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.”
