Copenhagen-based Nordisk Games is expanding its portfolio of successful game studios with a minority ownership share of Supermassive Games, the BAFTA-winning, independent game developer best known for the critically acclaimed games Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology. Nordisk will hold 30.7% ownership of Supermassive Games.

Founded in 2008, Supermassive Games is a privately held, independent developer creating a variety of games that now employs over 200 talented developers that share the studio’s love of high-end production values and cinematic excellence. Supermassive Games has received numerous awards over recent years, including a BAFTA for Until Dawn, and recently launched The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series of standalone cinematic horror games.

Nordisk Games is owned by entertainment company Nordisk Film, which is a part of Egmont, a leading Nordic media group. In recent years Nordisk Games has built a high growth portfolio of minority and majority-owned game studios that includes Avalanche Studios Group, Star Stable Entertainment, Raw Fury, and MercurySteam. Supermassive Games will be the ninth addition to the portfolio and is Nordisk Games’ first investment in the UK.

“We are delighted to have Nordisk Games alongside Supermassive for what we are sure will be very exciting times ahead. From the moment Joe and I met with Martin (Walfisz) and Mikkel (Weider), we were convinced that Nordisk would be great partners for us, and we feel privileged to welcome Nordisk Games’ expertise to our Board. Our companies share a passion for delivering beautiful games with stories that emotionally engage, and we are very much looking forward to working closely with them and their colleagues at Nordisk Film and Egmont”, Pete Samuels, CEO Supermassive Games.

”What impressed us about the team at Supermassive – beyond their obvious talent and creativity – was their openness to collaboration and their vision for building the best possible narrative games,” said Mikkel Weider, Managing Director of Nordisk Games. “In our opinion, there are few studios better at creating rich, narrative-driven games, built around unique stories and IPs. It’s a great opportunity for us, and we can’t wait to work alongside Pete, Joe, and the whole Supermassive team as they develop more incredible games in their unique style.”

BTG Launches the High-Stakes Thriller, Millionaire Megapots™

Published

Step into the Hot Seat and chase life-changing wins in Millionaire Megapots™, the latest prime-time release from Big Time Gaming.

This isn’t a game for the faint-hearted. Players take centre stage on the studio floor, facing the electrifying reels where every spin could change everything.

The tension ramps up when six or more Coin symbols land anywhere on the reels, triggering the thrilling Hold and Spin feature with three respins to start. Each symbol position becomes its own reel, revealing additional Coins holding prize amounts, multipliers, or coveted Megapots™ icons. Every time new Coins land, respins reset to three, keeping the stakes high as the total prize climbs. At the end of the respins, total prizes are multiplied by all revealed multipliers. Collect three matching Megapots™ icons to win the corresponding jackpot.

For the ultimate thrill, if every reel position reveals a Coin, the Hold & Win bonus doubles the total prize—delivering a show-stopping finale. The Mini, Midi, and Mega Megapots™, displayed above the reels, showcase dynamic jackpots that change with every spin and can only be won during the Hold and Spin feature.

Inspired by the iconic Hot Seat from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the Hot Seat Free Spins Gamble replicates the same heart-pounding risk-versus-reward excitement. Players can climb the ladder for up to 50 Free Spins, with unsuccessful gambles risking lost spins. Rungs two and seven act as safety nets, guaranteeing 10 and 20 Free Spins, while classic Lifelines—50:50, Phone a Friend, Ask the Audience—offer support at every stage.

Free Spins are triggered by landing three or more Millionaire Scatters, awarding 10 spins and entry to the Hot Seat Gamble ladder. Each Scatter moves players up the ladder, and during Free Spins, win multipliers start at 1x and increase with every Coin that lands. Additional Scatters extend spins, building tension and potential.

For instant intensity, Bonus Buy offers direct access: Hold and Spin for 65x stake, 12 Free Spins for 125x, or 20 Free Spins for 250x. Power Play, available for 8x stake, guarantees at least 10,000 Megaways™ per spin.

With up to 200,704 Megaways™, high volatility, and a maximum win of 91,000x the stake, Millionaire Megapots™ delivers the drama, spectacle, and life-changing ambition of the Hot Seat—all powered by BTG’s signature gameplay innovation.

Nik Robinson, Founder and CEO of Big Time Gaming, said:
“With Millionaire Megapots™, we wanted to capture the raw, edge-of-your-seat tension of the Hot Seat. By combining our Megaways™ engine with Megapots™ and the Hot Seat Free Spins Gamble, players truly feel the heat of the studio floor. It’s all about the big risk, rising stakes, and life-changing reward.”

Drive player engagement higher with ICONIC21’s Mines

Provider introduces an additional arcade game to its expanding collection, enabling operators to capitalize on the increasing demand for dynamic content.

A single action transforms everything in Mines, the newest virtual game from sought-after iGaming content creator, ICONIC21.

Mines operates on a clear grid where each successful uncovering of a safe location immediately increases the multiplier. Enabling the user to choose both the grid dimensions and the count of hidden mines grants them greater control over the unpredictability and possible expansion of their session.

This style of play focuses on the “Cash Out,” a moment of heightened control where the player chooses precisely when to lock in their progress before a mine resets the game board.

The essence of the experience is influenced by managing risk and timing. Players have the option to choose from 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 grids, in addition to deciding how many mines can show up, effectively creating their own risk-to-reward ratio on the spot.

Mines secures complete market reach with one product, enhancing lifetime value as users revisit to explore new strategies amid various volatility levels, fostering deeper and more meaningful engagement.

This changes the game into a high-efficiency, streamlined format that seamlessly accommodates all player groups.

Edvardas Sadovskis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Mines is the perfect balance between simplicity and strategy. Players choose their grid, define their own risk-reward level, and decide how far they want to push their luck.

With the option to use autoplay for fast gameplay and the potential for extremely high multipliers, it creates a thrilling experience where every click matters.

In addition, ICONIC21 provides flexible real estate for custom branding, allowing operators to deliver a bespoke experience that aligns with their specific market identity and target audiences.“
