SBC is excited to announce that nominations for the Game Creation and Game People categories of the prestigious Game Developer Awards, returning to Malta for their third edition in May, are now open. The nomination period will last until 24 February.

The awards ceremony, which is part of the CasinoBeats Summit conference and exhibition, will take place at the InterContinental Hotel on 25 May. The lavish event that recognises and celebrates the creative and innovative game development teams behind the industry’s most successful titles will be attended by 400 guests.

The CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards will feature 19 categories that honour the top game studios, individual casino games, streamers and game elements as well as innovation and the people who have contributed to the success of the best casino titles of the year. The categories are divided into five main groups:

  • Game Performance (Slot of the Year, Slot to Watch, Slot Debut, Slot Legacy Title, Slot Collaboration of the Year)
  • Game Creation (Game Mechanic of the Year, Game Feature of the Year, Game Licensed Content, Game Retro-style, Game Design & Art Direction, Game Music/Soundtrack)
  • Game Marketing (Streamer of the Year, Innovation in Marketing)
  • Game People (Product Manager, Game Designer, Game Composer).

SBC has also once again teamed up with SlotCatalog, a casino game ranking and insights platform, to create three data-driven categories for the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards 2023.

These categories include Outperforming Game Studio of the Year, which will be presented to the three game studios (small, medium, large) whose slot rank has increased the most compared to their position a year ago; Game Studio of the Year, which will be given to three game studios with the highest slot rank over the last 12 months; and Rookie of the Year, which will be awarded to the new game studio that went from having no distribution last year to achieving the biggest impact over the past year

Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of the event organiser SBC, said: “The CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards are a truly special occasion in my eyes. This ceremony is an opportunity to honour the often overlooked elements of game development, such as the best soundtrack, innovative game mechanics, unexpected success, and the individuals who made it all happen. It’s an event that recognises and celebrates the creativity, fun, and entertainment that make our industry a great place to work.”

The shortlists for the Game Performance and Game Marketing categories of the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards will be selected by SBC’s independent panel of judges, and the winners will be chosen through audience live voting at the CasinoBeats Summit conference and trade show.

The Game Creation and Game People categories will be open for nominations from 12 January to 24 February and the winners will be decided by the independent panel of judges. The Game People category is a new addition to the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards that aims to recognise and celebrate individuals who have actively contributed to the success of a top casino product.

The SlotCatalog categories, which are purely data-driven, will not require nominations or go through a judging process.

Last year’s winners of the CasinoBeats Game Developer Awards included companies such as Blueprint Gaming, Habanero, Peter & Sons, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, Relax Gaming and Stakelogic.

This year’s ceremony at the luxurious InterContinental Hotel will feature a welcome drinks reception and a lavish three-course dinner with complimentary beer, wine, and spirits. Tables and individual tickets are available to purchase here.

The shortlists will be announced on 21 March. Nominate here.

Playboy Gems and Desires launches 10 June as the supplier highlights roulette and faster baccarat formats in Microgaming Live.

Microgaming is spotlighting its official Playboy partnership across live casino and slots, as it continues to build a portfolio of Playboy-branded content for operators. The company said its latest slot, Playboy Gems and Desires, launched on 10 June.

In live casino, Microgaming said Playboy Roulette is positioned as the core title within a wider Playboy-branded suite available through Microgaming Live. The supplier said the live range includes multiple table formats presented in a branded studio environment.

Microgaming also pointed to Playboy Speed Baccarat, which it said runs rounds 30% faster than standard baccarat and includes features such as multi-table mode, side bets, statistics and racetrack bets.

Across the live product line-up, the company said the Playboy branding extends to elements including Playboy Bunny presenters, branded tables and live chat, alongside operator-facing marketing options. On slots, Microgaming said Playboy Gems and Desires includes Wild stacks, B-U-N-N-Y-triggered Free Spins, a Jackpot Wheel and a top win potential of up to 5,000x the bet.

A Microgaming spokesperson said: “Playboy is a brand with a unique place in popular culture, and our official partnership gives us the opportunity to build something that feels much broader than a single table or title. What makes this relationship so exciting is the ability to bring that unmistakable sense of style and premium entertainment to life across various formats. Playboy Gems and Desires is the latest chapter in that story, and a strong example of how the Playboy identity can continue to evolve across both slots and live casino.”
