Homa, the world’s leading mobile game publisher, is pleased to announce the appointment of Henry Lowenfels as its new President and Chief Business Officer (CBO).

With extensive experience in the mobile gaming industry and a strong track record, Henry will join Homa’s executive team contributing to the company’s growth and achievement of strategic plans.

Henry boasts extensive experience in the gaming industry, having held leadership roles in key companies such as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Scopely and Chief Product Officer at OneTeam Partners. He joined Scopely in its early stages in 2012 and made his way to the executive team playing a vital role in the company’s development, culminating in its $4.9 billion acquisition by Savvy Games Group in 2023. Over his eight-year tenure at Scopely, Henry’s contribution was instrumental in reshaping the company’s publishing approach and securing significant licensing deals for popular IPs like Monopoly Go!, Star Trek™ Fleet Command, Walking Dead: Road to Survival, and WWE Champions. He also led the Corporate Development team through important M&A deals including the acquisition of Digit Games and FoxNet, and fostered Scopely’s strong developer ecosystem, partnering with studios across four continents. These include renowned names like IUGO, Boss Fight, Mediatonic, and Aquiris, thereby solidifying the company’s industry presence. Furthermore, during his time at OneTeam Partners, he was responsible for overseeing video game and web3 product strategy and business development of the company, growing the business from a $300 million valuation when he joined to a $1.9 billion exit just over two years later.

Leveraging his strong background in business development and publishing, Lowenfels will support Homa in enhancing organizational performance and growth through strategic partnerships. His contributions will help drive the company’s vision and strengthen its positioning as a leading player in the mobile gaming industry, with a focus on innovation and emerging genres such as hybridcasual, a field in which the company has already taken significant steps. Homa recently doubled down its hybridcasual division and is strengthening its cutting-edge tech platform “Homa Lab” for empowered hybridcasual publishing.

“We are delighted to welcome Henry to our team” stated Daniel Nathan, Founder & CEO at Homa. “We’re confident that his extensive experience in the entertainment industry and his business development approach will have an important positive impact on the growth of the company. We look forward to working closely with him to push the boundaries of mobile gaming and continue empowering game creators and ourselves to create chart-topping games”.

Lowenfels has also expressed his excitement to join Homa and contribute to its continued success. “Homa is a pioneering force in the mobile gaming industry, and I am honored to become part of this growing, disruptive and ambitious team,” said Henry. “The company is undergoing an amazing expansion stage right now and I’m excited to contribute to it and further position Homa as a leader in the gaming space.”

With Lowenfels’ appointment, Homa continues its commitment to hiring top talent to drive growth, innovation, and disruption in the mobile gaming industry.

Integrating content from one of the most innovative and creative online slots providers adds yet more creative muscle to QTech Games’ burgeoning platform, which is taking the widest range of online games to emerging territories with established names, such as Yggdrasil and Evolution, sitting alongside the industry’s most exciting up-and-coming providers. The games made available to its partners via the deal are comprised of popular hits and recent releases, including 3 Fortune Souls, Fruit Invaders, 3 Spirit Volcanoes, Fortune Bags and Blazing Crown Deluxe – each of which ride on the back of unique maths modelling that varies the volatility spectrum, helping to create some truly engaging gameplay.

Find your Prince Charming in A Hopping Kiss by Elysium Studios

Valentines Day may be behind us, but over at popular software provider, Swintt, love is definitely in the air this month in A Hopping Kiss – the latest title in the Elysium Studios line-up where free spins and multipliers guarantee that a happy ending is never far away.

Set to a backdrop of a moonlit pond flanked by towering statues, A Hopping Kiss is a five-reel, 11-payline slot that draws its inspiration from traditional fairytales.

Featuring lily pads, potions, golden crowns and two wilds among its unique symbols, the game follows the story of a star-crossed romance as a spellbound princess looks to turn one lucky frog into her Prince Charming.

Should both of these characters appear simultaneously during a spin, they’ll substitute for any regular symbol before hopping to a new reel position on the following turn. If the two ever meet on adjacent reel spaces, however, this is where the magic really happens as they’ll both transform into a new Mega Wild that will remain locked in place while a complimentary re-spin takes place.

During this bonus re-spin, additional Golden Frog symbols come into play, with these potentially extending their tongues and snagging a reward from the multiplier bar above the reels to boost the value of any active payline wins before players are returned back to the standard base game.

Of course, this being an Elysium Studios slot, there’s also a fun free spins feature that can either be activated by landing three scatter symbols our bought into directly using the “Buy” button. When triggered normally, players will be prompted to swipe a reel to reveal the type of spins they’ll be playing, but when bought into, players will be able to choose between three different options.

Chasing Free Spins will ensure that a princess and a frog are always present on the reels and could potentially meet at any point to grant an additional re-spin, while Mega Wild Free Spins skip this step entirely and jump straight to adding a 2×2 or 3×3 wild to the reels on every spin. The third choice, Random Free Spins, can award either of these two bonuses – and during all three options, extra Free Spins will be added to the multiplier bar so that Golden Frogs can prolong the feature.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “The story of the princess and the frog is a beloved classic celebrated by many different cultures – but in A Hopping Kiss, Elysium Studios have given this time-worn tale a fresh set of legs. Packed with Free Spins and rewarding multipliers, it’s an enchanting addition to our line-up that’ll have players falling head over heels!”

VeliTech is proud to announce its return to the SBC Summit Lisbon 2025, taking place from 16-18 September at Feira Internacional de Lisboa.

Building on last year’s momentum and following a year of significant growth and product milestones, the company is ready to demonstrate its battle-tested iGaming ecosystem for emerging markets.

Taking centre stage is VeliGames, an aggregation powerhouse by VeliTech, now supported by a newly launched dedicated website. Far more than a content library, VeliGames brings together scale, flexibility and engagement tools in one platform. The team is ready to demonstrate its full potential at stand A550, showing how it drives success for iGaming brands worldwide.

Giorgi Aleksidze, CEO at VeliTech, said: “Returning to SBC Lisbon for the second year running, we’re showcasing the depth of our battle-tested iGaming ecosystem in action. VeliGames is more than a content pipeline — it’s a complete growth engine for operators. And when combined with our other products, operators get everything they need to build, launch and scale a successful iGaming business.”

This year’s comeback to SBC Lisbon is marked by extra recognition, as the company is shortlisted in two SBC Awards 2025 categories: Multi-channel Supplier and Aggregator of the Year.

As part of the official agenda, Irakli Kakhidze, Director of Turnkey at VeliTech, will join the panel discussion “A Continent on the Move: Sportsbook Technology in Africa” on 16 September (13:40–14:20, Stage 2: Emerging Markets, Africa).

The session will explore opportunities, infrastructure challenges and the innovation shaping Africa’s sportsbook sector, drawing on the VeliTech experience supporting operators as they expand into new markets.

“Sports betting in Africa follows its own path, driven by cultural fit and player behaviour. Success here requires agility and deep local understanding, not one-size-fits-all solutions,” added Irakli Kakhidze, Director of Turnkey at VeliTech.
