ELA Games has confirmed its shortlisting for the “European Casino Content Supplier – Under 5 Years” category at the EGR Europe Awards, a recognition the studio views as a key step in its rapid rise.
The Under 5 Years category was created to recognize the newer faces in the industry. Giving the stage to the studios that are bringing a refreshed energy to the market and proving they can deliver top-tier entertainment, even without decades of history behind them.
A highlight of the studio’s 2025 achievements, this nomination reflects a year of strategic expansion. ELA Games has successfully balanced creative innovation with the technical reliability required for regulated markets, securing certifications and launches across Europe and beyond.
The nomination acknowledges ELA Games’ ability to scale effectively while maintaining high content standards. By securing key partnerships with major operators including Betsson, Superbet, and ComeOn Group, the studio has expanded its active player base significantly. Part of this growth is demonstrated in the form of 16 new games launched in the last 12 months alone, bringing ELA Games’ diverse portfolio to over 50 games.
The studio continues to push boundaries with titles that resonate across different player demographics. From the strategic depth of the Winpot series to the fast-paced action of Shoot Happens, an innovative instant shooter. ELA Games is diversifying the traditional casino experience. These releases have delivered measurable success, with titles like Buffalo Force and Piñatas Festival shattering internal expectations immediately upon launch.
Commenting on the nomination, Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director at ELA Games, said: “Being shortlisted for the ‘Under 5 Years’ category of such a prestigious award is a powerful validation of our journey so far. It shows that a young studio can deliver the maturity, stability, and performance usually associated with long-standing giants. The award represents the original and visually rich content we offer the market, and we are thrilled to be recognised alongside the best in Europe.”
