The BGaming team talk about graphic design classic innovation and pioneering methods for the iGaming business with virtual reality one subject being touted to change the face of online gambling. A recent press report states that they believe that for a market requiring dynamic design, game designers must not only be creative but must also have a pioneering approach.
The report writes of BGaming being fast-growing and innovative in providing iGaming content. They have accumulated fascinating trends in graphic designs for many of the online casino gaming content and will now focus on bringing virtual reality to iGaming; a concept already being tested out by Evolution via its Gonzo’s Treasure Hunt VR!
Focusing on mobile device gaming
BGaming’s production process is heavily influenced by the extraordinary number of players playing on modern-day gadgets. Over 94% of their followers prefer playing on a handheld device rather than a desktop computer. With the new generation of players coming through, it would seem that 94% is only going to increase within the very near future. BGamings Art Director, Alexey Ulanov, mentions that what is important to players is familiarity and they will respond to convenience. Saying this, providers of iGaming have produced content similar to Match-3 logic which are vertical video slot games.
Commenting on classic slots, Ulanov notices that on mobile devices, small details are easily rejected due to either pixel ability of the device or the screen size where the human eye would not register it if too small. So, some simplification of content is what is required.
Diversity of Styles
A basic style in design coincided with a lower number of effects and key elements, with fewer gradients and colour mixtures is required in mobile gaming. Such simplistic design still gives the provider opportunity to deliver their own ideas which makes a game its own. Alexey Ulanov talking about the simplicity of styles mentioned the latest work in the pipeline for BGaming, Space XY. This title is a fine example of cryptocurrency gaming. He states that he fully expects to see developments in heavy graphic games and also the games that follow a more simplistic approach to design. Perhaps even, we will see some attempts being made to have both styles, by creating two different versions of the same title, meaning the same game could be suitable for more devices.
Simple, cartoon-style designs are predominantly the ideal style for most leading providers of giving content, as there are less complications attached to them. Ulanov is of the opinion that the cartoon styles also bring with them the freedom of expression by bringing even the craziest of ideas to life.
One of BGaming’s most recent releases is Dig Dig Digger and this would be a model example of simplistically designed video slot titles!
Can VR/AR be the future for iGaming?
The period of making completely innovative new devices has reached somewhat of a stagnant stage in the life cycle. However, providers of iGaming can still try to get into what is already out there today – not every device has been fully utilised. AR and VR gaming, for example, is still pretty much untouched by iGaming and so, the possibility of incorporating 3D visuals into our casino gaming, is a very real prospect and one that is in the early stages of development. Alexandr Shavel, of BGaming, says that the thought of AR and VR is a promising area that can be entered into for iGaming generally but particularly for BGaming. The Head of the BizDev Department also mentioned that he believes it could rejuvenate the industry.
Right now, BGaming is developing VR gaming but wants to stamp its own character on it. Shavel insists that the primary objective is for the clients to have fun playing their favourite games.
A Future for the Classics
A BGaming classic like Fruit Million is always in demand. The game changes its skin over the course of a year for the purpose of celebrating all the different events that occur. It might be Christmas, Halloween or Valentine’s Day, BGaming wants to celebrate everything with everyone.
BGaming’s Game Producer, Yulia Aliakseyeva, spoke about the thinking behind the title and hopes that it puts all playing in a festive mood!
