BF Games Picks Up Four EiGE Awards Shortlist Nods
Slot studios rarely get a red-carpet moment, but the European iGaming Excellence Awards are as close as it gets, and BF Games has just landed four separate shortlist spots. The London-headquartered developer, whose games already sit on UK-licensed sites, will find out in late October whether the nominations turn into silverware.
What’s been released
BF Games has been nominated in four categories at this year’s EiGE Awards: Best Mobile Gaming Provider, Best Game Developer, Best iGaming Product and Best iGaming Supplier
. The recognition comes from the EiGE Awards, an annual programme run by HIPTHER that sits alongside its Warsaw Summit.
The European iGaming Excellence Awards recognise companies and professionals across European iGaming, with the 2026 edition covering 21 categories
.
Shortlists were decided by public vote, which closed on August 31, with winners announced on October 27 in Warsaw
.
BF Games isn’t the only studio in the running this year.
GameBeat has also been nominated for Best Game Developer at the same awards, with public voting to determine the shortlist open until 31 August
, giving BF Games genuine competition in at least one of its four categories.
How it plays
The nominations arrive alongside a run of fresh output from the studio. Its most recent slot, Street Basket 3×3, takes a court-side approach to the reels.
The game combines a classic format with high-energy mechanics inspired by the court, where players collect BALL multipliers and let the BASKET symbol do the work as the score builds, before hitting the BASKET BONUS to lock in respins and keep pushing forward
. It’s a mobile-first design, in keeping with the studio’s wider strategy of building titles that feel as comfortable on a phone screen as a desktop browser.
BF Games has also picked up recognition for its marketing rather than just its mechanics.
The studio has been shortlisted for Marketing Campaign of the Year at the EGR B2B Awards for its Golem Mystery Wilds campaign, which combined a mystical forest theme with real-world impact by planting 100 trees across Poland, turning a game launch into something tangible
. It’s an unusual pairing of a slot release with an environmental initiative, and one that’s clearly caught the eye of industry judges beyond the game itself.
Where it fits
For UK players, BF Games is one of the less flashy names on a casino lobby menu, but it’s a firmly established one.
BF Games is a London based slot developer with a portfolio of more than 150 titles, creating a mix of classic fruit machines, modern video slots, dice games and sweepstakes style releases, licensed in several regulated markets including the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority
.
A number of UK casinos offer titles by BF Games, including LV Bet, VBET, Mr Vegas, and Energy Casino
.
The EiGE shortlisting slots neatly into a busier period for the studio’s public profile, sitting alongside its EGR B2B marketing nod and a steady release cadence that includes Street Basket 3×3. Whether or not the votes go BF Games’ way in Warsaw, the four nominations put a smaller supplier in the same conversation as bigger names such as GameBeat, and it’s the kind of recognition that tends to nudge operators towards giving a studio’s catalogue a more prominent spot in the lobby.
