Big Time Gaming Showcases Roadmap for 2022 at Evolution’s Online Event

Yesterday, Evolution hosted a global online event where they presented their vision and plans for the year. Among them were 25 of the total of 88 new games planned for this year. Nik Robinson, CEO of Big Time Gaming, made an appearance among the group’s other companies, including NetEnt, Red Tiger and Ezugi, where he announced big plans that his team has for the next six months and ahead. Slot enthusiasts and fans alike have several exciting titles to look forward to following months of transition following the acquisition. Here is a quick summary of what was presented.

Launching this month is BTG’s new slot called Apollo Pays. This mythical slot will bring the tried and tested hold and spin mechanic to Megaways, enabling players to have more control over the reels. Next up is a Megaways slot called Wild Portals, featuring a fast-paced gameplay with a special MegaWild symbol that has a multiplier that grows by extracting chosen symbol instanced from the wheels. It sounded a lot like The Final Countdown bonus feature but is to be seen.

The first IP slot to roll out from the Big Time Gaming studio this year is the Millionaire Rush. Having extended their contract for another five years, it will be the first in the series with the Megaclsuters mechanic. The TV show game will also have the new Megatrail feature that unlocks bonuses with winning reactions. Among the features are symbol transformations, free spins and straight-up 1,000x win multipliers.

Further announcements were made, including the addition of bonus buys to existing slots like Danger High Voltage or Lil’ Devil, which Nik reminded everyone has a 100,000x win potential, as well as brand-new titles. One game that the CEO said is dear to him is Golden Catch which will be launching in May. The games will have win exchange as standard in markets where bonus buys are not allowed, such as the UK.

For the second part of the year, Nik was not willing to give away too much information, but he did mention some interesting titles. Among them is the Megaways MAX slot that is coming in Q3 of 2022. Vegas Megaways is another game that will have a video poker highroller gamble system to gain more free spins in the feature. Finally, they are preparing a slot called Outlaw that will have the same sound space as Lil’ Devil and Wild Flower with The Cult’s music in it. Last but not least, Big Time Gaming is working on a top-secret project called Epic Spins, which will also see the light of the day, or not, depending on where you live, this year.
