BGaming, a leading provider of iGaming content, has unveiled its latest online slot, *Shark & Spark Hold & Win*, showcasing an engaging character-driven design alongside an innovative twist on the popular Hold and Win mechanics. This new release introduces a playful bonus mode and aims to deliver a fresh gaming experience.

Set in an underwater world, the game immerses players in a vibrant 5×6 grid teeming with colorful marine life and led by a charming baby shark. Far more companion than predator, this animated character reacts to in-game events and serves as the protagonist of the highlight feature: the Sharks & Ladders bonus game.

*Shark & Spark Hold & Win* employs a pay-anywhere mechanic and incorporates a Cascading Wins feature, which boosts winning opportunities. Throughout gameplay, Pearl symbols may appear, offering prizes or multipliers that can be collected with each spin, enhancing earnings.

Landing four or more Scatter symbols in a single spin activates one of two distinct bonus rounds, chosen at random. The first is the Coin Respin feature, a classic Hold & Win-style bonus. In this mode, Coin symbols drop onto an empty grid, stick to the reels, and reset the spin counter with each appearance. When spins are exhausted, the total value of all Coins and multipliers are added up and awarded to the player.

The second bonus is Sharks & Ladders, inspired by the iconic Snakes & Ladders board game. Here, players control the shark as it moves across the board, collecting multipliers and leveraging shortcuts along the way. Reaching the final space unlocks a spin on the Wheel of Fortune, with potential prizes ranging from 100x to an impressive 5,000x bet multiplier.

Adding to its appeal, the game features medium-high volatility with a generous RTP of 97%. For those who prefer immediate action, players can also utilize the Buy Bonus feature to instantly trigger either of the bonus rounds.

With its vibrant visuals, engaging gameplay, and the incorporation of a unique board-game-inspired bonus mode, *Shark & Spark Hold & Win* is expected to attract both new players and experienced enthusiasts. Its innovative features and charismatic shark character also make it particularly appealing for streaming audiences and ideal for enhancing player retention.

Alex Baliukonis, Game Producer at BGaming, shared his excitement about the new release: “Designing *Shark & Spark Hold & Win* has been an incredible journey for our team. The Snakes & Ladders-inspired concept brings something completely fresh to our portfolio, and we believe its dynamic features will resonate with a wide audience. The central shark character adds charm and personality to the game, allowing us to unleash our creativity. We’ve seen great success with other character-led games, and we’re confident this release will capture players’ hearts just as effectively.”

With its captivating theme and engaging mechanics, *Shark & Spark Hold & Win* stands poised to make waves in the iGaming industry.

Following the success of the inaugural Charity Gala by BGaming, the content studio is returning to The Phoenicia Malta on May 29th for another meaningful evening, bringing the industry together to raise funds for a valuable cause.

The invite-only event will raise funds for the DAR Bjorn in Malta, a care centre for people suffering from ALS, MS, and other life-altering neurological conditions.

In this article, we sit down with CEO BGaming, Marina Ostrovtsova, to discuss the story behind the event, the importance of DAR Bjorn, BGaming’s wider approach to charity, and more.

Can you start by telling us a little bit about DAR Bjorn and explaining why BGaming has chosen to support it?

DAR Bjorn is a cause very close to our hearts at BGaming. It is a neurological centre in Malta that provides care and treatment for people living with neurological conditions such as ALS and MS.

The centre was founded by Bjorn Formosa, who actually comes from the iGaming industry himself. He was diagnosed with ALS at just 28, and I think his story resonates very deeply with many people across our industry. Despite everything he’s faced, Bjorn remains incredibly positive, driven, and committed to helping others, which is something our whole team truly admires.

What also makes DAR Bjorn so special is the scale of the support they provide. Today, they care for around 60 residents across their centers and support nearly 800 more people in the Maltese community. The impact they have on people’s lives is very real and very visible.

And of course, Malta itself is an important home for many of us in iGaming. Supporting a local organisation that does such meaningful work felt like a very natural thing for us to do. We genuinely feel honored to support DAR Bjorn and to help contribute, even in a small way, to the incredible work they do every single day.

Last year was the inaugural Charity Gala by BGaming. What did you learn from that? And what has inspired you to return for a second year?

Last year’s Charity Gala was honestly one of the proudest moments for our team at BGaming. We raised more than €200,000 in a single evening, exceeding all our expectations. Those funds went directly toward supporting the construction of DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre, which is now becoming a reality.

But I think the most important thing we learned was how much real impact is actually possible when people come together around a shared purpose. Seeing the industry unite in that way was incredibly emotional and inspiring for all of us.

Sometimes in iGaming, we get so focused on the business side that we forget how influential and connected this industry really is. Last year reminded us that when companies, partners, and people decide to support something meaningful together, the result can be far bigger than anyone initially expects.

That’s really what inspired us to come back for a second year. Once we saw the tangible difference the Gala made for DAR Bjorn and the people supported by the centre, continuing the initiative felt like the only natural next step.

Can you tell us a little bit more about this year’s event and what makes it different from last year’s?

We really wanted this year’s Charity Gala to evolve naturally from what we created last year, not just become bigger, but also more ambitious and impactful.

One of the biggest additions this year is our partnership with NEXT.io as the official media partner, which has helped us bring even more visibility to the initiative across the industry. We’ve also expanded the overall experience for guests, with live music by Versatile, a charity raffle, an art auction, and several entertainment and fundraising activities throughout the evening.

But I’d say the biggest difference this year is the level of clarity around the impact itself.

Last year, the funds raised helped support the construction of DAR Bjorn’s new Respite Centre. This year, the focus shifts toward equipping that centre with very specific medical and care equipment, including ventilators, oxygen concentrators, specialised beds, and resident rooms. So people can very clearly see where the support is going and how it directly improves residents’ quality of life.

And honestly, one of the most inspiring things this year has been the level of support from the industry itself. Seeing companies like Flutter, Alea, SiGMA, MyAffiliates, 1spin4win, Finteq Hub, and Amusnet Gaming come together around the same cause really shows how deeply this initiative resonates within the iGaming community.

Art and creativity sound like they will be two key focuses for the evening. Can you tell us more about this?

Art and creativity have always been a very natural part of BGaming’s identity, so it felt important for us to bring that into the Charity Gala as well. This year, we’re incredibly lucky to collaborate with two outstanding artists, Gonçalo MAR and L7Matrix, both of whom are helping turn the evening into something much more immersive and emotional than a traditional charity event.

The Gala will feature an art auction with works by Gonçalo MAR, alongside a live art performance by L7Matrix during the evening itself. Art has this unique ability to create emotional connection and tell stories without words, which fits very naturally with the spirit of the initiative.

But what makes this year especially meaningful for us is the collaboration with the residents of DAR Bjorn themselves. Together with Gonçalo MAR, they participated in creative workshops that inspired a special merch collection connected to the Gala.

For us, it was important that residents were not simply beneficiaries of the initiative, but actual participants in it. Their stories and creativity became part of the project itself.

The collection will be available during NEXT Summit Valletta and online, with proceeds going directly toward supporting DAR Bjorn and the new Respite Centre.

The DAR Bjorn Charity Gala by BGaming is one of several CSR initiatives and events BGaming has been involved with in 2026. How does this align with the company’s wider philosophy?

CSR initiatives are a very important part of how we see BGaming as a company. We often describe ourselves as being “beyond” a game provider, and for us, that idea goes far beyond products or entertainment alone. It’s also about the kind of impact we want to have in the communities around us.

Whether it’s the Charity Gala by BGaming or initiatives like our recent collaboration with Centurion in Brazil, focused on supporting underserved communities, the common idea behind all of these projects is quite simple: if we have the ability to help, we should use it.

We don’t approach CSR as something separate from the business or as a short-term PR activity. It’s much more about responsibility and long-term involvement. We operate in many different markets around the world, and we genuinely believe it’s important to support the communities connected to them in a meaningful way.

I also think initiatives like this help show a different side of the iGaming industry. People often see the industry only through a commercial lens, but in reality, it’s filled with passionate people, strong communities, and companies capable of creating real impact when they come together around a shared purpose.

The industry has enormous reach, resources, and influence. And I believe projects like this are a reminder that those things can be used not only to grow businesses, but also to genuinely improve people’s lives.
