EGT Digital and GameArt: the studio's slots join the Bulgarian aggregator
On 12 August 2026, GameArt announced a distribution partnership with EGT Digital, the iGaming arm of the Bulgarian group Euro Games Technology. The idea is simple. A selection of the studio's slots goes into the EGT Digital aggregator, and every connected operator can add it to its game library without launching a new technical project. Zeus Blitz: Power Strike, released on 21 July, deals the first hand. Four older titles follow, drawn from GameArt's portfolio, where blazing fruit and gleaming 7s sit alongside the gods of Olympus and a moon rabbit.
The press release runs to a few paragraphs and a single quote from Gašper Žun, the studio's CEO. Nothing to shake the walls of a trade show.
Still, I never underestimate this kind of quiet announcement. In fifteen years as an affiliate, I have watched brilliant studios fade away because they never found their way to operators. I have also seen smaller ones turn up everywhere thanks to a handful of well-chosen distribution deals. Talent makes great games. Distribution decides whether they get played.
First, though, it helps to understand what an aggregator really is, how much weight EGT Digital carries and what players gain from the deal. Everything plays out in the machine room, literally and figuratively.
What does the GameArt and EGT Digital deal cover?
The mechanism is quick to sum up. According to GameArt's announcement, the studio is making a selection of its content available to operators through the EGT Digital aggregator, accessible with a single integration. Five titles get the spotlight. Zeus Blitz: Power Strike is billed as a recent hit, while Lunar Rabbit, Xtreme Hot, 40 Super Blazing Sevens and Hot Fruit Delights are presented as player favourites.
The release also points out that GameArt's content is certified in Bulgaria, Croatia, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Serbia and Montenegro, among other markets. The stated goal is twofold. GameArt wants to widen the reach of its portfolio and strengthen its presence in regulated international markets.
Gašper Žun sums up what is at stake without beating around the bush: "We're very pleased to partner with EGT Digital and expand the reach of our content through its aggregator network. Distribution is an important part of our growth strategy, and partnerships like this make it easier for operators to access GameArt's portfolio while helping us bring our games to more players across regulated markets." He also says he is excited about the opportunities this collaboration will create for GameArt's teams and partners alike.
One word in that text matters: selection. Only part of GameArt's library is entering the aggregator, not its full range of games.
What is a casino game aggregator?
A casino game aggregator is a B2B platform that brings together games from many studios behind a single integration. The operator connects once, through an API (the interface that lets two systems talk to each other), then switches on the providers of its choice from one management tool.
Picture the dealer's shoe, the box at the end of a blackjack table that holds cards from several shuffled decks. The dealer does not fetch each deck from a different storeroom. Everything comes out through the same slot. The aggregator plays that role for online casinos. Without one, offering fifty studios would mean fifty contracts, fifty technical integrations and just as many updates to keep an eye on.
For a mid-sized studio, the maths works both ways. Each aggregator instantly puts its collection within reach of every connected operator, who then only has to switch it on. It is less prestigious than a direct contract with a big brand, but it is often faster. GameArt knows the drill, since a previous aggregation deal signed by the studio had already brought its games to REEVO in late 2023. EGT Digital simply extends the list.
Two kinds of aggregator you should not confuse
The word is confusing, and GameArt itself uses it in two senses. The EGT Digital aggregator is a professional tool, invisible to players, that connects studios with operators. Yet the studio described Betting.bet as a "global casino aggregator" in its March 2025 press release. Betting.bet guides players towards online games and casinos, and it opened a page dedicated to GameArt titles. In other words, it is a player-side aggregator: it recommends where the first one distributes. Remember the difference. One decides what a casino can put on its shelves, the other influences which door you knock on.
What players get out of it
For you, nothing changes on the surface. The game opens in the casino lobby like any other title. The aggregator works behind the scenes on the variety of that lobby, because a connected operator can add a studio without starting from scratch. There is a flip side, though. Whether a game is available still depends on each operator's choices and on the title's certification in your country. The same slot can shine at a Spanish casino and be missing at a Dutch operator.
EGT Digital: the digital arm of a Bulgarian gaming heavyweight
Behind EGT Digital stands Euro Games Technology, a group founded in 2002 in Sofia and long known for its land-based gaming machines. Its digital arm, which took this name in 2020, now claims more than 1,200 employees according to the official company profile. The same page names Vladimir Dokov as its CEO.
Its offer covers the whole gaming chain, online and in venues. It includes in-house games, instant games and betting terminals for retail outlets. At its core sits the X-Nave platform, which combines a sportsbook module, the game aggregator, a CRM tool and a payment gateway. Operators can take the whole package as a turnkey solution or pick a single module.
The seven countries named by GameArt all appear on the map of 42 jurisdictions displayed by EGT Digital. That is no minor detail. An aggregator is only worth the markets where it can actually deliver its games.
One last point, to avoid a common mix-up. EGT Digital is not Amusnet, the former EGT Interactive, renamed in June 2022. They are two distinct companies, and their shared Bulgarian roots have not stopped them from going their separate ways.
How many games does the EGT Digital aggregator really hold?
The answer depends on the day you ask. EGT Digital currently displays more than 20,000 games from over 200 providers on its dedicated aggregator page, but its counters have moved a lot. On 18 June 2025, European Gaming reported 24,000 games from more than 300 providers.
A week later, iGaming Future spoke of more than 13,000 titles and over 130 providers. I am not crying foul. These gaps probably come down to different ways of counting. They simply remind us that a shop-window counter reads like the odds posted at a racecourse entrance: a guide, never a guarantee. For an operator, the only question that matters is which games are certified in its market.
Five slots top the bill
The five games named cover quite a wide range, from old-school blazing fruit to mythological Hold & Win. Here is what the studio's official game pages say about them.

The youngest of the bunch, Zeus Blitz: Power Strike packs a storm into three reels and three rows. According to the official game page, its Zeus Core symbols carry multipliers or fixed jackpots. An energy orb can scoop up their values (Thunder Blitz), and a surprise appearance by Zeus guarantees entry into the bonus (Strike Surge).
With fruit and 7s in the spotlight, the other three titles are a reminder of where slots come from. Before mythologies in 3D, there were the cherries, bells and 7s of the one-armed bandits. GameArt keeps that tradition alive with simple grids and a gamble feature with a whiff of old pub fruit machines. On two of them, the fruit even bursts into flames with every win.
Volatility: which game suits which budget?
Volatility describes a slot's temperament, meaning how often it pays and how big the wins are. Low volatility pays out small wins frequently. High volatility pays less often, but bigger.
This selection covers the full spectrum. 40 Super Blazing Sevens is rated very low volatility and keeps time like a metronome, while Xtreme Hot stays in the low range. Zeus Blitz: Power Strike moves up to high volatility, and Lunar Rabbit climbs to very high. Those two rumble like a summer storm, quiet for a long time before they break.
If your budget is tight or you enjoy long sessions, low-volatility games cushion losing streaks better. Highly volatile games call for a bigger bankroll and some patience. Otherwise, the break in the clouds comes after your session has ended. Two habits apply to all five titles. First, check the info screen of each game, where the RTP (return to player) and the full rules usually appear. Then keep the gamble feature for wins you are ready to lose entirely, and set deposit limits before you play, not after.
In which countries are GameArt games certified?
A certified game has been checked, before going live, against the technical requirements of the country where it will be offered. That covers the random number generator, the payout rules and the information shown to players. GameArt's press release names seven markets, among others.

The studio itself is registered in Malta. GameArt Ltd has held licence MGA/B2B/966/2022 from the Malta Gaming Authority since 6 February 2023. The list does not cover every country, and the rules vary widely from one jurisdiction to another. Some license online casino games, while others only allow sports betting or poker. Before you play, check what your local regulator actually authorises.
Across these markets, the rules are tightening for everyone. In Bulgaria, EGT Digital's home turf, affiliates have needed a five-year licence from the National Revenue Agency since 1 August 2026. As law firm CMS explains, it comes at a price: a €6,000 annual fee, 10% of commissions withheld at source by the operator and a ban on promoting any operator without a Bulgarian licence. I have been an affiliate since 2011, so I have mixed feelings about it. The 10% withholding stings, no point pretending otherwise. But when every link in the chain, from studio to affiliate, has to prove its credentials, the first to go are those who pushed unlicensed casinos. I will not miss them.
This deal did not come out of nowhere. For years, GameArt has been lining up partnerships with platforms, operators and recommendation sites, and 2026 has picked up the pace. GameArt's news section shows the scale of it: Casino di Venezia in May, Solcasino in Spain less than two weeks later, EGT Digital in August and Italian operator Vincitù in September. Then came a shortlisting for Best Slot Game Provider at the SiGMA Awards 2026.
Put end to end, these deals tell the story of a network-building strategy rather than a string of one-off moves. Anyone who browses the studio's provider news sees the same tune replayed: an operator here, a platform there, an aggregator somewhere else.
It remains to be seen how many operators connected to EGT Digital will actually switch these games on, and in which countries. An aggregator is like a well-stocked shoe. It guarantees the cards reach the table, not that anyone will want to play them.
The two partners will be able to discuss it face to face in early November at SiGMA World Rome 2026, at Fiera Roma. GameArt will be on stand H6-6022 and EGT Digital on stands H6-6050 to H6-6052. I would happily bet that the selection will grow if Zeus Blitz: Power Strike delivers in the lobbies. But a bet is still a bet.
