Big Time Gaming’s ‘Vegas Rush’ to Light Up Evolution from May 17th

New slot from BTG comes enhanced with Megaclusters™ and MEGATRAIL™ mechanics.

New from Big Time Gaming this May comes Vegas Rush, a supercharged, high volatility slot that combines the neon thrills of Las Vegas with some of the prolific game studios’ earth-shattering bonus mechanics. Vegas Rush will be lighting up the Evolution Network on 17th May.

BTG rewrote the book when it comes to slots mechanics, and Vegas Rush is no different. This game employs the explosive action of the Megaclusters™ engine, as well as the iconic MEGATRAIL™, all transported to the Las Vegas Strip and set to an adrenaline-pumping electro-trance soundtrack.

With Megaclusters™, each symbol that forms part of a winning combo will split into four smaller symbols to create even more Megaclusters™. When combos appear within these smaller symbols, they explode, and new ones fall into their place until the combos dry up.

This means the 4×4 grid with its 16 original tiles can break into a maximum 64 tiles during the Megacluster™ mode. Meanwhile, the awesome MEGATRAIL™ is a 12-rung bonus ladder that is randomly determined in every base-game spin and offers 12 different types of bonuses. These range from anything from Mega Wilds to Max Megaclusters.  Hit Rung 7 of the MEGATRAIL™ and you’ll receive six free spins that will trigger an enhanced MEGATRAIL™ for the duration of the round. Rung 12 in enhanced MEGATRAIL™ mode will win you the ultimate Bonus Prize of up to 2,000 times your stake. Also, check out Rung 7, which offers additional free spins that can go on for a total of 99 spins!

Nik Robinson, BTG CEO, said: “You can’t beat a bit of Las Vegas action, and Vegas Rush is like a whirlwind trip down the Vegas Strip. There’s something for everyone on the MEGATRAIL™, and small bettors will love the low minimum stakes, while the huge win-potential will appeal to seasoned players. It’s time to feel the rush of Vegas!

Nicholas Peters, Chief Business Development Officer at Evolution said: “There’s a lot to love about Vegas Rush. Once again, BTG are changing the way we think about slots with their revolutionary mechanics. These games are becoming more and more exciting and offer so much more in the way of bonuses than traditional slots. We’re delighted to debut another soon-to-be smash hit from BTG.”

Justin Simporios is normally a sound sleeper who “can fall asleep anywhere” – but he had a very sleepless night, after learning he won an $80-million Lotto Max jackpot from the May 9, 2025 draw. This is the largest lottery jackpot ever won in B.C. and is also the largest jackpot ever won by a single individual in Canada.  

“It was 10:30 p.m.,” recalled Simporios of the moment he realized he won. “I saw that someone won $80 million in Surrey. I was joking and told my wife ‘we’re millionaires!’ and she told me to stop making that joke. After, I manually checked each number before scanning [using the BCLC Lotto! I cried and shouted, ‘we’re millionaires!’” 

The Surrey resident woke up his wife to share the news. “She was in complete disbelief and a bit mad at me because our daughter wasn’t feeling well.” Simporios’ wife luckily agreed this was a good reason to wake her.  

While still in disbelief about his win, Simporios is ultimately most excited to share his windfall with his family. “I want to help my family and my wife’s family. I’ll pay off my sister’s medical school debt and help my mom retire early – just giving my family a head start in life.”  

Giving back to the community in Surrey and B.C. is also a key priority for Simporios. “I’ve struggled before and needed help. Even if I can give an ounce of happiness, I want to help where we can. This feels like a dream.”  

As an avid LA Lakers fan, Simporios mentioned he would like to see LeBron James play before James retires. He also plans to visit his family in the Philippines for a family reunion. “My wife and kid have never visited!”   

On how it feels to win a record-breaking jackpot?   

“The biggest change will be having more time with my wife and family. We want to live with a purpose – to help the community around us.”  

Simporios purchased the winning ticket at the Walmart Supercentre in Central City on King George Boulevard in Surrey. 

So far in 2025, B.C. lottery players have redeemed more than $101 million from Lotto Max. Lotto Max is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays after 7:30 p.m. (PST).  

Players can purchase tickets at lottery retailers or at PlayNow.com. Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www.bclc.com. Players can check their lottery tickets anytime, anywhere on iOS and Android devices. Learn more about the BCLC Lotto! 

BCLC offers socially responsible gambling entertainment while generating income to benefit all British Columbians. Players can visit PlayNow.com to learn how to set time and money limits.

A Legacy of Movement…

HIPTHER introduced Morning Networking Runs in 2022, bringing early risers together for invigorating starts in Prague, Riga, Budapest, and Warsaw. The initiative was met with open arms (and elevated heart rates), prompting us to add Morning Yoga Sessions in 2023, creating moments of calm and clarity before packed agendas.

These aren’t just wellness gimmicks. They reflect our deep commitment to human-centric growth, nurturing not just minds, but bodies and spirits too. Because in our world, strong connections are built not just in panels and presentations, but on running paths, yoga mats, and bike routes.

So whether you’re lacing up your sneakers or strapping on your helmet, we can’t wait to move with you in Vilnius!

 

…Beyond Conferences

To help our community stay active beyond conference days, we’ve also created two growing digital wellness spaces – where movement meets motivation:

👟 HIPTHER’s iGaming & TECH Run Club on Strava brings together runners from across the industry who are eager to stay fit, share their achievements, and inspire each other. Whether you’re training for your next 10K or just enjoying a weekend jog, this is your place to connect.

🚴 And now, for the pedal-powered pros and weekend wanderers alike, we’re proud to introduce the brand new iGaming & TECH Cycling Club. Hop on your bike, track your rides, and cycle alongside fellow gaming & tech professionals – virtually and globally.
