What BGaming Makes

Three games sum up its range: Elvis Frog in Vegas, its most famous hold-and-win slot; Cat’s Soup, the highest default RTP here at 98.06%; and Space XY, a provably fair crash game where the player picks the moment to cash out.

BGaming in Brief

Studio Overview

BGaming began in 2012 as an internal project inside SoftSwiss, under the name SoftSwiss Casino Games, and released its debut slot, Aztec Magic, in 2016. In February 2018 the team branched into an independent studio and took the BGaming name — the “B” chosen in a team brainstorm, standing for ideas like “Beyond”. It is headquartered in Valletta, Malta, and remains part of the SoftSwiss group founded by Ivan Montik, though it operates as a strategically independent unit focused on slots and gameplay. Its chief executive is Marina Ostrovtsova, who joined as executive director in 2018 after four years at SoftSwiss. Its games reach 3,000-plus casinos through a partner network of more than 2,000 operators.

Beyond Malta, BGaming’s own site lists local certifications in markets including Brazil, Peru, Italy and Spain. iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs test its games, and the studio holds ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification for information security. It also publishes RTP and volatility on its own game pages, which is more than some rivals show.

What sets BGaming apart is its crypto-native bent: in 2019 it became the first major provider to introduce Provably Fair technology.

Mechanic DNA

Five mechanics recur across BGaming’s catalogue, and together they explain why its games feel built for crypto-casino pace.

Provably Fair

Provably-fair technology lets a player independently verify that a result was not manipulated, using server and client seeds published for each round. BGaming uses it on selected titles, and it now underpins its crash and casual games in particular. Unlike a standard certified RNG, which a player must take on trust, provably-fair outcomes can be checked mathematically after the fact. The limitation is scope: it confirms the integrity of each round, not the casino’s trustworthiness or how reliably it pays out.

Buy Bonus

Clicking the Buy Bonus button lets a player buy straight into a game’s bonus round for a set price in multiples of the stake, skipping the base game. It appears across a wide slice of the catalogue, including Wild Cash x9990, Aztec Clusters, Gates of Power and OOF The Goldmine Planet. It is the same premise Pragmatic Play built into its own catalogue, and it packs the swing of a whole session into one purchased round: the price is paid up front, whatever the round goes on to return.

Hold and Win

A hold-and-win respin round, triggered by enough coin or money symbols on a spin, keeps collected symbols in place and can award cash values and fixed jackpots. Elvis Frog in Vegas, Golden Paw: Hold & Win, Royal Beellion and Blazing Fire Pots all use variants of it. Compared with the network progressives that studios like Playtech run, BGaming concentrates on fixed in-game jackpots rather than pooled prizes, so the top prize is defined by the title rather than a shared network — a smaller ceiling, but a clearer one.

Scatter and Cluster Pays

Scatter and cluster pays pay for matching symbols wherever they land on the grid rather than on fixed lines, with wins triggered by eight or more symbols in the scatter-pays titles. Bonanza Billion, Bonanza Trillion, Gates of Power, Aztec Clusters and Merge Up all use the format. It is closely modelled on Pragmatic Play’s Bonanza-style scatter pays, and it pairs with high volatility so that returns concentrate in tumbling chains during the bonus rather than steady line wins in the base game.

Crash and Instant Games

Crash and instant games are a distinct BGaming pillar: a multiplier climbs from a starting point and the player must cash out before it crashes. Space XY, Plinko, Limbo XY, Mine Gems and Heads & Tails XY sit in this group, most of them provably fair. Round speeds are far quicker than a slot’s, which suits players who find reels slow but sharpens the pace of risk.

Catalogue Map by Series & Franchise

BGaming’s clearest multi-entry franchise is the Aztec Magic series, which began with the studio’s debut slot and has since been rebuilt across newer mechanics and grids.

The series shows real mechanical drift rather than reskinning: the 2016 original is a classic lines slot, the 2018 Deluxe a graphics-and-feature refresh at the same 96.96% RTP, and Aztec Clusters a switch to cluster pays, with a higher ceiling and more variance. A player who liked the original lines format will find Aztec Clusters a materially different, riskier game despite the shared theme.

Six BGaming Games to Know

The table sets the six side by side; the notes below give each one’s trade-off.

Elvis Frog in Vegas

BGaming’s signature slot pairs hold-and-win respins with high volatility, a 96% RTP and a Grand Jackpot that anchors the bonus. Its coin-collection respins and clear jackpot targets made it one of the studio’s breakout hits and a mainstay at crypto casinos. The catch is transparency of ceiling: the win is defined by a fixed in-game jackpot rather than a large multiplier cap, and as a high-volatility game the base play runs cold between the hold-and-win triggers that carry the return.

Aztec Clusters

The higher-RTP, higher-ceiling pick: BGaming publishes a 97% RTP and a very-high volatility label on a 6×8 cluster-pays grid, with a 10,000x max win and a Buy Bonus. It pairs a strong return with a genuinely different mechanic. The limitation is variance: a very-high-volatility cluster game saves almost all of its return for rare, long tumbling sequences, so most sessions return little before a feature lands, and the 10,000x sits behind steep odds.

Wild Cash x9990

Wild Cash x9990 is the clearest high-ceiling classic in the range: a 5×3, ten-payline fruit slot with a 96.01% RTP, high volatility and a 9,990x max win reached through the bonus, with a Buy Feature. Its appeal is a recognisable ceiling on a simple, sharp maths model. The weakness is thin base play: the design loads the return into the bonus game, so long stretches pass with little action, and the 9,990x turns up so seldom that no single session should be planned around it.

Aztec Magic Deluxe

The studio’s most recognisable series in its most polished form: Aztec Magic Deluxe is a 5×3 redesign that BGaming lists at a 96.96% RTP with a 5,000x max win, expanding wilds and a Gamble round. The trade-off is a modest ceiling by modern standards: 5,000x is well below the crash and cluster titles, and the Gamble round, while optional, is a pure double-or-nothing that adds variance rather than expected value.

Cat’s Soup

A rotating recipe can trigger a pick bonus on Cat’s Soup, the value pick and top of the RTP range: BGaming publishes a 98.06% RTP and a medium-volatility label on this compact 3×3 slot, with a flask multiplier climbing to x512. The high return and calmer variance make it the gentlest of the six. The limitation is ceiling: an x512 top is small, so this is a slot for steadier play at a strong return rather than for chasing a large result.

Space XY

The crash pillar in one title: a provably-fair crash game with a 97% RTP, an adjustable-risk cash-out and a 10,000x maximum multiplier. It is the clearest example of the format BGaming is known for beyond reels, with auto-play and auto-cash-out for controlled sessions. The caveat is that it is not a slot: it is a fast, decision-driven instant game where discipline on the cash-out matters more than any feature, and it rewards a plan over a spin.

RTP Configuration Map

BGaming’s default RTPs are strong, but like several rivals it lets operators run lower settings in some markets. The table below gives the default for six titles.

The spread that matters is within each title rather than between them, and each casino’s version shows its own RTP in the game’s info panel. On the provably-fair titles the fairness data also lets a player confirm individual outcomes, though that covers each round, not the long-run RTP the operator has configured.

Volatility Profile

BGaming’s catalogue skews high: feature buys, hold-and-win rounds and crash games all push variance up, and medium or low volatility titles make up the smaller share.

Low and Medium Volatility

This trio keeps BGaming’s look with gentler swings, which makes it the better fit for a small bankroll. Each has a strong RTP and a lower ceiling, so the wins come more evenly and stay smaller.

High and Very High Volatility

This is the core of BGaming’s output, and all three titles here sell direct entry to their bonus round, where most of the return sits.

Average Hourly Cost in Stake Units

BGaming’s games run at casinos that set their own stake limits, so this table counts in stake units rather than any one currency. Each figure turns a default RTP into what an hour costs on average over a long stretch of play; a real session can finish far higher or far lower.

The two columns are two selected defaults from this page, from two different games: 98.06% on Cat’s Soup and 96.01% on Wild Cash x9990.

Each cell is 600 spins × the stake × the house edge (1 − RTP), taking 600 spins as an hour. At a 1.00 stake on Cat’s Soup that is 600 × 1.00 × (1 − 0.9806) = 11.64; on Wild Cash x9990 it is 600 × 1.00 × (1 − 0.9601) = 23.94. A casino running a reduced-RTP version of either game would push the figure higher.

BGaming vs Pragmatic Play

Pragmatic Play is the closest peer: both studios are based in Malta, both skew high-volatility and both are fixtures of crypto casino lobbies. They differ most on scale and on how high their games can pay.

BGaming’s edge is fairness a player can check round by round and a deep line of crash and instant games. For a player who likes the instant-game format, it is the more purpose-built of the two.

Pragmatic Play’s edge is scale: it is licensed in far more markets, it releases far more often, and its Super Scatter titles reach 50,000x, where the BGaming slots on this page top out at 15,000x. A player chasing the highest ceilings finds more of them in Pragmatic Play’s catalogue.

Who Plays BGaming Slots

BGaming suits players who already use crypto casinos, where provably fair rounds and fast crash games fit the way those sites work. Those casinos are offshore, so a payout or account dispute there has less recourse than at a locally licensed site.
