Megaways Casino Games Top the List of the Most Popular Slots in 2022

The extremely exciting mix of Megaways slot games are ranked as the most popular casino games of 2022, according to Megaways Casino.

“Megaways slots are by far and away the most played online slots worldwide and this has not changed in 2022.

“In fact, many of our operator partners tell us that Megaways are the most played games across the board. There are now hundreds of different Megaways slots, and this is excellent. However, we hope that Big Time Gaming will, at some point, work with Evolution and launch a Megaways live casino game. How awesome would that be?”

Since the first ever Megaways slot – Bonanza Megaways – was released in 2016, it propelled the developers behind the Megaways engine overnight to become one of the top developers within the online casino industry. The Megaways mechanic was developed by Australian development company Big Time Gaming who now allow other slots creators to develop their own slots using the Megaways engine.

The Popularity of Online Slots

The allure of online slot games has never been higher. Perhaps since thousands of different online slots are released per year, or maybe due to the sheer luck-based excitement they offer casino players. Either way; online slots, specifically video slots are generally by far the most played casino games. One aspect of online slots which draws players in is that you can bet as much or as little as you like. Unlike certain live casino games which often require players to have a large bankroll to play, with online slots, you can bet from as little as £0.01 per spin and still have a lot of fun. In addition, slots players can play in the hope that they can turn a £0.01 spin into a maximum win of up to 125,000x their bet!

Furthermore, there are certain online slots, called jackpot slots, which can turn small bets into potentially millions. For example, Mega Fortune and Mega Moolah are two jackpot slots which have paid out jackpots of over £1 million. As of time of writing, we are yet to see a progressive jackpot Megaways slot, but perhaps this will follow at some point in the future.

If you visit any standard online casino, you will quickly discover that most of their efforts are centred around slot games. Why? Well, they are both extremely popular from a player’s point of view and from the casino’s perspective, they are solely luck based. The casino will always prefer their players to play solely luck-based games because they always have an edge. The highest RTP (Return to Player) slot is around 99%. But the average RTP of a slot is around 96%.

The Future of Megaways Slots

The evidence speaks for itself. As the most played casino games in 2022, Megaways slots will continue to inspire fun and excitement in the millions of casino players who are playing them. We hope that Big Time Gaming continue to be innovative though. Certain recent Megaways releases have not shown much innovation. Like we mentioned earlier, we would love to see a huge jackpot Megaways slot or some sort of live game featuring Megaways.

The Megaways Casino team told us:

“Certainly, if Big Time Gaming cannot continue to innovate then another slots developer will. For the most part, a slots development company is only as good as its last slot, and we need Big Time Gaming to show why they are perhaps the most successful in the business.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

 

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
