FBM® is gearing up for another impactful participation at the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association Conference & Tradeshow (OIGA), taking place from July 14 to 16 at the OKC Convention Center in Oklahoma City. This year, FBM will join Delta Gaming Solutions at Booth 918, presenting four standout slot products that represent the latest chapter in its expansion in the US gaming market.

FBM’s presence at OIGA 2025 comes at a strategic time, following a series of key accomplishments in the past 12 months. The company has deepened its market penetration by installing games in several new casinos across the country. The rollout of a broader catalog of titles reflects the operators’ growing confidence in FBM’s value proposition.

At this year’s OIGA expo, FBM will exhibit four titles that speak directly to enhancing player engagement and operator’s performance:

  • Ji Hǎo Link™ game series includes four titles: Golden Lóng™, Fortunate Héping™, Eternal Fènghuáng™ and Great Weiyan™. The powerful dragon, the wise turtle, the eternal phoenix, and the brave white tiger promise to deliver thrilling gaming sessions in a mechanic where the common bonus triggered by the Jí Hǎo Link™ pagoda takes the spotlight.
  • Jí Hǎo Link™ Spirits is the perfect choice for players seeking thrilling, long-lasting, and entertaining gaming sessions. The unpredictability of the Spirits feature, which can reward players with free “flights” and big wins during the main game or free spins, builds excitement around the Golden Lóng™ Spirits and Eternal Fènghuáng™ Spirits titles.
  • Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees™ brings excitement, suspense, and adrenaline to any casino floor with game mechanics based on the Prosperity, Strength, and Fortune accumulators. The Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees bonus can offer up to seven different game experiences and is the gateway to collect the four available jackpots present on this slot theme.
  • Croc’s Lock™ is a 30-line slot with an exciting storyline and compelling features. Super Croc is this gaming experience’s hero working with 15 independent reels, where the Extra Coins and Extra Spins accumulators lead player through an entertaining journey.

OIGA is one of the most important tradeshows in the North American gaming calendar, and FBM views the 2025 edition as the ideal platform to strengthen partnerships and expand operator relationships in this key market. Mike Medlin, FBM’s General Manager of Sales & Operations, together with Emily Snow, Delta Gaming Solutions sales director, will welcome and engage directly with all tribal operators, agents, and industry stakeholders trying FBM’s slots and seeking competitive, high-performing gaming solutions.

This momentum underlines the brand’s ongoing mission to deliver top-tier gaming experiences to U.S. players, especially within the tribal sector.
