About the Provider

Inventors of Megaways™ Since 2011

Big Time Gaming is a Sydney-based iGaming studio founded in 2011 by Nik Robinson, Huw McIntosh, and a core team of developers who set out to change how slot reels could behave. Their answer was the Megaways™ mechanic: a patented random reel modifier that dynamically varies the number of symbols displayed on each reel with every spin, generating up to 117,649 ways to win from a single standard 6-reel layout.

The Megaways™ patent transformed not just BTG's own catalogue but the broader industry. By licensing the mechanic to more than 100 studios including Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Blueprint Gaming, and iSoftBet, BTG created an entirely new slot format that now powers some of the most-played titles across regulated markets globally. Bonanza Megaways, released in 2016, remains one of the most replicated template games in iGaming history.

OHS Gaming operators access the full BTG catalogue through a single integration, complete with white-label platform support and connectivity across regulated jurisdictions. With MGA and UKGC licences alongside approvals in multiple regulated markets, BTG titles are deployable across the broadest range of iGaming markets your platform serves.

Key Provider Features

What operators get when they integrate Big Time Gaming through the OHS Gaming platform.

Megaways™ Native Catalogue

BTG's own Megaways™ titles are the originals. Games like Bonanza Megaways and White Rabbit Megaways deliver the mechanic as its inventors intended, with dynamic reel heights, cascading wins, and unlimited free spins driving session depth. Access them all via OHS Gaming's provider network.

Original Megaways™

Up to 117,649 Ways to Win

The Megaways™ mechanic randomly assigns 2 to 7 symbols to each of the 6 reels on every spin. Combined with a horizontal reel above or below, this generates up to 117,649 active ways to win per spin, a win-line density no fixed-payline game can match. Similar all-ways mechanics are available from Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, and Yggdrasil Gaming in our network.

117,649 Max Ways

Cascading Wins with Multipliers

Winning symbols are removed and replaced by new ones falling from above. Each cascade within a free spins round adds to a running multiplier, compounding win values throughout the feature. This cascade-plus-multiplier structure is the core of what makes BTG titles some of the highest-variance games in any operator lobby, a format also refined by premium studios like NetEnt with titles such as Gonzo's Quest.

Cascade Multipliers

MGA and UKGC Compliance

Big Time Gaming holds licences from the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission, alongside approvals across multiple additional regulated markets. OHS Gaming's platform delivers BTG's full certified catalogue with built-in compliance tooling, so operators can deploy in new jurisdictions without friction.

High Max Win Potential

BTG titles are engineered around large win ceilings. Bonanza Megaways delivers up to 25,000x stake. Extra Chilli and White Rabbit Megaways target similarly elevated max wins. These figures are driven by the interaction of unlimited free spins, compounding cascade multipliers, and the sheer volume of ways to win the Megaways™ format provides.

Core Game Mechanics

The signature engineering and design foundations powering Big Time Gaming titles across the OHS Gaming operator network.

Megaways™ Random Reel Modifier

The core of the BTG engine: on every spin, each of the 6 reels is randomly assigned 2 to 7 symbol positions. The total number of active ways to win is calculated as the product of all reel heights, reaching up to 117,649 on a standard Megaways™ setup. The mechanic is patented and licensed to 100+ studios, making it the most widely deployed slot innovation in modern iGaming. Explore Megaways™ titles from licensed partners such as Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, and Yggdrasil Gaming in our network.

Cascading Wins and Multipliers

Winning symbols are removed and replaced from above after each paying combination. In BTG free spins rounds, each successful cascade increments a running multiplier with no cap, compounding win values throughout the feature. This unlimited multiplier behaviour is the primary driver of BTG's outsized max win ceilings and is what differentiates the originals from licensed Megaways™ variants.

Unlimited Free Spins

BTG free spins rounds are retriggerable without a cap: each additional scatter landing during the feature adds more spins to the remaining count. Combined with the growing cascade multiplier, this creates open-ended bonus sessions where a long run of cascades during a long free spins sequence can build to the title's maximum win threshold.

Horizontal Reel and Scatter Delivery

In Bonanza Megaways and several other BTG originals, a separate horizontal reel runs across the top of the grid above reels 2 to 5. This reel contributes additional symbols into the ways-to-win calculation and is the primary delivery mechanism for scatter symbols that trigger the free spins bonus, adding a structural uniqueness to the BTG grid format.
