ELA Games nominated at SBC Awards Europe
Two of ELA Games‘ titles, Joker Winpot and Piñatas Festival, have been nominated at the SBC Awards Europe.
The SBC Awards Europe 2026 ceremony will take place at Xara Lodge in Malta, bringing together some of the sector’s most prominent names. For ELA Games, these nominations are another step in its focus on reshaping slot development for the European market through strong storytelling and detailed visual design.
Among the nominees is Pinatas Festival, one of the studio’s most colorful releases. Shortlisted in the Game Design & Art Direction category, the game features a vibrant fiesta theme, bold color contrasts, and energetic animations.
Joker Winpot has also secured a nomination in the Casino Entertainment – Game of the Year category. The game features a Joker character, whose playful yet slightly dark personality adds tension to the gameplay, combined with familiar casino elements and the studio’s signature Winpot feature.
Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director at ELA Games, commented on the nominations:
“We are very pleased to be recognized by the SBC Awards in two such competitive categories. I personally love both of these games because they both feel incredibly distinct and full of character, the bright colours of Pinatas Festival make it feel like it is jumping out of the screen, so I am especially happy to see them up for awards. To also have Joker Winpot nominated for Game of the Year is a fantastic validation of the amazing Winpot mechanic.”
Winners will be revealed at the official SBC Awards ceremony on April 30, where attendees will come together to network and check out some of the industry’s most exciting new games.
