Microgaming has announced a partnership with Big Time Gaming (BTG) in which the software provider will employ BTG’s Megaways mechanic in a number of upcoming slots.
The partnership will see Microgaming collaborate with its portfolio of independent game studios in order to integrate Megaways into its upcoming titles. It has also been revealed that the first slot to get the Megaways treatment will be Shamrock Holmes, the firm’s network-wide release set for January.
John Coleman, CEO at Microgaming, commented: “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, and we are delighted to extend our relationship with them and grow their presence on our platform.”
BTG launched its Megaways mechanic in 2016 with the ultimate goal to increase player engagement in slots through a ‘dynamic, fast-paced gaming experience’. Since its launch the mechanic has been implemented into a variety of slot titles such as Red Tiger’s Piggy Riches Megaways, which was recently named as the top slot in the UK market so far this year by SlotCatalog.
Nik Robinson, CEO at Big Time Gaming, added: “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. As ardent slots fans, we’re delighted to be contributing in a small way to the Microgaming story.”
