MICROGAMING TO MAKE UPCOMING SLOTS WITH MEGAWAYS™ GAME MECHANIC
Published: November 10, 2020

Coming soon from Microgaming is the new Shamrock Holmes Megaways online pokie – the first online pokie from Microgaming to feature the innovative Megaways™ game mechanic from Big Time Gaming. Microgaming is the oldest and most famous online casino software provider in the world. The company first started developing and supplying games to online casinos back in 1994 when online casinos were in their infancy.
Microgaming has developed several famous online slots that some of you will already be familiar with by now, such as Mega Moolah, Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck II, Game of Thrones, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, Tarzan, Bridesmaids, Jungle Jim – El Dorado, and Playboy, to name just a few great games. Big Time Gaming is another leading online casino software company that brought you hits such as Temple Quest, White Rabbit Megaways, Donuts, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Extra Chilli Megaways, and Bonanza Megaways.
The Megaways game mechanic is often found on 6 reeled slots, and the number of win ways that are possible on any spin can be as many as 117,649 ways. The size of each symbol on all 6 reels can vary, and each reel can have anywhere from 2 to 5 symbols, which means that you never know how many win ways the next spin will be played with.
“Megaways™ has had huge success and we’re excited to be integrating the mechanic into some of our future games,” said the Microgaming CEO, John Coleman. “Big Time Gaming are proven innovators, and we are delighted to extend our relationship with them and grow their presence on our platform,” added Coleman.
The Big Time Gaming CEO, Nik Robinson, also commented. He said, “We’re on a mission to bring the Megaways™ revolution to a bigger audience, and they don’t come much bigger than Microgaming. These guys were industry pioneers and today they remain one of the biggest forces in the gaming space.” He then went on to say, “As ardent slots fans, we’re delighted to be contributing in a small way to the Microgaming story.” These comments came directly from the official Microgaming website.
I can’t wait for the new Shamrock Holmes Megaways online slot to arrive. It’s scheduled for release on desktop and mobile in January 2021, and it will be released simultaneously on desktop and mobile. Canadians will be able to enjoy playing on this eagerly-awaited new slot at several of our reviewed Canadian online casinos such as Royal Vegas Casino, Jackpot City Casino and Casino.com. While you’re waiting for Microgaming’s first Megaways slot to arrive, why not check out some of the other great games that I mentioned above in the meantime.
