RTG Controversy
In 2016, Big Time Games faced criticism over activity on an online casino forum. A member posted screenshots of wins while quietly promoting a BTG slot. The same images were also entered in a screenshot contest for a grand prize sponsored by Big Time Gaming.
Forum administrators later determined that the original poster appeared to use the same computer as a Big Time Gaming representative who also posted on the forum. BTG blamed the incident on an overly enthusiastic employee. The explanation did not account for why the alleged winner and the company representative had used the same computer.
BTG Games
RTG is described as offering progressive jackpots of up to 36,000x. Its casino slots are listed with RTPs ranging from 95% to 97.8%. Depending on the game, bets can range from.01 to 400 coins per spin.
Among BTG’s newer slot features, the review highlights Triple Reaction™ mechanics. Players can send the reels spinning in three directions, giving each round a different feel. The review names these as some of the provider’s most popular titles:
- Queen of Riches
- Tumbling Treasures
- Temple Quest
- Lucky Streak
- Opal Fruits
- Kingmaker
- Donuts
- Extra Chili
- White Rabbit
- Bonanza
The company’s “reactor” range is a distinctive slot category, noted in the review for pronounced 3D effects and substantial progressive jackpots. Titles in this group include:
- Feathered Frenzy
- Mr. Multiplier
- Diamonds
- Joker Jackpot
The review also lists four RTG table games:
- Auto Roulette
- Auto Blackjack
- Finest Roulette
- VIP Roulette
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Games are available in more than 20 languages
- Available at some online casinos described as reputable
- Players can set wager limits to help manage their play
- Some titles can be played for free, without a cash wager
Cons
- Several slots and table games use closely related themes
- Some games have very high variance, which can be intimidating for casual players.
- The catalogue is relatively small.
- The company’s history includes past indiscretions
Conclusion
BTG’s slots may suit high rollers better than casual players: despite their entertainment value, the review describes their style as unsettling for some recreational players. The forum incident may also give readers reason for caution, particularly given the review’s claim that Big Time Gaming continued to run similar promotions. Partnerships with established gaming companies, including Microgaming, Gaming Technology Solutions and OpenBet, may reassure some players, but do not resolve the concerns raised by that episode.
