SG Gaming Megaways

Megaways Casinos

The SG Gaming brand, which operates as a division of the Scientific Games Corporation, is actually the product of a merger of two other brands – Barcrest and The Global Draw. The former of these companies was founded back in 1968, providing gaming machines and content to arcades and bingo halls. Its first products were analogue fruit machines, and over the proceeding decade, Barcrest became quite the strong force in the UK amusement sector. Not only did it make waves in the United Kingdom, but across various locations in Europe as well.

Thirty years later, and Barcrest expanded its product range into the digital gaming sphere, with in-house design and development teams being responsible for the creation and release of some exciting new online games. The legendary Rainbow Riches online slot game came from this brand, for example. It was in 2011 that Barcrest found itself being acquired by the Scientific Games company.

The Global Draw, on the other hand, was founded in the late 90s as a way of forming the world’s first wide area, centrally determined gaming system. This came about thanks to the introduction of server-based gaming machines within licensed UK betting offices. The brand became known as the fastest growing UK private company between 2003 and 2005, and it was the year after this that Scientific Games purchased it in a full takeover.

The SG Gaming division of the company was created in 2012, when Barcrest and The Global Draw were brought together. With the combine expertise and experience of both brands, the gaming solutions produced by SG Gaming have been stellar from the very beginning.

In May of 2019, it was announced that Big Time Gaming had entered into a partnership with the SG Gaming brand. Through this, it licences its Megaways™ function out to the SG Gaming developer, which is then able to utilise such in its slot game releases. Up until now though, there haven’t been any creations released with Megaways™ that are specifically SG Gaming products.

That’s not to say that there won’t be any released in the near future, as there are some Megaways™ titles set to be launched in 2021. However, the only ones that have some connection to SG Gaming that have already been released include those that have been released as part of Barcrest and others under the Scientific Games umbrella. So, you can look towards Rainbow Riches Megaways™, Beetlejuice Megaways™ and Road to Riches Megaways™ for these games.

While it’s true that there are two SG Gaming Megaways™ releases coming up this year ( 2021 ), they aren’t yet available to play. Of course, we can only surmise that they will be of the highest quality, thanks to the fact that SG Gaming has become quite the exceptional brand in this area. The first game to be released this year will be Perfect Potions Megaways™, which is due for an April launch, while the other is Invaders Megaways™, which is currently scheduled for a June 2021 release.

Outside of those that are specifically SG Gaming titles, the Rainbow Riches Megaways™ game is definitely one to check out. The original game was released by the Barcrest developer prior to it being acquired by SG Gaming, but it remains as quite the compelling slot with the Megaways™ function included in it. It utilises the Irish theme perfectly, allowing you to visit the Emerald Isle and experience some of its folklore. The game also features a compelling free spins round for you to try and trigger, which includes its own unlimited win multiplier alongside. You can also buy your way into that round, if you so wish to. Alongside all of that, there’s a wild symbol to substitute for others and help form wins, cascading wins in action and a super gem bonus round, too.
