20+ years in the gambling industry including 13+ years playing and reviewing slots.
Founded in 2025, Ebaka Games is a new casino game studio that describes itself as a ‘cult of creators’. Aiming to rock the casino space, a team of industry veterans and creative misfits will offer fresh takes on Crash, Mines, Tower, Plinko and slot games, but with a twist that will make players’ hearts race.
I spoke to investor Dmitry Belianan, an experienced marketing strategist and leader in the gaming industry, about Ebaka Games. The exclusive Q&A interview looks at the inspiration behind the company, what will set them apart, the game creation process, whether they will be available to play at UK slot sites and what to expect in 2025.
Q: Can you tell me what inspired Ebaka Games and the journey to date?
DB: “Ebaka Games was born out of a deeper realisation - the world evolves, players evolve, and their expectations shift fast. We come from a mix of nomadic and, let’s be honest, slightly degen souls who wanted to inject real energy and edge into casino games. Our journey started when a few veterans from the industry finally said: ‘Let’s do it our way.’ We were done with being told ‘no’ in corporate boardrooms and wanted to create something bold, raw, and completely different. That’s how Ebaka Games took off, by channelling real player instincts and instincts from the trenches.”
Q: What will set Ebaka Games apart from the current casino game providers in the industry?
DB: “We’re not afraid to make players uncomfortable, in the best possible way. Our goal is to mess with expectations, blend humour with unpredictability, and still have players smash that ‘Play’ button again and again. We’re pushing creative boundaries that many providers are too cautious to cross. Our games aren’t just slots, they’re stories, statements, and sometimes a little bit of chaos wrapped in amazing design and sticky mechanics.”
Q: Are there any providers that have influenced Ebaka Games?
DB: “There is definitely respect for studios like Nolimit City and Push Gaming, those who aren’t afraid to go off-script. But lately, we’ve been vibing with BGaming, especially their co-partnered titles. And shoutout to Shady Lady: that one hit different. Ultimately, though, we’re carving out our own direction. Influence is cool, but we’re more about building something that others will want to reference next.”
Q: How does the new game creation process work?
DB: “It always kicks off with a weird or wild idea: something you’d never pitch in a traditional studio. From there, we bring it to life through sharp visuals, surprising mechanics, and a math model that keeps players hooked. We’re a team of veterans with the creative scars to prove it - ideas we had in the past were often shelved in big corporate environments. Now? Those very ideas are the lifeblood of what we do. No filters, no compromises - just games we genuinely believe in.”
Q: Will Ebaka Games titles be available to play in the UK?
DB: “Yes, 100%. We want to be available worldwide. We’ve already had multiple aggregators approach us with distribution offers, and a few operators are in talks for exclusive access to some of our titles. That kind of early response, especially around our branding, naming, and bold game design, shows that our vision is not just daring, but something the industry is clearly hungry for. The feedback since our launch has been insane in the best way.”
Q: What casino games can we expect in 2025?
DB: “We’re working on 5–6 instant game titles: reimagined versions of popular mechanics like mines, limbo, and crash. but with that signature Ebaka flavour. Think mad visuals, absurd themes, and mechanics turned on their heads. Beyond the games, we’re also developing a full platform layer that adds multiplayer features, cross-operator perks, and more - because we believe the next wave of casino gaming is about community, not just spinning reels.”
Q: Can we get a sneak preview of upcoming releases?
DB: “Let’s just say you’ll want to watch out for ‘toxic’ Plinko levels, ‘burning’ Limbo games, and ‘flying money’ crash modes. We’re not ready to spill all the details - we’ve got some exclusivity deals in the works and we don’t want to ruin the surprise. But I’ll give you this: we’re coming to market with something explosive. Let your imagination run wild and we’ll do the rest.”
