Popular iGaming content provider BGaming has teamed up with Portuguese street artist Gonçalo MAR to create floral artwork as part of its creative initiative dedicated to the participation of iGaming exhibitions.

Through the ‘When Art Meets Gaming’ series, BGaming teamed up with local graffiti artist Gonçalo MAR, who has combined elements of comic book, floral and street art styles to produce vibrant and surreal pieces. For 25 years this talented creator has participated in group exhibitions, art festivals and solo showcases all over Portugal, and in 2022, received the Medal of Cultural Merit from the Municipal Chamber of Seixal.

For BGaming’s 7th art collaboration, street artist Gonçalo MAR used leaves and flowers designs and combined them with BGaming’s most loved characters from games such as Aztec Clusters, Elvis Frog Trueways, Aztec Magic Megaways, and Book of Cats, ahead of SBC Summit 2024 in Lisbon.

Alongside artwork to be displayed at BGaming’s stand, the provider has also developed branded merchandise and gifts for the partners and attendees of the event, which runs from 24th to 26th September.

For this partnership, the games studio will make a donation to the European Intercultural Club, a Portuguese non-profit association founded in 1998, that supports youth education, training, and employability. The Club organises activities that respect values and principles such as democracy, human rights, solidarity, equality, interculturality, respect, and appreciation for differences.

BGaming continues to support local street artists in the countries hosting some of the industry’s biggest events, ensuring their presence benefits local communities.

Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “This latest collaboration continues to build on BGaming’s reputation as a modern creative game provider that is open to collaborations and co-creation. We love to experiment, as is demonstrated in our striking games and history of unique exhibition art.

“We are thrilled that Gonçalo MAR will be giving our iconic characters a makeover once more, this time as they prepare to appear at SBC Summit 2024.”

Street artist Gonçalo MAR said: “I consider myself a street artist for the simple reason that my work communicates very well on the streets and I am passionate about social commentary. I like the idea of viewing the streets as open-air art galleries.

“This partnership with BGaming arose from the connection the company has with street art and I am very proud to have been chosen. The challenge of transforming the game characters into my style gave me immense pleasure and the process of deconstructing the characters went far beyond what I expected in a very positive and rewarding way.”

Midnite, principal partners of Sheffield United, unveiled a giant chip butty ahead of the Steel City derby against Sheffield Wednesday. The display coincided with the Blades’ 2-1 victory, which relegated their city rivals.

To celebrate the club’s iconic chip butty anthem, Midnite collaborated with Brook Bakery to create the oversized butty, which was showcased on the touchline prior to kick-off. In addition, hundreds of chip butties will be donated to local homeless charities and food banks across Sheffield in the coming weeks.

Andrew Mook, Head of Brand at Midnite, said: “We wanted to give something back to Sheffield United fans in a way that is synonymous with the club. The chip butty anthem is instantly recognisable as being something unique to Sheffield United, and by creating a giant chip butty, we wanted to have some fun, while ultimately delivering a strong message.

“Midnite is dedicated to offering value to Sheffield United fans. We aren’t just here to use the club and stick our logo on the shirt. We want to become a part of the club, and our initiatives and activations have all been designed to bring fans closer to the clubs they love.

“It has been great to work alongside local Sheffield businesses to create the chip butty, and then to help give back to the community foodbank and charities.”

Throughout the season, Midnite has supported fans by covering travel for away matches, providing complimentary haircuts to celebrate the new year, and unveiling a 50-square-metre mural honoring Chris Wilder opposite Bramall Lane.
