Push Gaming redefines its portfolio, unveiling new game categories and sub-brand for extended player reach

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming is embarking on a major strategic expansion, introducing two new game categories and a new sub-brand to scale its operations and significantly diversify its game portfolio while maintaining its reputation for high-quality slot experiences. The move aims to attract a wider range of players and secure a substantial market share in key regions.

Known for its premium, quality approach to game design, Push Gaming is broadening its signature style to reach a larger audience while maintaining its commitment to excellence. The new strategy introduces two distinct game categories: Push Originals and Push Actions, which remain within the Push Gaming core brand alongside a new sub-studio, Reel Hot Games.

Push Originals will continue to represent signature Push Gaming titles, targeting slot enthusiasts with complex mechanics and high-volatility gameplay. This category offers thrilling slot experiences, continually pushing boundaries with innovative features and the potential for substantial wins.

Push Actions is an entirely new category aimed at casual players who enjoy fun and easily understandable games. These titles deliver fast-paced, high-energy gameplay with simple mechanics and popular themes. Recent releases, including 3 Magic Pots and 10 Flaming Bisons, have been examples of the provider flexing its creativity with games that are a slight departure from its previous styles, and these and forthcoming games of the same style now officially have a home.

Reel Hot Games is poised to bring its own unique identity to Push Gaming’s portfolio with a classic slots experience. This sub-brand caters to players who appreciate the nostalgia of land-based casino games, featuring iconic symbols and themes enhanced by modern mechanics. It is particularly targeted at markets where classic games are highly popular, such as the regulated US states, Romania, Greece, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and certain Latin American markets.

The successful March 2025 launch of Power Vault in the UK and Brazil was the first unofficial example of a Reel Hot Games release, while the first game to officially launch under this new direction will be Bamboo Ways under the Push Originals category. In addition to all new releases, previous Push Gaming titles will be recategorised accordingly.

George Fil, Director of Product Strategy at Push Gaming, said: “This is a pivotal moment for Push Gaming. Our new direction is a clear commitment to scaling at pace while staying true to the quality that has defined us thus far.

“By diversifying our portfolio with these new categories and sub-brand, we’re not just expanding our offerings, we’re creating ultimate gaming experiences leveraging our heritage in content standards for a broader audience and driving significant growth for our partners in key markets.

“We are laser-focused on pushing boundaries to deliver products that benefit everyone.”

Fast Track will unveil its new AI-driven natural language platform on 2 September during its annual Fast Track House event in Malta. The launch will also be streamed live online from 4 PM CEST, giving the iGaming industry an exclusive first look at the future of player engagement.

For the past decade, Fast Track has pioneered real-time data integration, the Singularity Model, the only Gameplay Risk Engine, and Rewards, the first AI-ready gamification system. Each innovation has moved the company closer to its vision: to digitalise the iGaming industry and deliver the first self-learning engagement platform.

Fast Track AI is trained on over 10 years of iGaming expertise and designed to transform how CRM teams work. It can perform technical analysis on terabytes of real-time data, deliver advanced insights into CRM performance and player behaviour, and uniquely take direct action on those insights across the platform.

“This isn’t just AI added to CRM. This is CRM re-engineered for the natural language era,” said Simon Lidzén, CEO and Co-Founder of Fast Track.

“Even your wildest imagination can only take you so far; minds have been bound by constraints for so long that it is hard to picture the full power of Fast Track AI. You simply need to see it to believe it. This is why I am organising a live session to unveil it; to showcase what a native iGaming CRM, built on the most comprehensive real-time data infrastructure together with the Singularity Model, is capable of. I urge the whole industry to sign up.” Lidzén added.

The big reveal will take place during the Fast Track House event in Malta and will be streamed live online. The broadcast begins at 4:00 PM CEST on 2 September.
