BGaming: From a Startup Under the Wing of SOFTSWISS to the Market Leader in Online Slots

BGaming has come an impressive way — from a part of the large SOFTSWISS ecosystem to an independent brand recognised in dozens of countries. Today, the studio's portfolio includes more than 200 games, licenses cover 15 countries, and the partner network includes over 2000 online casinos. But it didn't start so loudly — with an internal project launched in 2012.

The beginning of the journey: how it all began

The team made its first steps under the name SOFTSWISS Casino Games. The slot debut — Aztec Magic, released in 2016, was the start for the entire future catalogue, under which active development began.

Although legally the company has remained part of the SOFTSWISS group, strategically BGaming has become a completely independent unit focused on slots and gameplay innovation.

Provably Fair is the first major step towards player trust

Already in 2019, BGaming became the first among major providers to introduce Provably Fair technology, a system that allows the user to personally verify the honesty of the results. The essence of the method is simple and ingenious at the same time: the result of the game is generated in advance, then encrypted, and only after the round is completed, the player can verify it with the initial hash who value transparency.

Rapid expansion: 15 licenses and worldwide recognition

From 2019 to 2024, BGaming significantly expanded the geography of its presence. Initially focusing on offshore licenses in Curaçao and Malta, the studio gradually began to pass local certifications. By 2024, BGaming games were available in 15 jurisdictions, and in early 2025, the company successfully received a licence in Brazil, strengthening its position in Latin America.

Awards and recognition

The years 2023-2024 were especially successful in terms of awards. BGaming deservedly received:

• Best Crypto Games Provider (SiGMA Balkans & CIS);
• Rising Star of the Year (International Gaming Awards);
• Best Slot Developer (Sigma Gaming Awards).

At the same time, the high-profile release of Snoop Dogg Dollars took place - the first collaboration with the world celebrity, rapper Snoop Dogg, which showed that the studio knows how to work not only with mechanics, but also with mass culture.

BGaming's portfolio: own ideas, inspired trends and real hits

To date, BGaming offers players and operators more than 200 games, including slots, casual games, and crash titles. Among them, we can distinguish both original projects and slots inspired by the successful mechanics of competitors — but adapted with a branded presentation.

Unique game mechanics

BGaming has developed and registered several original gaming systems that make slots recognisable:

• TRUEWAYS is a flexible payline system with a variable number of symbols on the reels. Up to 262,144 possible combinations.
• MultiDice X is a dice drop mechanic where each roll can trigger a respin and increase the multiplier.
• MergeUP is a system that combines symbols into clusters to form powerful chain win reactions.

These technologies have become the basis for a number of hits and give games freshness and replayability.

Flagship games: from cacti to the kings of the stage

• Bonanza Billion is a slot with a pay anywhere mechanic where 8+ identical symbols explode to create new combinations. A notable inspiration from Pragmatic Play's Sweet Bonanza, but with an emphasis on explosive dynamics and vibrant sound design.
• Johnny Cash is a charismatic cactus cowboy in a wild west setting. The main feature is a sticky wild with multipliers in the bonus mode.
• Elvis Frog in Vegas is a legendary slot with a singing frog in the image of Elvis Presley. One of the most recognisable symbols of the company. Its sequel, Aloha King Elvis, takes us to the Hawaiian Islands, while maintaining the signature energy.
• Plinko is a casual game where the player watches a ball jumping on a board. The simplicity of the mechanics, high RTP, and clear math made this title a real favourite of the crypto audience.
• Space XY is an alternative to the crash hit Aviator. Here the player follows the flight of a space rocket, which increases the multiplier. The task is to "exit" in time and collect the winnings before the explosion.

Brand Around Games: Art, Community, and Custom Slots

BGaming is not just a slot developer. It's a brand that knows how to build an image, be the centre of attention, and create value outside of gameplay.

Art project When Art Meets Gaming

The company has launched a bold art project that combines gambling and contemporary art. The idea is to give independent artists the opportunity to interpret characters from BGaming games and present it at major iGaming events.

To date, the project has been presented at 7 conferences, and 4 more are planned for 2025. Colourful stands, limited merch and visual style form brand awareness and create a "wow effect".

MaxWin Club is a community of streamers

BGaming actively works with streamers, promoting their slots through live content. Any streamer who caught a skid and posted it on Twitch, Kick or YouTube can get into MaxWin Club.

This format of cooperation works effectively: minimum investment - maximum coverage among the target audience.

Custom Slots for Operators

BGaming offers casino operators the creation of branded versions of slots with three levels of customisation:

1. The basic level is the change of logo and start screen.
2. Advanced — rework the design, add new animations and symbols.
3. Exclusive is a completely unique game created for the customer's brand from scratch.

According to BGaming representatives, such slots show 25% higher profitability than regular versions.

Not without drawbacks: be attentive to the RTP

Despite the many advantages, BGaming, like many other providers, allows you to reduce the RTP at the discretion of the casino. This means that the same slot can have a different level of return depending on the platform you play on.

While for most games in BGaming's portfolio the base RTP is around 96%, in some cases it can be lowered by up to 78% – and this already has a serious impact on the player's chances.

This approach is standard practice in the industry, especially among large studios, but it is important to remember that not all casinos are honest about this information.

Always check the RTP in the information section of a particular slot before you start playing. It is better to choose trusted casinos with a licence, transparent conditions and reviews from players.

Results

BGaming is an example of how a small team within a large company can grow into an independent world-class player. Fresh ideas, transparent mechanics, working with the art community and the community, as well as the ability to adapt to the market — all this makes BGaming a prominent player in the iGaming scene.

The company continues to expand, actively develops its partner network, and is not afraid to experiment — whether it is a crash game, an NFT approach, or a stand with an art installation at a gaming exhibition. And, apparently, this is just the beginning.
