaming Partners with Big Time Gaming for Megaways™ Mechanic

Microgaming has announced it has made an agreement with games studio Big Time Gaming (BTG).  The deal will see the software provider employ BTG’s trademarked Megaways™ mechanic in a number of upcoming slots. 

Great Potential

The Isle of Man company will work alongside its network of independent game studios to integrate Megaways™ into suitable new titles set for its platform. First up for the Megaways™ treatment is Shamrock Holmes, which is earmarked for network-wide release in January. 

BTG launched Megaways™ in 2016. The goal was ramping up player engagement in slots through a dynamic, fast-paced gaming experience.

The random reel modifier system enables any given spin to produce an ever-changing number of symbols across the reels. This allows players to experience a totally different game each time with hundreds of thousands of possible ways to win.

The Impressions

Microgaming chief executive John Coleman spoke about the newest deal.

“Megaways has had huge success and we’re excited to be integrating the mechanic into some of our future games.

Big Time Gaming are proven innovators,” he said. And “we are delighted to extend our relationship with them and grow their presence on our platform.”

BTG chief executive Nik Robinson stated the following.

“We’re on a mission to bring the Megaways revolution to a bigger audience, and they don’t come much bigger than Microgaming. 

These guys were industry pioneers and today they remain one of the biggest forces in the gaming space,” he added. “As ardent slots fans, we’re delighted to be contributing in a small way to the Microgaming story.”

In other news, Microgaming has recently announced its support for Germany’s proposed online gaming regulations. The supplier also affirmed its commitment to providing its customers with a solution designed to prepare them for the new regime.

Microgaming will launch a solution by October 15. More than 150 games will be made available to Microgaming customers in the market. This includes top titles Book of Oz (Triple Edge Studios), 9 Masks of Fire (Gameburger Studios) and Bonanza (Big Time Gaming).
