Big Time Gaming has announced GOLD MEGAWAYS, a new slot launching August 18 with Flutter Entertainment, Entain, Leo Vegas Group, Unibet, and Betsson Group.
BTG breathed new life into the slots vertical when it introduced the Megaways game engine. The random reel-modifier mechanic, which has since been adopted on licence by many of the biggest software developers in the industry, enables the number of winning pay lines on a slot to change with every spin.

Other features include Win Exchange, which gives players the option to swap wins of 70 times stake or more for 12 free spins. Additionally, winning between 20 and 70 times stake offers the option to exchange the entire win for the chance to be awarded 12 free spins.
BTG CEO, Nik Robinson, said: “Gold was Big Time Gaming’s first ever game. We set out then to change the industry with a new breed of slot mechanics and it’s fitting that Gold is crowned with Megaways for its 10th Anniversary edition.
“As a business we thrive on innovation, and we can’t wait to reveal what we’re working on with Evolution! The upcoming decade of will see a jurassic shift in online entertainment!”
SG Digital Content Specialist Director, Rob Procter, added: “We’re thrilled to be the debut platform for GOLD MEGAWAYS because we know that this is a really big release. The original Megaways was so influential, and this is its next phase. BTG are always pushing the boundaries, always innovating and it’s fun to imagine just what they will do next.”
