Big Time Gaming - the brand behind Megaways pokies

Big Time Gaming, founded in 2011, started with a small team of dedicated developers focused on creating exciting games for the online casino industry. Despite its humble beginnings, the company has grown significantly.

By 2018, Big Time Gaming had established itself as a highly professional and respected game provider. The company is known for several popular pokies including Bonanza, White Rabbit, and Danger High Voltage.

Additionally, the company has made a bigger mark on the online pokie industry by sharing it’s Megaways mechanic with other game suppliers in the industry. Nowadays you can find the Megaways concept in games by many providers including Blueprint, Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Light & Wonder, Netent, Stakelogic, Fantasma Games, and more.

On this page, you will find more information about Big Time Gaming’s full portfolio of pokies, details about the company, and the casinos that offer their games.

The founding of the company

Nik Robinson is the founder and CEO of Big Time Gaming. He has a proven track record with years of experience in the gambling industry. Before founding Big Time Gaming in 2011, Nik owned NT Gaming, a well-known company in the iGaming industry.

He also spent several years working at Openbet, gaining valuable knowledge and experience. Nik used this expertise to set up Big Time Gaming, which was established in Australia. The company still maintains an office in Sydney.

Amazing innovations made Big Time Gaming a big name

Big Time Gaming is known for delivering innovative casino games. One of Big Time Gaming’s most popular innovation are the Megaways TM pokies. BTG’s pokies with the Megaways Feature offer sometimes up to 117.649 ways to win. And during free spins features this number can even go up to 248.832 because of extending reels (in for example White Rabbit).

And not only the Megaways TM innovation is something BTG is well-known for. Games like Bonanza and White Rabbit are also popular because of the win reactions feature. After each win the symbols that created the win will disappear. Once disappeared new symbols will drop down which can lead to new combinations. In this way each win can create another win.

”White Rabbit is our most sophisticated game to date. It takes our innovative Megaways mechanic to the next level, ramping up the entertainment factor for both low and high rolling players.”

The last innovation is want to note is a recent one. While playing the White Rabbit pokie you can buy the free spins feature using the Feature Drop TM feature. Buying this feature will cost you your bet times 100. This sounds expensive but you can lower the cost by playing the game.

Each time you land a Feature Drop symbol the cost will be reduces by between 0.2 and 2 times your bet. In this way you can simply lower the costs of the Feature Drop by playing the game. Once the prize is at a decent level you can decide to buy it!

My all-time favorite pokies by Big Time Gaming

Below I will explain what my top 3 favourite Big Time Gaming pokies are. You can try all these games at the casino that I have listed in the table at the top of this article. When you are still finding out how a pokie works I recommend playing with a smaller bet. When you fully understand the game you will be able to place higher bets in order to hit some big wins. Ready for my favourites? I will start with my number one; Danger High Voltage!

1. Danger High Voltage

I recently discovered the Danger High Voltage pokie for a second time. The first time I tried this game I didn’t managed to land a bonus game, and a forgot about it quickly. But after a while I opened this game again to give it a second try, and it was worth my time! During this session I landed a 1.500x win during the bonus game. A spectacular win which changed my opinion about this Big Time Gaming pokie.

Danger High Voltage is based on a disco theme and a song called Danger High Voltage by Elektric Six. When you don’t know it you should definitely check out this epic video clip / amazing song on Youtube.  Each spins offers you 4086 ways to win and Danger High Voltage is packed with Wilds that go up to x6 during the regular game. When landing the bonus (min. 3 Scatters) you can choose between the Gates of Hell or High Voltage Free Spins. The first offers up to 16 sticky wilds and up to 12 extra free spins. The second offers Wild Reels with a multiplier up to x66 and unlimited Free Spins. Both bonuses can award amazing wins.

During the regular game the Skull, Bell, Taco and Disco Ball pay the best. Other symbols like the A, K and Q don’t pay that good unless you land a lot in combination with Wild Reels and multipliers. Open this amazing game and try it for yourselves. I hope you can also land a huge win!

2. Bonanza

During Bonanza you will enjoy up to 117.649  Megaways to win. Every win during Bonanza will trigger a reaction which can provide you with additional wins. The Diamond and Gems symbols pay the best, the other symbols like A, K and Q pay only decent prizes in huge numbers. During Bonanza you can land Wilds and Scatters for extra winnings. You will need at least four symbols to land the Free Spins Bonus (GOLD). In this scenario you will receive 12 Free Spins with an increasing multiplier. For every additional Scatter you land you will receive 5 extra free spins. During your free spins every win will add x1 to your multiplier. By wining during a lot of spins and by hitting multiple reactions the multiplier can increase up to +20. Which will create amazing wins when landing some good combinations. Good luck and have fun during Bonanza!

3. White Rabbit

The White Rabbit is the most recent title by Big Time Gaming. The regular game offers up to 7 symbols per reel each spin which produces up to 16.807 way to win. The White Rabbit pokie offers some high paying gems, Wilds and one really good paying symbol; The Queen. The scatter symbol is represented by a large symbol with a rabbit. The Scatter symbol only appear on reels 2,3 and 4. After hitting three Scatters you will enter the bonus rounds including 15 Free Spins. During the Free Spins you can land cupcakes on the reels to increase the reel with one more symbol. And after hitting the maximum amount of 12 symbols you will retrigger the bonus with a maximum of 12 additional spins. All reels you will fill completely will convert into Queen’s Reels, which hold more Queen symbols and Wilds.

During every spin you will also be able to land the Caterpillar bonus. But this one is pretty boring in my opinion. When the screen gets darker the Caterpillar will add one of more Wilds to the reels. These Wilds can have a multiplier up to 3. Most of the times this feature awards small prizes. And sometimes it doesn’t pay at all. This might be the only thing I dislike about this pokie.

Tapcards TM

Big Time Gaming doesn’t just develop pokies; the company also creates Instant Win games for online players. One type of BTG’s Instant Win games is TapCards. TapCards are BTG’s modern take on traditional scratch cards.

In each game, players can reveal symbols to form winning combinations. Every winning combination earns a prize, with the potential for impressive jackpots and quick big wins. Many TapCard games are based on popular pokies that Big Time Gaming has developed in the past.

BTG’s TapCard games have had an impressive initial launch. They are set to be released through multiple major lottery partners in America and top operators across Europe.

Big Win on Danger High Voltage by Big Time Gaming

My opinion about games offered by BTG

Personally I enjoy to play some pokies from time to time. And that’s why I know the games by Big Time Gaming. In the past I have played Bonanza and Danger High Voltage a lot. Besides that I also played Dragon Born and Queen of Riches a few times. But since the new White Rabbit was launched I really liked that one. Although I had the bonus a few times I never land a good win on White Rabbit. But I am still waiting to expend one row to 12 to retrigger the bonus.

Most of the games of Big Time Gaming are great fun. But sometimes playing them can be very annoying. Especially Bonanza can sometimes really make you lose it. Most of the times it is very hard to land the bonus game during Bonanza. Although it teases you a lot, most of the times you miss the bonus or a huge win by just one Scatter or one missing symbol. This makes the game very exciting, but it can also frustrate you.

When you land a bonus game during a Big Time Gaming game you can expect to see some fireworks. Recently I won over €900 with only a €0,60 bet on Danger High Voltage. That’s 1.500x my bet! And I know videos of people landing a 16.500x win on Bonanza. You might be the lucky next Big Win! But please keep in mind, sometimes bonus games can also be very disappointing. A few weeks ago I landed the bonus on Bonanza with a €1 stake and I walked away with only €7,40.
