BTG Celebrates 10th Birthday with More Exciting Games

When Nik Robison founded Big Time Gaming in 2011, no one could have imagined the impact this small Australian game studio would have on the world of online gambling.

Together with Robinson and with the technical expertise of Huw McIntosh and the creative mind of Ian Schmidt, Big Time Gaming became the giant that it is today.

The launch of Bonanza was the perfect gift for the developer’s fifth birthday, becoming a huge hit that stayed popular to this day. However, Big Time Gaming will forever be known as the inventor of Megaways. This mechanic revolutionised the gaming market, bringing players 117,649 ways to win. It has since been licensed to almost every major game maker, becoming one of the most popular game engines ever created.

This year, the Aussies are celebrating their tenth birthday, and what better way to mark this occasion than to add more exciting games to the company’s growing portfolio of high-quality games.

Slot Vegas Fully Loaded Megaquads

Continuing where the original Slot Vegas Megaquads slot left off, the new addition to the Big Time Gaming lineup of games brings four brightly-coloured reel sets rolled into one.

Each of the four individual 4×4 grids come with 256 different ways to win, while the setup can be later increased to eight-by-eight, offering players 16,777,216 ways. Landing three or more matching symbols on adjacent reels starting from the leftmost one awards cash prizes. Once all grids are merged, you’ll need to land between five and eight icons, although the payout will be more generous.

A bet of just $0.20 is enough to get the reels moving, while the maximum stake is $20 per spin. The slot boasts medium to high volatility, with a payout percentage of 96.61%.

Playing card symbols are at the lower end of the paytable, followed by green, blue and red lucky sevens, a purple diamond. Wild symbols replace all symbols, except the Scatter. There are types of Wilds: standard ones, appearing on the three middle reels, and rainbow Wilds, which land only on reels 2 and 3. The Scatter is tasked with triggering the game’s bonus round.

The symbol multiplier present in the original title will be making its appearance in the sequel as well, although in a new way. On every spin, each of the high-paying symbols will be randomly awarded a multiplier value ranging from 1x to 100x. If a win is created using any of these symbols, the multiplier will boost your payout.

Landing two rainbow Wilds on side-by-side grids will trigger the Rainbow Wild bonus, merging two reel sets into one and awarding a random Wild.

The Free Spins round will merge adjacent play areas into two 4×8 sections, with each one offering 4,096 ways to win. The symbol multiplier stays fixed during the bonus and applied to any win players form. Four or more Scatter retrigger the round, adding six more spins to the count.

Two rainbow Wilds can land during Free Spins to unlock the Rainbow Wild bonus. That will merge all four reel sets into one, while players have one spin to make the most out of a staggering 16,777,216 ways to win!

Kingmaker Fully Loaded Megaways

It’s time to revisit the medieval world of the Four Kingdoms in this sequel to the popular Kingmaker Megaways release.

The new title comes with five dynamic reels where between two and seven symbols land on each of the rows. Players can benefit from up to 16,807 different ways to win, with at least two symbols required to form a winning combination. Playable across all platforms, the game accepts bets ranging from $0.20 to $20 per spin. Kingmaker Fully Loaded Megaways is a highly volatile release, with an RTP of 96.53%.

The background imagery will be familiar to all those who had the opportunity to play the original game, and together with the matching soundtrack, set a perfect atmosphere for an immersive playing experience.

Playing cards award the smallest prizes, while green snakes, red minotaurs, purple dragon, and blue manticore are the highest-paying icons. Get six of these to receive a payout worth ten times the bet.

Wilds appear only on reels 2, 3, 4 and 5, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter, to help players form additional winning combinations.

As the game’s title suggests, Kingmaker Fully Loaded uses Megaways. The popular game mechanic starts with a minimum of 32 ways to win, rising all the way up to 16,807.

Each flag displayed during a spin comes with a randomly generated multiplier, whose value can be anywhere from 1x to 99x. A multiplier is tied to a high-paying symbol. Form a winning combination with the said icon to see the corresponding multiplier applied to a win.

Landing three or more Scatter symbols triggers the Free Spins bonus round. The number of spins you receive depends on the number of Scatter used to unlock the feature. Three Scatter award seven spins, four deliver twelve, while players who activate the round with five Scatters will benefit from twenty spins. The values of any active flag multiplier are combined and carried over to the bonus round to boost any eventual wins.
