Latest agreement expands provider’s footprint in key market

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has partnered with Italian operator Domusbet, extending its reach in the established European market.

The partnership, which will provide Domusbet with access to a selection of Thunderkick’s most popular titles, marks the latest step in the Swedish studio’s commercial strategy in Italy.

Thunderkick committed to market penetration with the appointment of its dedicated native Italian account manager, and has since targeted significant expansion in the jurisdiction through deals with CasinoMania and Netwin.

As one of Italy’s premium casino brands, Domusbet has consistently upgraded its portfolio to appeal to a broad audience, and the integration of Thunderkick’s content will elevate its offering further.

Among the games set to launch with the operator are slots from the Esqueleto Explosivo, Midas Golden Touch and Pink Elephants series, which have gained widespread recognition for their creative artwork and entertaining gameplay.

Andrea Brioschi, Key Account Manager at Thunderkick, said: “Thunderkick has made real strides in the Italian market over the past 12 months, collaborating with some of the nation’s most prominent and respected operators to amplify our audience reach.

“The partnership with Domusbet further highlights our targeted approach in the market, where our games have already proven a resounding success.”

Salvatore Grippaldi, Casino Manager at Domusbet, added: “Thunderkick is quickly establishing itself as one of the leading suppliers to the Italian iGaming market, with its portfolio resonating with the country’s players.

“Domusbet consistently strives to diversify its offering with class-leading content, and the addition of Thunderkick’s games will ensure we continue to deliver players the optimal gaming experience with a broad array of interactive and immersive titles.”

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming’s latest slot takes player favourite mechanics and blends them with a slot staple theme in its latest release, 10 Pharaohs.

Inspired by the previous hit 10 Swords, this new adventure through the tombs of Ancient Egypt delivers a crypt full of established mechanics with a fresh twist to blow the cobwebs off the treasures hiding beneath the sands.

Players must brave the Pharaoh’s resting place and uncover untold riches via the beloved scatter pays mechanic. The excitement is elevated with the introduction of jackpot symbols that behave like regular versions but also award an instant prize, giving players more to aim for while ramping up the engagement.

10 Pharaohs’ main differentiator is its captivating bonus game. Players embark on a progressive journey through different levels, with each advancement expanding the reel set. As the reels grow, so do the chances of landing more pharaoh symbols, amplifying the anticipation and the potential rewards.

Push Gaming’s proprietary Push-Up feature puts the golden seal on proceedings, too. Players can strategically expand the reel set during the base game for an additional cost, significantly increasing their odds of landing both pharaoh and scarab symbols. The feature also guarantees that the free spins commence with unlocked reels, injecting an extra layer of gameplay thrill.

Monika Łukowska, Game Producer at Push Gaming, said: “Players spoke, and we listened – the much-loved scatter pays is back in 10 Pharaohs, but we’ve raised the game with instant rewards.

“We’ve also taken free spins a step further and added Push Up™ and expanding reels into the mix to get the most out of the action in an Egyptian expedition of a lifetime!”
