With the first megaways game set to arrive in January 2021, the studio will have several months to prepare how to best approach the megaways roll-out as well as plan how to scale up the experience from there on in.
Moving into Megaways Territory
On explaining the studio’s motivation behind the adoption of the feature, Microgaming CEO John Coleman was happy to offer his insight. Coleman said that the megaways feature had had a huge success and integrating the mechanic as a core part of the offer was an exciting step for his company.
The developers at Big Time Gaming have proven themselves as innovators, Coleman continued, and added that Microgaming considered it a privilege to extend the relationship with the studio and their unique platform.
Responding to this, Big Time Gaming CEO Nik Robinson said that the company was committed to expanding the reach of their unique slot mechanic to a wider audience.
