Big Time Gaming casinos
The Megaways engine — reels whose symbol count changes on every spin.
Big Time Gaming is the studio behind Megaways, the mechanic where each reel holds a different number of symbols on every spin and the number of ways to win moves with it, up to well over a hundred thousand. It is licensed to other studios, so a lobby can be full of Megaways games with barely a title from the studio that invented it.
The rule, not our mood
A casino appears here when we hold evidence it carries Big Time Gaming games — a title of theirs catalogued in its lobby, their name in the live-table count we recorded, or the operator's own published studio list. Every row says which of the three it is, and the order is our 100-point score, not the strength of the evidence.

Live table counts are ours, recorded per casino with a date; capacity varies through the week, so a count is a snapshot rather than a constant. An em dash means we hold no count for that operator, not that it has none.

What we hold on Big Time Gaming, and how strong it is
We have catalogued 6 titles from this studio, and every one of them carries the studio's own published return figure — from 95.67% to 96.54%, a spread wide enough that the title matters as much as the studio.
12 casinos in this catalogue meet the rule above. The remaining 12 rest on the operator's own studio list — we hold this studio's titles but have not yet recorded one of them in a named lobby, so that is the honest ceiling of what we can say today. An operator has little reason to invent a supplier, but a marketing page goes stale, and lobbies drop studios overnight without announcing it.
The general questions — what a studio decides versus what the casino decides, why the same title can pay differently in two lobbies, and how to check a lobby yourself in about two minutes — are answered once, on the studios hub, rather than repeated under every studio.
Megaways is a licence, not a studio
This is the single most common misreading of a lobby. Megaways appears in the names of games from many different developers, because the engine is licensed out — a casino advertising "200+ Megaways slots" is describing a mechanic across its whole catalogue, not a relationship with Big Time Gaming. If you are looking for this studio's own titles, filter by provider rather than searching the word.
The mechanic itself has a consistent character regardless of who builds on it. Ways to win vary wildly spin to spin, wins are typically driven by cascades and a rising multiplier in the free-spin round, and the distribution is heavily skewed: long stretches of nothing punctuated by results that a fixed-line slot cannot produce. The advertised maximum win is a real but extremely rare outcome, and treating it as a target rather than a curiosity is the fastest way to misjudge a bankroll.
The practical consequence for reading this page: a casino carrying Megaways titles from other studios will not appear in the list above on that basis. Our rule looks for this studio's own games, its name in the live-table record, or the operator naming it in its own supplier list — not for a mechanic.
One figure per game, and a second set of official pages
Big Time Gaming publishes very little per title. Its own game pages give a single return figure and the number of ways to win — no volatility rating, no maximum win and no list of alternative settings. Evolution, which names the studio among its brands, keeps a second set of pages for five of the six titles we hold, with a volatility label and, for some of them, a maximum win. For three of those five, the two sets agree on the return; for Danger High Voltage and Millionaire Megaways they do not, and for Bonanza they give different release years. Star Clusters Megaclusters has no Evolution page at all, so the studio's single figure is all there is. Where they differ, the figure in our tables is the studio's own, and the game's review names the other one.
Because neither set of pages lists alternative settings, the only check open to a player is a direct one: compare the return shown in the game's own information screen with the studio's published figure. A lower number means a version that no official page describes, and that is a question for the casino before a deposit rather than after one. The same thin specification is why every Big Time Gaming row above shows a dash for volatility: the studio does not state one, and we do not borrow a label from a page that is not the studio's.
