The official shortlist of the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards 2020 is now live.

It has been a hard and stressful period for some of the companies who battled daily by reaching out to their clients base and asking for feedback via votes to help them climb the charts and be included in the shortlist for the 2020 edition of the Baltic and Scandinavian Gaming Awards (BSG Awards).

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

During June, the industry had the chance to cast their votes online for their favorite operators, software suppliers, and connected service providers and help them reach the Top 5 for their respective categories.

The online voting closed on the 30^th of June at midnight and we are happy to announce that despite the critical period the industry is facing, there have been a total of 9641 votes submitted during the session. There have been many categories in which the number of votes has been at the exact results for 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and even 5^th place. All companies who made the shortlist should feel proud of this achievement.

The shortlists for each category can be found below and as mentioned in the statement, the winners will be decided by the attending delegates via final voting session at the third edition of the conference and awards that will be held on the 6^th of August in Tallinn at Radisson Blu Hotel Olümpia Tallinn.

Make sure to book as fast as possible as the seating is limited! You can choose one of the packages that include either delegate pass or delegate pass and accommodation combo (VIP Package)!

Content deal expands reach in Nordics and Baltics

Award-winning game studio Peter & Sons has bolstered its presence in the Nordics and Baltics via an eye-catching new content deal with Entain-owned NinjaCasino.se, a leading online casino brand in the region.

Peter & Sons’ unique and highly inventive portfolio of weird and wonderful slots is now live on NinjaCasino.se, including player favorites such Barbarossa Revenge, Ghostfather – Awakened, Boom Farm, Gunpowder, Wild Duel, Xibalba, Blood Club, Epic Hellas, Mutagenes, Evil Devil, Dungeon Tower & Potion Power.

Known for their hand-drawn animation style, original cinematic soundtracks, and unique gameplay mechanics, Peter & Sons’ games are some of the most strikingly original on the market today.

With an unwavering commitment to the “anti-boring,” the Maverick Barcelona-based studio builds games that dare to be different, with an emphasis on storytelling, audio-visual excellence and pure playability.

This milestone marks a significant step in Peter & Sons’ European growth strategy and further strengthens its relationship with Entain. The studio continues to expand its reach across regulated markets via strategic partnerships with tier-one operators.

Yann Bautista, Commercial Director and Founder at Peter & Sons said: “We’ve always strived to craft games that stand out not just visually, but in how they play and engage. Ninja Casino has always had a cool, edgy vibe, and that fits our style. This partnership gives us a fantastic opportunity to connect with a new audience that we believe will really appreciate what we do.”

Andreas Larsson, Casino Manager at Ninja Casino said: “We are always looking to enrich our games lobby with content that delivers something different. Peter & Sons is a studio we’ve admired from afar for some time. Their distinctive visual style, innovative game mechanics, and consistent production quality make them a standout developer in today’s crowded market.”
