BGaming Slots & Casinos

Demo versions run in the browser on virtual credits. That matters more here than at other studios, because BGaming leans on mechanics that behave differently from standard paylines, among them TRUEWAYS, Refilling Reels and MergeUP. Learning them for free in demo mode is the main thing you can do to minimise your chances of losing.

BGaming appears in most casinos serving New Zealand players, and it is particularly common at crypto-friendly sites, which is where its provably fair titles are worth seeking out.

The lineage starts with SOFTSWISS, founded in 2008 by Ivan Montik and Dmitry Yaikau. The company built auction software before moving into online gambling, and in 2012 it became one of the first platforms to adapt casino games for Bitcoin play. Those games shipped under the SOFTSWISS Casino Games name from 2013.

BGaming became a separate brand in 2018 to focus purely on content. It took the Romanian licence that year, secured Swedish certification and Isle of Man approval in 2019, and expanded steadily through regulated markets thereafter. Marina Ostrovtsova became chief executive in 2022, having joined the SOFTSWISS ecosystem in 2014, and was named Leader of the Year at the 2024 SBC Awards. 

By its eighth anniversary in February 2026, the studio was serving more than 3,000 clients with a team of over 330 people.

BGaming built its catalogue around cryptocurrency casinos, and the shape of the library reflects that. Pokies dominate, crash and dice titles occupy a section most competitors ignore, and there is no live dealer product at all, which is the studio's clearest gap.

Table games cover the classics:

• American Roulette
• European Roulette
• Trey Poker
• Caribbean Poker
• Blackjack Surrender

The mechanics are where the studio distinguishes itself. TRUEWAYS varies the number of winning ways per spin, Refilling Reels drops fresh symbols into winning positions, MultiDice X and MergeUP restructure how a grid resolves, and in-game jackpots sit inside ordinary slots rather than in a separate progressive network. Everything runs on HTML5, so the games work in a mobile browser without an app.

The studio also builds branded content. Snoop Dogg Dollars runs under an official licence with the artist, and operators can commission co-branded exclusives through BGaming under its Malta licence.

BGaming pokies earned their following through innovative mechanics rather than graphics. The range is best shown through the four titles. 

Elvis Frog in Vegas

The studio's most played game, and the one casino operators stock first. A Vegas theme wrapped around free spins and an in-game jackpot.

Aloha King Elvis

The sequel moves the frog to a beach and updates the bonus round. It carries a lower return than its predecessor, which is worth knowing before choosing between them.

Book of Cats

An Egyptian book-style game with expanding symbols and free spins, reaching 10,000x the bet. The expanding symbol is selected before the round begins and decides the whole of it.

Aztec Magic Deluxe

A 15-payline game with a 5,000x ceiling and one of the higher returns in the catalogue.

The spread in that column deserves attention. Aztec Magic Deluxe returns 97% while Book of Cats returns 94%, a three-percent gap between two games from the same studio sitting in the same lobby. Studio reputation says nothing about the return of an individual title.

BGaming is a B2B supplier that offers games to gambling platforms and is not responsible for your money. What its certification tells you is whether the games have been tested, and here the studio has more to point at than most.

It holds a B2B Critical Gaming Supply Licence from the Malta Gaming Authority, alongside approvals from the Hellenic Gaming Commission in Greece, Romania's ONJN and Curacao, and its content is certified across 17 markets. The random number generators are tested by two independent laboratories, BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs, rather than in-house, and the company holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification for information security.

Where a certified RNG asks you to trust a laboratory's audit, BGaming’s provably fair mechanism lets you verify each result yourself: the game commits to a hashed seed before the round, reveals it afterwards, and the two can be checked against each other.

“Not every BGaming title has the Provably Fair system. The feature is present mainly in the crypto and casual titles, the dice, the crash games, and instant win. Most of the ordinary pokies run a conventional certified RNG, exactly like every other studio. Look for the fairness panel inside the game itself rather than assuming the studio logo carries it. Where the panel exists, use it. Where it does not, you are trusting BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs, which is reasonable but is a different thing.”
