Use first-party company material
Start with Evolution’s Big Time Gaming pages and official factsheets. Record publication date, game title and mechanic wording instead of relying on an affiliate history paragraph.
Big Time Gaming created the Megaways mechanic, but a familiar reel layout alone does not prove that a title uses the licensed system. Supplier records, game rules and version details provide a stronger identification trail.
Read the individual rules
Confirm reel structure, symbol-height range, adjacent-reel win rule and maximum theoretical ways for the specific game. Not every BTG release uses the same grid or feature set.
Identify licensed studios
When another provider releases a Megaways title, look for official attribution and supplier documentation. Separate the game developer from the owner or licensor of the mechanic.
Check variant labels
Sequels, branded editions and regional versions can alter RTP, maximum win, bonus choices or eligible jurisdictions while retaining Megaways in the name.
State provenance narrowly
Describe what the source proves: company relationship, mechanic licence or one game’s rules. Avoid converting corporate ownership into a claim that Evolution operates the casino hosting a demo.
Mechanic ownership is not casino ownership
BTG and Evolution can supply or license game technology without controlling the operator, payment route or website where the title appears.
