BGaming

Last in this list in terms of location, but not least, is a provider that is a pioneer in the online gambling industry in supporting cryptocurrencies. BGaming as a brand appeared in 2018 and today offers more than 90 games in different categories with HD graphics and user-friendly interface for any device.

In addition to the above, BGaming offers its customers to brand or customise some of their games for a small amount or completely free of charge. The operator in this case receives unique content that is not found anywhere else.

The company has already developed many successful branded games for market leaders such as Stake.com, PlayAmo, Roobet, Parimatch etc. All games have a different depth of development, but it is important that BGaming has a large amount of data about the players. In synergy with data on the players’ preference of a particular casino, the company creates targeted games and experiences that best suit the interests of gamblers. BGaming rightfully considers this to be its USP.

There are two clear trends right now: uniqueness and the demand for personalised experiences. This confirms the BGaming hypothesis that the in-depth customization of games, which the provider does based on the tastes of the players, will allow expanding the gaming audience in the future.

Also, a lot of attention is paid to the 'weight' of games, so that in countries where the internet is not stable or its speed is low, there will be no problems downloading games.

Another great feature of BGaming is their unique Provably Fair feature which uses an algorithm to analyse and verify transparent play. The function is based on a cryptographic method that ensures that the player's bet does not affect the outcome of the game, the round and that the player is not able to know the result before the actual game process.

The achievements of BGaming do not end with a breakthrough in the field of cryptocurrency games and the development of unique features. The brand has repeatedly become a nominee for prestigious awards and has been shortlisted for such awards as Sigma Europe Awards, SBC Awards, AskGamblers Awards and so on.

Key points for choosing BGaming:

- support for cryptocurrencies

- multilingualism

- multicurrency

- certified RNG

- Provably Fair function

In conclusion

The indicators of worthy games software providers are: ease of settings, user-friendly interface, HD graphics, sound and animation at their best, unique features, licences and a certified RNG, as well as the ability to play demo-versions of games. Also, pay attention, please, to the comments on the internet about the reputation of the slots providers and the opinions of the players. And have a good game!
