ELA Games celebrates nomination for Tea Party of Fortune

ELA Games’s Tea Party of Fortune has been shortlisted for Slot Newcomer of the Year at the SiGMA Africa Awards 2026.

The nomination highlights the studio’s focus on story-driven design as the iGaming industry gets ready to meet this March at the Grand Arena in Cape Town.

An inventive take on a classic fairytale 

Tea Party of Fortune got the nomination mainly because of its visual style and how it handles the Hold & Win mechanic. It’s not one of those static slots; the “Overflowing Teacup” progression keeps things building up throughout the game.

The game keeps players involved on the way to the Secret Garden. In the bonus round, colored tea coins activate the cups, the grid expands from 5×3 to 5×5, wins can multiply, and extra re-spins are added, so the round can go in different directions each time.

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, commented: 

“Having Tea Party of Fortune recognized at SiGMA Africa is a great moment for the team. We focused on bringing the characters to life through detailed animation and a story that unfolds as you play. Having our work acknowledged by the industry in such a vibrant market is a proud achievement for everyone at ELA Games.” 

The Slot Newcomer of the Year award is open to the public vote, ELA GAMES invites everyone to show their support for the studio and cast a vote for Tea Party of Fortune through the SiGMA Africa Public Voting Form.
