GoSlotty and SlottyVegas operator Max Entertainment has powered up further by sealing a partnership with rapidly-expanding slots-manufacturer Fugaso, part of the GrooveGaming stable.

Fugaso (Future Gaming Solutions) is a developer of highly entertaining videoslots and technology for the online gambling industry. Fugaso, who recently celebrated their third anniversary by co-sponsoring Fire&Ice at ICE2020 in London together with GrooveGaming, were recently announced as a finalist in two AskGamblers Award categories which play to the company’s strengths, Best Slots and Best Software Provider, in what is considered the world’s most prestigious casino awards.

The road to success over the last 3 years for Fugaso has been one driven by innovative in-house technology that is driving growth for the company and manifested in proprietary breakthroughs such as their ‘Rich Free Spins’ feature, which allows operators and casinos to hand out free spins to players with a multiplier on them which provides excitement with the prospect of potentially highly generous payouts. No other games manufacturer is currently offering ‘Rich Free Spins’, a key differentiator in Fugaso’s bulging technology vault.

Backed by a qualified team of iGaming experts Fugaso started out in 2016 by setting ambitious targets and launched with a 15 games-a-year structure which they quickly surpassed and by the end of 2018 began consolidating the design and engineering end of the studio with breakthrough blockbuster TrumpIt Deluxe at the beginning of 2019 which was launched at ICE2019.

The rapidly expanding Fugaso portfolio of titles is available via aggregator GrooveGaming’s platform as well as from Soft Gamings, Soft Swiss, Digitain, EveryMatrix, BetConstruct , IGG, 1XBet, VideoSlots, Kind Billy and Parimatch, amongst many others. Releases last year included Trump It Deluxe, Wild Rodeo, Magic Spinners, Fugaso Airlines, Stoned Joker, Imhotep Manuscript, Book of Tattoo II and blockbuster Cleopatra’s Diary. This year Fugaso has already released Divine Carnival and Clash of Gods, while brand new slots Don Slottione, the much-anticipated gangster slots is due out imminently.

All Fugaso games are available in 12 languages and can be adapted for any additional language, every game is supported by all devices, currencies and cryptocurrencies. One of the promotional tools available from the manufacturer of slick-slots is the Fugaso Jackpot Series Games, covering nearly 40 titles. The popular progressive is attracting substantial interest with 6-figure jackpots providing players with a great opportunity of winning and operators a phenomenal promotional tool. Last week, the Midi Jackpot yielded €245,441 for a €30 bet.

The entire portfolios of over 70 Fugaso HTML5 games have been developed under the remote technical standards of the UK Gambling Commission as well as the Maltese Gaming Authority. Fugaso is planning to grow towards a much larger number of jurisdictions with many more certifications to expand their offerings further.

Max Entertainment launched in 2012 with a clear mission “to offer the best possible experience to players,” the brands striving to achieve further European and international growth following UK withdrawal earlier this year due to Brexit concerns.

Ion Minca, Head of Casino and Product at Max Entertainment, added: “We have always wanted to provide our players with the best experience and in Fugaso we have found a partner that builds slots that are intelligent, fun to play, a little bit tongue-in-cheek, and jam-packed with features that solidify player engagement and provide lots of entertainment. These are slots we are sure will help attract a lot of new players wherever we are in the world.”

Robert Metzger, Head of Business Development at Fugaso said: “While technologically advanced games are our specialty, it’s a factor that has seen Fugaso get a good reception in different jurisdictions. The gaming content that Fugaso develops for the online casino industry is fresh and exciting, we’re delighted that Max Entertainment has discovered what we can offer. A lot of work goes into that, and the team behind the creation of games at Fugaso ensures each game is unique and immersive, which is really about taking the industry into the future.”

Flexion Reports Revenue Increase of 9% for 2024

Flexion, the games marketing company, has announced that its revenue grew 9% to year-end December 2024. The growth is attributed to the Company’s success in the alternative app store market.

Since its IPO in 2018, the company has built a well-positioned games marketing business around the alternative stores and grown annual revenue 50-fold to almost US$100 million. Its game portfolio represents several billion US$ in gaming IP for alternative market partners like Samsung, Amazon, Huawei, OneStore and Xiaomi.

“With the Digital Markets Act (DMA) coming into force in Europe and recent legal actions in the US, mobile game developers have felt a new-found freedom to explore their market options. We’ve already moved beyond the era when Google and Apple controlled everything. Developers are looking for alternatives that offer better margins, and additional audiences and revenue. Partnering with Flexion opens up a range of market channels with very little up-front investment,” said Jens Lauritzson, CEO of Flexion.

Flexion currently distributes more than 30 high-profile titles on the alternative stores. Top-tier games in the Flexion portfolio make on average US$ 10 million a year based on Q4 2024 run rate. That’s income in addition to their Google and Apple revenue with a business model that adds little to their costs.

In Q4 2024, Flexion-serviced games were, on average, generating 9.3% through the alternative stores of the revenue they made on Google Play. This is a significant boost for Flexion’s partners without major costs or effort.

“If you scale for the size of the stores, the alternatives massively out-performed Google in Q4 for our games. This is exciting both for Flexion’s business and for the future of the games industry as a whole. We’re seeing the beginning of a sea change in games marketing,” Jens said.

“We’re seeing just the beginnings of a major shift in how top-tier developers address their markets. Using Flexion to access alternative stores is an easy first step into the post- Google and Apple world. Many developers are already looking at their options beyond that and Flexion will be right there with them providing the technology and expertise they need to maximise the potential of their games,” Jens added.
