Gaming1 - Belgian Market Leader Since 1992
Gaming1 was founded in 1992 in Liege, Belgium, as part of what is now the Ardent Group. They started as a land-based casino and gaming operator, and built their position as the leader in the Belgian gaming market across casinos, sports betting, and poker before the online era began.
Their pivot to online gaming came in 2011, when they began developing HTML5 casino games specifically for regulated European markets. By 2020, the group was recording €275 million in turnover. They have won multiple MiGEA awards, including Best Gaming Company of the Year.
As a member of the Belgian Association of Gaming Operators (BAGO), Gaming1 is involved in the regulatory dialogue between operators and the Belgian government, a level of institutional credibility that most slot studios don’t have.
What I Found About Gaming1 Free Spins
You have quite a few choices when it comes to Gaming1 promotions, but some are more common than others:
Welcome deposit packages are the most standard route. These tend to be tiered: for example, an offer I found scales from 50 up to 300 free spins across the first five consecutive deposits at 25xB wagering, with a minimum deposit of €20 per step. Wagering on standard welcome packages sits around 35xB.
Weekend reload deals also appear on the list. These are deposit-triggered and available on specific days only. Spin counts scale with how much you deposit, like from 10 FS to over 100, and wagering sits as low as 1xB on the best offer, which is effectively no wagering at all.
Ruby Stone and the Book of Scarab
![ruby stone and the book of scarab tableau]()
Released in September 2021, Ruby Stone and the Book of Scarab is Gaming1’s entry into the Book-of slot format. The protagonist is Ruby Stone, an Indiana Jones-adjacent adventurer in search of a pharaoh’s tomb.
The mechanic runs on two layers. In the base game, the Scarab Medallion acts as a scatter that can expand to fill its entire reel when a winning combination is possible, a feature that fires in the base game before you’ve even reached the free spins.
Land 3 or more Book scatters to trigger 10 free spins, during which a randomly chosen symbol becomes the expanding symbol for the entire round. Fill a reel with the chosen symbol for the entire round.
I played a few sessions on the demo, but it kept disconnecting after a few spins. The game seems interesting despite the functional issues. It’s a classic Book-of slot, but with a Gaming1 spin to it.
Gaming1 Free Spins - Nice Selection, Solid Provider
Gaming1 free spins coverage is limited in dedicated terms, but available in the broader bonus list. Some weekend deals or tiered bonuses actually have good terms, but you have to pay attention.
The studio itself is more credible than most players realize. Their games play well if the connection is stable (unlike mine). Their limitation is distribution. They’re a Belgian operator whose online games haven’t achieved the mainstream casino presence of studios that focus exclusively on B2B game supply.
For broader bonus coverage and stronger promotional traction, Pragmatic Play or BGaming’s free spins offers are the more obvious choice.

Experience
Bogdan is a Junior Content Writer at SpinMyBonus, covering casino bonuses, free spins offers, and in-depth operator analysis.
He came to writing with more industry background than most. He was an Account Manager in the iGaming industry, where he built the operator connections that later fed into his PR work.
From 2023 to 2025, he worked as a PR Specialist within the online gambling industry, managing direct relationships with more than 50 casino operators. That experience gave him direct insight into how casino brands position themselves, how promotions are communicated, and which details tend to matter most to both affiliates and players.
Before moving into content, he also dealt Blackjack at Evolution. That experience sharpened his understanding of how casino products actually feel to use, not just how they look on a bonus page.
He plays poker, slots, and grand strategy games in his free time, which helped him build a practical understanding of how casino products feel from the user side, not just how they are marketed.
At SpinMyBonus, Bogdan combines that operational and PR experience with a genuine interest in casino games and bonuses. His writing is shaped by both industry knowledge and real player curiosity, helping him create content that feels informed, grounded, and easy to trust.
Education
Bogdan holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Bucharest. His studies built strong critical thinking and communication skills, both useful when writing content that players are supposed to trust.
