3 Oaks Gaming: Hold & Win slots and the Must Drop JACKPOT network
3 Oaks Gaming is the company that evolved from the Booongo brand. It runs 100+ titles built almost entirely on Hold & Win, plus a daily-drop jackpot network layered over them.
The studio
Who 3 Oaks Gaming are
Start with the name, because this catalogue has carried two pages for one company. 3 Oaks Gaming evolved from the brand Booongo — that is the company’s own wording in its current corporate boilerplate. Booongo is the predecessor brand; 3 Oaks is the live commercial brand that holds the licences, signs the operator deals and issues every current release.
You will also see the content tagged BNG on some platforms. That is an alias, not a third company.
3 Oaks is headquartered in the Isle of Man and describes itself as a distributor of iGaming content. It does not publish a founding year, founders, ownership or headcount, and no dated rebrand announcement exists on any trade outlet we could reach — so we are not putting a date on the transition.
The specialism is narrow and deliberate: Hold & Win video slots, with a portfolio spanning over 100 titles and a network progressive layered on top. No live dealer, no table games, no sportsbook.

What makes it different
Hold & Win, and a jackpot that has to drop
This is a studio that does one thing and layers products on top of it.
Hold & Win
The core format and the stated specialism. Coin and money symbols lock in place and trigger a respin round that persists while new symbols land, resolving into fixed cash values and grid-level awards. It underpins the Sun of Egypt, Magic Apple and Must Drop lines — effectively the whole catalogue.
Must Drop JACKPOT
A trademarked network-level daily progressive layer. Two jackpots are guaranteed to pay before reaching a stated ceiling, and the pools are configured at network level so an operator needs no individual setup per game. That last part is the commercial point.
The four-pot modifier system
Inside Must Drop titles, three modifier pots named Boost, Collect and Multi sit alongside a fourth jackpot pot, altering the Hold & Win round’s values and multipliers as they fill. It gives the respin round a second layer of progression.
Hit the Bonus and Super Coin
Two further named mechanic series, carried by Sky Coins and 3 Super Coin Volcanoes respectively. The detailed rules are not published, so we name them rather than describe them.
Where it runs
Where 3 Oaks Gaming content runs
The company describes multiple regulated European and international markets without publishing a count. Certification is evidenced in Bulgaria, Colombia, Georgia, the Isle of Man, Italy and Sweden, with the UK and Ireland as primary regions.
Named partners: SOFTSWISS (aggregation), Relax Gaming, WA.Technology, Vibra Solutions in Latin America and Winpot in Mexico.
A note on stale data: the studio’s own directory entries still frame the UK as an ambition while its 2026 boilerplate claims a held UKGC licence. Confirm the current position rather than trusting either.
- Great Britain: UK Gambling Commission — number not published
- Isle of Man: Gambling Supervision Commission — number not published
- Malta: MGA recognition notice secured 4 August 2025
- No licence numbers are published for any jurisdiction

FAQ
3 Oaks Gaming — common questions
Yes. 3 Oaks Gaming’s own corporate boilerplate says the company evolved from the brand Booongo. Booongo is the predecessor brand; 3 Oaks holds the licences, signs the deals and issues every current release. Treating them as two suppliers with separate catalogues is wrong.
It is an alias some platforms use for this content, carried over from the Booongo era. It is not a third brand.
Not published. No dated rebrand announcement exists on any trade outlet we could reach. A 2022 interview already presents 3 Oaks as a going concern with its own managing director, so this may have been a staged transition rather than a single-day rename.
A trademarked network-level daily progressive. Two jackpots are guaranteed to pay before hitting a stated ceiling, and the pools are configured at network level, so an operator does not set anything up per game.
Inside Must Drop titles, three modifier pots — Boost, Collect and Multi — sit alongside a fourth jackpot pot. As they fill they change the values and multipliers in the Hold & Win round, giving the respin a second layer of progression.
Over 100, by the company’s own figure. Directory pages quoting 150 to 200+ exceed what the studio itself claims.
It names the UK Gambling Commission and the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission, and secured an MGA recognition notice in August 2025. It publishes no licence numbers for any jurisdiction, so those must be pulled from the regulators’ own registers.
