Wicked Games has been awarded the coveted Players’ Game of Choice award at this year’s Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards 2024.

Hosted by BetConstruct, the Ortak x B.F.T.H. Arena Awards serve as a prestigious platform for game developers to showcase their talents and compete for a part of the substantial prize pool of 3.3 million FTN, which according to the official Awards online page is equivalent to over 5 million euros. This year, the event included new award categories such as Best Online Casino Game, Best Game Design, and the one which deservedly went to Wicked Games, the Players’ Game of Choice. Ortak, launched by BetConstruct in January, is an innovative solution that allows casino game creators to sell shares of their games – NFT-slots – in self-determined quantities and prices (IPO).

Speaking to SiGMA News after the announcement, an elated James Davies, Regional Sales Director at Wicked Games commented, “This award means everything because it’s from the players—the purest and harshest critics. Their feedback is raw and unfiltered, driven by their enjoyment and in this case, the game’s potential. As an upcoming studio, their judgment was based purely on Eye of Bahamut, without any prior influence. On that, Eye of Bahamut delivered and we couldn’t be happier.”
