Introducing Bigly, the game-changing studio
New developer hits the market with a never seen before commercial model that promises to revolutionise how operators pay for slots
Bigly is set to revolutionise the content provision space with the studio coming to market with a unique commercial model that allows operators to offer blockbuster slots to their players for a capped cost.
For operators, this means no more expensive revenue share deals with studios and no more promoting the same games as their rivals. Instead, they can push the games that best deliver the experiences their players are seeking and keep the lion’s share of the revenues they generate.
Bigly is a bold and ambitious studio that uses a hybrid of a revenue share agreement with the fee each operator pays capped at a fixed amount each year.
With a product roadmap that allows for ten top-quality titles per year, operators get more bang for their buck with each passing month as more games are added to the Bigly portfolio. The studio’s first slot will be Deep Sea Treasure, a visually striking cascade game that promises plenty of bonus action.
Because of the capped monthly cost, Bigly’s games are a reliable and predictable expense, providing huge monetisation opportunities for operators to explore. The more marketing clout the operator puts behind each game, the better it can perform and the more revenue it can generate.
This is revenue the operator gets to keep instead of handing a percentage back to the studio, as is the case with standard commercial agreements.
Bigly is the brainchild of industry veteran Liam Mulvaney who is joined by a team of bright minds and creative talent to produce Bigly’s content portfolio. To drive Bigly to its intended targets, Reelsoft has joined as the company’s technology partner.
Reelsoft is a key player in the iGaming technology sector, offering powerful, scalable solutions for game studios and aggregators and at the heart of Bigly’s operation is Reelsoft’s development team and Vision RGS which is the company’s innovative remote game server. Vision RGS enables rapid development of casino games such as slots, table games and crash games while ensuring smooth integration for operators providing a stable and robust foundation for Bigly’s ambitious plans.
Liam Mulvany, Founder and Chief Commercial Officer at Bigly, said: “Bigly is not just another slot studio – there are already 100s of those doing pretty much the same thing. This is an industry that talks a lot about innovation yet still turns to the same commercial model that’s been used for decades. Instead, we have come to market with an entirely new commercial model we believe will be super appealing to operators.
“Because of our capped monthly fees, operators can become really creative with the games they offer to their players and how they go about marketing them. The more they push our content, the better it performs and the more revenue it generates – revenue they get to keep.
“At a time of growing costs and shrinking margins, Bigly is exactly what operators need. Our games hit the mark with players, and they also hit the ROI operators are seeking. We are already in late-stage talks with several operators and will be announcing our first partners shortly.”
Thomas Nimstad, CEO of Reelsoft, commented: “We’re thrilled to support Bigly’s journey from unique concept to launch. Their innovative approach to the commercial model is exciting and new in the industry, and we’re excited to see their creative vision come to life on our vision RGS platform. We believe in empowering studios like Bigly with the tools and infrastructure they need to focus on creating exceptional content, and we’re confident that Bigly will shake up the market with their new commercial concept and games.”

BGaming Marks the First Anniversary of Viral Hit Aviamasters™ with Record-Breaking Metrics

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming celebrates the first anniversary of the release of its viral casual game, Aviamasters™. The game has broken multiple records over the last six months and has redefined what players can expect from aviation-inspired casual gaming.
Launched in July 2024, the game has proven to be a viral banger, demonstrating continued growth throughout the year. In the past six months, it has received over 500 million TikTok views, with over 200 new videos being posted daily on the platform. This incredible social media presence, combined with ad campaigns and affiliate strategies, has built a strong community of players around the game.
Beyond its viral popularity, Aviamasters™ distinguishes itself from the aviation-style crash games that have flooded the market in the last couple of years. Its unique physics-based mechanic shifts the focus from avoiding a crash to mastering a successful landing, making Aviamasters™ stand out as both intuitive and deeply engaging for players worldwide.
This unique approach has clearly resonated with players, with Aviamasters™ delivering excellent metrics. The game reported a 740% increase in new players over the course of five months, with a consistent week-on-week growth, including significant increases across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
All of this success has also led to strong market demand, with top-tier casinos adapting the product to fit their own brand, including Shuffle’s “Happy Bird” and RainBet’s “Aviamasters™.
Aviamasters™ and BGaming’s full portfolio of products will be on display at the upcoming SBC Lisbon event in September. The BGaming team will be on hand to discuss the game’s success in person and explore the value that other games in its portfolio can deliver, learn more.
Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “When we launched Aviamasters™ a year ago, we could have only dreamed about how successful it has been. The game’s viral popularity and strategic value are clear. Not only has it helped establish BGaming as a leading voice in the casual gaming space, but it has also helped our partners attract millions of customers. We can’t wait to showcase the game, as well as many of our other gaming products, at SBC Lisbon this September.”
