Evolution launches its first lottery style live game

Evolution Gaming announced Friday the launch of its brand-new, exclusive Mega Ball game, the company’s first-ever bouncing ball game. An entertaining live online game, Mega Ball was first unveiled at ICE 2020 in February and further extends Evolution’s range of game show style games.

The Mega Ball game show features up to two Mega Ball bonus rounds in which players can multiply their winnings by up to 1,000,000x their bet. Using the familiar bingo-style random bouncing ball mechanics that players know, Mega Ball is a simple and engaging game designed from the ground for the widest audience of online players, many of whom may never have played Live Casino games before. Mega Ball is expected to have massive appeal, since it gives players the opportunity of big wins, while combining the best-loved elements of online bingo, lottery and slots games.

Mega Ball features a custom-built ball machine that houses 51 balls, of which 20 are randomly drawn one-by-one in each game round. Players simply sit back and watch in anticipation to see if the numbers on their cards match the balls drawn. Up to 12 lines per card are available and the more lines players make, the more money they can win. Central to the game’s theme is the drawing of a 21st ball – the much-anticipated ‘Mega Ball’ – to which RNG-based random multipliers are applied of between 5x–100x. If the player creates a line with the Mega Ball number, their winnings are multiplied accordingly.

Available on desktop, tablet and smartphone, Mega Ball joins titles such as Lightning Roulette, Deal or No Deal Live and Dream Catcher in Evolution’s growing and popular Game Shows range.

Chief Product Officer at Evolution Gaming, Todd Haushalter, said: “With Mega Ball we wanted to create a game that has huge prizes, drama and excitement. Bingo is a hugely popular game with lots of players and lotteries are loved the world over, so we decided to combine the two and also add a huge slot machine to create Mega Ball! I think players are going to love this game!”

As well as the live version of Mega Ball, Evolution is also adding to its growing portfolio of First Person games by launching a RNG variant of Mega Ball. First Person Mega Ball puts players in control of the game, allowing them to play at their own pace. Like all of Evolution’s First Person games, it includes the ‘Go Live’ button, which transports players through an in-game portal to the live version of the game.
