Where BGaming stands
BGaming's best idea isn't a reel feature. It's a way to check a result. The studio was an early adopter of provably fair technology, which lets a player confirm that an outcome was fixed before the bet was placed. Around that, it has built a catalogue that leans towards casual formats: crash games, fishing games, scratch cards and quick instant titles, alongside video slots.
It's a good studio to try when you want something short and simple. If you want layered bonus rounds, most of its best-known games aren't built that way.
Company facts we could confirm
BGaming's about page says the company was founded in 2012 and that the BGaming brand officially launched in 2018. It is headquartered in Malta, with development offices in Poland and Georgia.
It holds a Malta Gaming Authority B2B Critical Gaming Supply Licence (MGA/B2B/785/2020, issued on 18 March 2021). It lists certification from BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs, and approvals connected to the Cyprus, Spanish and Romanian regulators. The company says it has more than 250 games, covering video slots, video poker, lottery, card, scratch, crash and casual titles. The demo network we use carries 259 titles from this studio.
How the provably fair check works
BGaming's provably fair page describes the process in four steps:
- The outcome is set first. Before you bet, the system calculates the result and combines it with a random secret string.
- A hash is shown. That combination is run through SHA-256, and you see only the hash. The result itself stays hidden.
- Your seed is applied. You pick a client seed or accept one generated for you, and it is applied to the result.
- You can verify it. After the round, you get the result, the secret and the hash. If you run the result and the secret through any SHA-256 tool, the output should match the hash you saw before betting.
This doesn't change the odds or the RTP. It shows that the outcome wasn't changed after your bet. BGaming describes itself as "the first major iGaming provider" to offer this feature. That is the studio's own claim, and we report it as such.
Casual formats as the house style
In practice, BGaming's identity comes from games that play in seconds. Aviamasters, launched in July 2024, changed the usual crash format. According to iGaming Business, the goal is to land a plane safely rather than just avoid a crash. BGaming says it won Best Casino Game in 2025. The sequel, Aviamasters 2, raised the maximum multiplier from x250 to x1,000.
The game we list on SlotsRanker follows the same casual approach:
| Game | Type | RTP | Volatility | Max win | Released |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winter Fishing Club | Instant Win | 97.16% | Medium-low | 3,000x | 28 January 2025 |
Winter Fishing Club is a first-person remake of BGaming's earlier Fishing Club, set on a frozen lake. There are no reels. You choose a hookbait, cast into a hole in the ice, and each fish that bites carries a multiplier. BGaming lists a hit rate of 5.4, which means most casts land nothing. The hookbait you pick decides how the long-run return is split between rare large fish and many empty casts.
Reading BGaming's numbers
Two things stand out in the Winter Fishing Club figures. First, 97.16% is above the roughly 96% many slots use. Second, "Medium-low" volatility sits alongside a low hit rate. That combination can be confusing: results are infrequent, but the multipliers are capped at 3,000x rather than tens of thousands, so the swings are narrower than in a high-volatility slot.
We haven't found a lower-RTP version of Winter Fishing Club published by BGaming, and we haven't found a studio-wide statement about RTP versions. So we don't make wider claims about them here.
Who BGaming suits
BGaming suits players who want quick rounds, a clear rule set and the option to check results themselves. It is also a sensible choice for anyone new to crash or instant games, because the formats are easy to follow. If you want long, cinematic bonus rounds, look at studios such as Light & Wonder or Pragmatic Play instead.

- A wide range of short casual formats beyond reels.
- Published licence number and testing labs.
Cons
- Casual games like Winter Fishing Club miss far more often than they land.
- Fewer deep, multi-stage bonus rounds than in slot-focused studios.
