Nik Robinson is one of those names and faces we recognize, yet likely without awareness of the significant contribution he’s made to the online casino industry, especially in slot game development.

“I’ve been fascinated with slot machine mechanics as long as I can remember, and have been working in the online gaming industry for over 20 years. My first business, NT Media, pioneered browser-based gaming back in the late nineties. NT was snapped up by News Corp alongside Orbis and became Openbet”, Robinson shared.

Robinson served on the Openbet management team for five years, helping to grow the business from 50 to 500 staff, move to an open platform and via BCLC, license the first casino product into North America.  In 2011 he founded Big Time Gaming (BTG) out of Sydney, an innovative slots development company with a special focus on “high volatility” slot game streamers.

Last year, BTG developed a relationship with live stream internet star Kim Hultman, also a slots enthusiast who broadcasts his sessions live via a Twitch account, allowing thousands of fans to watch his ride in real time.
