Announcing the shortlists for CEEG Awards 2022 (Central and Eastern European Gaming Awards)

The results of the online voting stage at the CEEG Awards are in, here are the top companies who made it to the shortlists.
The team at Hipther Agency is delighted to announce that the online voting stage for the 2022 edition of the CEEG Awards has ended and the shortlists have been decided by the industry.
For the past two weeks, the industry was invited to vote for their favorite suppliers and operators to determine the top five of each category. During the online voting stage, a grand total of 2741 votes have been submitted and there was quite a battle in some of the categories.
As a result, the top 10 most voted companies in each category have advanced to the shortlists and in some particular cases, there are even more due to the equal number of votes per company.
The final winners in each category are going to be decided by the attending delegates of the Central and Eastern European Gaming Conference (CEEGC) on 16 September in Budapest by a secret voting session at THE RITZ-CARLTON BUDAPEST.

EGT Digital to Showcase AI-Enhanced X-Nave Platform and New Gaming Content at SBC Summit Lisbon

At this year’s SBC Summit Lisbon, EGT Digital will present its proprietary AI core integrated into the X-Nave platform, setting a new benchmark for personalization, compliance, and responsible gaming in the iGaming industry.
Unlike off-the-shelf tools, the AI core has been built from the ground up by EGT Digital’s own data science team, combining custom hardware, software, and in-house expertise.
“We’re excited to demonstrate how our AI core elevates X-Nave at SBC Summit Lisbon,” said Mr. Mihaylov, Deputy CEO of EGT Digital. “It’s more than a tech upgrade – it’s a new framework for building safer, smarter, and more engaging iGaming experiences.”
What does the Platform Deliver?
EGT Digital’s AI core, integrated into X-Nave, transforms the platform from a standard toolkit into an intelligent ecosystem.
The core capabilities include:
- Proactive Player Protection – Detects risky patterns in real time and auto-adjusts limits on the fly.
- Smarter QA – Simulated behavior speeds testing and boosts product quality.
- Intelligent Campaigns – Dynamic segmentation and live personalization, driven by real-time data.
- Predictive Churn Prevention – Identifies players at risk of leaving and provides value towards targeted retention campaigns with personalized offers.
- AI-Powered Lifetime Value Forecasting – Combines multiple predictive models to accurately estimate each player’s long-term value, enabling smarter acquisition and retention strategies.
- Intelligent Game Recommendations – Learns individual player preferences and delivers personalized game suggestions that boost engagement and session duration.
- Automated Bonus Optimization – Uses machine learning to determine the most effective bonus types and values for each player segment, maximizing ROI.
Together, these capabilities make X-Nave more than a technology platform. Operators benefit from it ensuring long-term competitiveness in the fast-evolving iGaming market.
What to Expect at Booths A100 & A130?
Visitors to booths A100 and A130 will discover a full spectrum of innovations from EGT Digital and the wider EGT Group, including the following.
Upcoming slot titles
Two highly anticipated titles will be unveiled:
- Power & Glory Athina – slot game with Cascades paymode, delivering dynamic, fast-paced play.
- SugarVille 1000 – slot game with Cluster Pay, immersing players in a sweet world of bonuses, where the Clover Chance Jackpot can be randomly triggered at any time.
Rich gaming diversity
EGT Digital will also present a portfolio of 150+ in-house developed titles across diverse themes, plus top-performing jackpots such as: Bell Link, Clover Chance, Single Progressive, and the latest Gods & Kings Link.
X-Nave platform versatility
The modular X-Nave platform includes four main components:
- Sport Product
- Gaming Aggregator
- CRM Engine
- Payment Gateway
Each can operate independently or as part of the turnkey solution. Key upgrades, such as the new Sports Recommendation Engine, enhanced Aggregator bonus management tools, and flexible Payment Gateway deposit and withdrawal options will also be on display.
VLT solutions from EGT
The EGT will showcase its established P 24-24 Up and P 27-27 St Slim cabinets, alongside with its newest VLT product – the Self-Service Betting Kiosk (SSBK).
With compact dimensions and a QR code payment option, the SSBK is designed for maximum convenience and will feature the Gold VLT multigame with 50+ titles, including proven favorites like Keno Universe and exciting new releases.
