Big Time Gaming
The Australian studio that invented Megaways and licensed it to much of the industry.
Push Gaming
A London studio with a small, carefully built catalogue rather than a high release rate.
What the company does
Push Gaming releases comparatively few titles and is known for the care taken over each, Jammin' Jars being the best known. In a market where many studios compete on release volume, a small catalogue is a strategic choice: it depends on individual games sustaining play for years rather than on a continuous stream of novelty.
The studio also builds its games to run well on modest mobile hardware and connections, which matters more in practice than feature lists, because a game that loads slowly is abandoned before its mathematics ever becomes relevant.
Where this sits in the supply chain
The companies that design and build the games themselves, principally slots. They are paid a share of the revenue their games generate rather than a licence fee, which is why a studio's commercial fortunes depend on a small number of titles performing across many operators.
