At the start of November, iGaming industry leader that invented the Megaways mechanic, Big Time Gaming (BTG), launched Turkey Megaways, a new exciting slot with free spins and progressive win multipliers.
In July, BTG introduced Big Bad Bison to the Ontario market, before it harnessed its One Stop Shop aggregation deal agreement with Evolution for the launch of Golden Catch Megaways, one of its most successful slots, in several US markets.
The same prolific BTG-Evolution relation helped iconic slots Max Megaways and Vegas Megaways to reach a number of important operators in Ontario during the same month.
Now, BTG has announced the release of Sanctuary, yet another groundbreaking game that has gone live on Evolution Network starting November 22. The new game marks the fourth title in the highly-praised Cult series with a soundtrack based on British rock band The Cult.

Embark on a Cosmic Journey and Enter New Dimensions
At first glance, you might think the new slot is another classic Ancient Egypt-themed game. However, after a closer look at the slot pyramids in the background, you will quickly notice that they represent spaceships that are meant to travel into outer space and reach new portals and galaxy dimensions.
The soundtrack is set to the iconic She Sells Sanctuary song considered by many to be The Cult’s ultimate masterpiece.
While engaged in the Free Spins Round, players can expect to see the Free Spins Gamble Wheel come to life and allow them to play the awarded Free Spins on up to four video slots simultaneously. For each of the games, players are given 4,096 ways to win.
Once an Ankh symbol pops on the 6×4 grid, the Sticky Wild will show up on the same spot in every Free Spins-based video slot.
Players who are lucky enough to see four Sticky Wilds on a single reel will notice it change into an expansive x4 Wild. This will automatically boost the winnings while allocating three extra Free Spins.
The slot, which also has a Bonus Buy feature available for a 90x stake, also includes the Win Exchange feature that lets players swap their wins for the opportunity to get seven Free Spins.
Prepare to Have Your Mind Blown
As explained by BGT’s chief executive officer, Nik Robinson, Sanctuary is a “very, very cool” slot featuring towering pyramids and eye-catching hieroglyphs carrying players into brand-new dimensions.
However, it is the Free Spins Mode that can fire up four video slots at the same time that makes the game truly stand out.
Evolution’s chief business development officer for Europe, Nicholas Peters, praised BTG’s choice of a multi-dimensional approach, excellent features, and select soundtrack, considering the new game “one of the most exciting releases of the year.”
