The slot developer is in the running for a studio category, as well as a Most Played Game nomination for Joker Winpot.

ELA Games has been nominated in two major categories at the upcoming SiGMA Americas Awards.

One of the most prominent events in the LatAm iGaming calendar, the SiGMA Americas Awards recognize and reward the expertise and innovation of the industry’s leading suppliers and operators. Earning these nominations points to ELA Games’ expanding presence and entertaining slot content for a global audience, including tailoring its games to build the strongest possible connection with players in Latin America.

ELA’s nominations span the following key categories:

Delegate Vote: Best Game Studio 2026

In the Delegate Vote section, ELA Games is up for Best Game Studio. This category recognizes studios making a notable impact on the local industry, rewarding all-round creative and technical excellence.

Public Vote: Most Played Game – Joker Winpot

Following multiple award nods at various industry events already this year, the studio’s popular title, Joker Winpot, continues its successful run with a nomination for Most Played Game. Moving away from standard classic themes, this release brings high-energy gameplay to the reels, capturing players with its strikingly animated Joker, and the intense decision-making draw of the signature Winpot feature.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director at ELA Games, commented on the nominations: “It’s always an honor to be recognized by SiGMA, and especially in a region we have put so much effort into perfecting the tone for. The Latin American market, and Brazil in particular, is growing fast and a big focus for us right now. To be up for Best Game Studio here means the games we create are landing well with the local industry. Seeing Joker Winpot nominated for Most Played Game by public vote is a great bonus, as it proves that the interactivity of Winpot is popular worldwide, just as we intended it to be”

The winners will be announced during the BiS SiGMA South America expo, hosted at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo, Brazil, from April 6 to 9, 2026. The official awards night will kick off the event on April 6th. Voting closes on March 30th, and we urge all players and the iGaming public to visit the official SiGMA website and cast their vote for Joker Winpot and ELA Games today.

ELA Games has released Spirit of Savanna, a new online slot that introduces a player-choice bonus mechanic alongside Hold and Win, Free Spins, and three jackpot tiers.

Spirit of Savanna runs on a 5×3 reel grid with 10 paylines and is rated volatility 4 out of 5, according to the supplier. RTP is listed across two ranges: 93.98-94.16% and 96.01-96.12%.

The main differentiator is how a Wild symbol contributes to a winning combination. Instead of triggering a fixed feature, the game prompts players to choose between seven Free Spins or a Hold and Win bonus.

Both bonus paths include a Repeat Win feature that carries the value of the triggering win into each spin of the bonus round. The Free Spins feature can also retrigger using the same Wild-combination logic. The game includes three jackpot tiers, with the Grand Jackpot available either by landing two Antelopes or by filling an entire row with coins during Hold and Win.
