Fugaso take it to the max with Max Entertainment
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.”

I will especially miss our exceptionally strong team and the unique culture we have built together, characterised by innovation, customer focus and team spirit. I will continue to work hard until the end of my term to achieve the goals we have set together,” said Dr Becker.
Dr Becker informed the Supervisory Board of ZEAL Network SE about his decision at an early stage, and the Supervisory Board will immediately initiate a structured process for the succession of the CEO.

Gamblorium Enhances Casino Reviews with Updated Rating System

Gamblorium, a trusted online casino affiliate platform, announces its new and improved casino rating system. This updated system is designed to give players even more accurate and transparent rankings for online casinos. Since 2020, Gamblorium has been known for providing honest and expert-tested casino reviews. With this updated rating system, Gamblorium continues to ensure players can easily find the best gambling sites.
The new rating system combines three key components: Gamblorium Score, Player Score and Market Score. These scores are based on a 100-point scale, providing players with a clear and reliable way to choose casinos that meet their preferences.
Main features of Gamblorium’s new rating system:
• Gamblorium score: The Gamblorium Score evaluates casinos based on over 100 criteria, including payment methods, game options, security and user experience.
