Tornado Games, the online slots developer that puts the player first, has joined forces with fellow provider BF Games to significantly increase the distribution of its titles in core markets across Europe and beyond.

This is the first time that BF Games has distributed content from another studio, marking its transition into an aggregator as well as a developer. After a period of significant growth in its active markets with operator partners, the studio’s BF HUB is an exciting new project aiming to help developers showcase their content portfolios and reach their first clients.

Tornado Games makes for the perfect aggregation partner, with its slots hitting the spot with players thanks to their striking design, authentic sound and thrilling, bonus-rich gameplay.

The game provider’s portfolio now stands at 22 slots including player-favourite titles like Centurion Super Fight, Party Birdies, Dragon’s Book, Buffalo Nights Hold ‘n’ Spin, Legions of Sparta and Fishin’ Trip. The deal also includes soon to launch releases such as Temple of Inti and TNT Mining Mission.

Tornado Games leverages cutting-edge technologies and its years of experience in both developing and playing online slots and casino games to ensure that its titles not only meet but exceed player expectations.

Now available via BF Games, Tornado Games expects to drastically increase the number of casino brands offering its slots to their players.

Thaluana Muscat, Head of Sales at Tornado Games, said: “We consider ourselves to be an up-and-coming studio, and while our slots have already taken the market by storm we want to be able to quickly ramp up distribution so that we can launch them with more operators and engage more players.

“This partnership with BF Games allows us to do just that. The game provider has been busy in recent months, entering new markets and signing plenty of operator deals. We can now leverage this incredible reach and network and continue to scale at pace.”

Rok Hribar, Senior Account and Project Manager at BF Games, added: “Having achieved substantial growth in terms of markets and the number of operator partners, we wanted to offer our reach and share our expertise with new and rising star studios developing exciting content by launching BF HUB.

“Tornado Games is the perfect partner and by joining forces we can provide our operators with yet more quality content that allows them to stand out from their rivals by delivering an edge of the seat player experience. This is a great deal for both Tornado Games and BF Games, and we are incredibly excited to see its slots land in the lobbies of our operator partners.”

Independent evaluation highlights impact of Ygam’s parent programme

An independent evaluation has provided compelling evidence that Ygam’s work is effectively equipping families with the tools and knowledge to safeguard children from gaming and gambling harms.

The evaluation report, conducted by Sherbert Research, examined Ygam’s programme tailored for parents and carers, which includes online workshops, resources, and the Family Hub website.

The evaluation, assessed against Ygam’s comprehensive Theory of Change, found ‘strong evidence across all groups’ of increased understanding of gaming and gambling harms and their impact on behaviour change and the wellbeing of children and young people. It also highlighted that parents regard Ygam as a trusted source of support and information on these subjects.

After attending a Ygam workshop, parents expressed a deeper understanding of their role in supporting children and young people on these issues. The workshops were credited with reducing stigma around gaming and gambling harms and encouraging greater engagement from families. Many parents reported proactively understanding the risks and feeling empowered to start conversations with their children about gaming and gambling, putting boundaries in place before harm occurs.

While parents and professionals are increasingly aware of the risks associated with gaming, fewer recognise children’s potential exposure to gambling and gambling-like features, along with the related harms. The report reinforces that Ygam’s work plays a vital role in closing this critical knowledge gap through awareness raising, offering effective safeguarding tools, and providing the guidance and support required to create a safer digital home environment.

The programme was also commended for shifting perceptions around video gaming and microtransactions. They described taking immediate proactive steps such as adjusting screen time, understanding app spending, and setting clearer rules around their child’s online habits.

One parent who took part in the evaluation said: “After the session, I checked my son’s gaming account and realised he had spent over £200 on in-game purchases. We talked about it, and I’ve now set up parental controls.”

The high quality and standard of Ygam’s educational content was also praised by parents, with many describing it as ‘one of the best’ workshops they had attended for addressing a topical and complex issue, and for delivering accessible knowledge that supports real-life action.

Another parent said: ” A friend mentioned Ygam after I shared concerns about my son’s gaming habits. She had been on the course and said it had really helped her understand how to manage screen time”.

Claire Patel, Programme Lead for the Parents and Carers programme at Ygam, said: “We welcome the findings of this evaluation, which highlight the widespread and meaningful difference our programme is making for families. Parents and carers know their children better than anyone, and they have a crucial role to play – but they consistently tell us they often feel under-informed in today’s fast-moving digital world. We remain committed to listening to families and providing the information and tools they need to promote healthy habits and safeguard their children from potential harms.”

The evaluation was informed by interviews and video diaries from parents, foster carers, and professionals who attended Ygam workshops between 2023 and 2024.

All recommendations for improvement will be incorporated into the ongoing review and development of Ygam’s programmes to ensure they remain as effective and impactful as possible.
