Q&A with Steve Cutler, CEO & co-founder of Kalamba Games
Reading Time: 3 minutes
What makes you different to other providers/to what else is available?
Kalamba was founded in 2016 by myself and Alex Cohen, two industry experts with experience in both real money gambling and social casino. We identified a gap in the market for a supplier who brought the best of social casino to RMG along with a focus on introducing revenue drivers that help improve operators’ KPIs. Our game design strategy has always been driven by integrating engagement and retention features, as well as world-class promotional mechanics. Our games are proven to increase player engagement and retention by up to six times, as well as having a far slower game degradation and a much higher earning tail than the industry standard. We release one game a month and we now have a portfolio of over 16 high-performing titles.
How are you brining your social gaming experience into the business?
Alex and I between us have over six years’ experience in social gaming and casino and thus, we had a few tricks up our sleeves when we founded Kalamba. We knew what helps drive session length and long-term engagement. A lot of that involves offering features with saved progress and collection mechanics to encourage longer and multiple sessions. With ever-increasing competition, it is less about acquisition but more about retaining the player for a longer time. Our games help ensure this.
What exactly is Kalamba doing to increase player engagement and retention?
Our games have a number of unique and improved in-game features. Among other things these include progressive jackpots and our HyperBet and HyperBonus features, enabling players to adjust game volatility. We know they have different experiences of slots and by allowing the flexibility to set different game modes, you can attract different types of players and also ensure they stay for longer as their skills and comfortability levels increase. This way, the same game can appeal to beginners as well as VIPs. Newcomers with a lower taste for volatility won’t be put off while the game still remains interesting to those who desire higher volatility.
You recently hired a UX expert from the video games industry, could you tell us a bit about the reasoning behind this?
The first two years at Kalamba have been primarily focused on delivering games that get better and better with a highly competitive velocity of one game per month. Most importantly, we coupled this with a legacy-free framework that delivers for all markets and operator requirements. We are now, taking our games to the highest level by bringing on board a pair of highly experienced and talented game UX professionals. Graham McAllsiter joined us from Player Research, a company he founded to provide UX research and playtesting services to the video games industry worldwide, including major studios such as EA, Sony and NaturalMotion. He helped studios deliver successful games by applying scientific methods for objectively evaluating key assumptions about the way a game will be played and experienced. Working with the new Senior UX Product Lead, Andrzej Sekula, who joins at the same time from Huuuge and Vivid Games, he will now do the same for the games we develop at Kalamba and help shape the mindset of the company to create games that deliver the greatest user experience to the players. We are excited that we are now in a very good position to be a highly competitive company within the industry.
What can we expect from Kalamba in 2019?
We will expect to release more than 12 great games with our various engaging in-game features over the year. We received investment from venture capital funds Vereeni and RB Capital at the end of last year and this investment has given us the ability to speed up the time to some of our key business, games and platform goals. There are exciting times ahead

22Bet Partners, HellPartners and PlayamoPartners Present: Empire of Success at SiGMA Rome 2025
When SiGMA takes over Rome from November 3–6, the city becomes the epicenter of iGaming. But on November 4, all paths lead to one destination: Atlantico Live, where three powerhouse brands — 22Bet Partners, HellPartners, PlayamoPartners, and — will set the stage for the most unforgettable night of the conference: Empire of Success.
Headlining the night is Armin van Buuren — a five-time #1 DJ in the world whose sets have defined a generation of electronic music. For one night only, his festival-scale sound and light show will take over Atlantico Live, turning 3,000 affiliates into the biggest crowd SiGMA Rome has ever seen.
Not an Invite-Only. A Statement.
In an industry where parties are usually small, exclusive, and hidden behind velvet ropes, Empire of Success breaks the mold. Not by lowering the bar — but by raising the ceiling. By opening registration to all affiliates, the organizers are sending a bold message: every partner deserves a seat at the table — and a place on the dancefloor. Every detail reflects the strength of the hosts. 22Bet’s precise, global execution. HellPartners’ bold, no-limits approach. PlayAmo’s polished, premium feel. It’s not “another night out.” It’s a VIP-standard experience, scaled for thousands, powered by brands with the vision (and the muscle) to make it happen.
Atmosphere & Format
From 21:00 until 02:00, Atlantico Live will turn into a fusion of sound, lights, and community. Expect world-class production, multiple bars, and a crowd that feels less like an audience and more like a movement. A dedicated VIP zone, curated by the organizers, will host selected partners with its own private bar and light bites, offering space to connect, regroup, or recharge between sets.
Together, these three brands have turned what could have been another closed-door party into a gift from the industry to the industry — one that makes every affiliate feel like the main guest. And you definitely don’t want to miss this.

- 22Bet Partners is a multibrand affiliate program uniting 7 brands across casino, betting, and esports. Operating in 80+ GEOs, the program offers high-performing products, advanced analytics, and 24/7 support — making it a trusted and dynamic partner for affiliates worldwide.

TaDa Gaming Releases 3 Coin Golden OX
Reading Time: 2 minutes
TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of premium casino content, has released 3 Coin Golden OX, the newest addition to its popular TriLuck series. Featuring Lock & Respin mechanics, Free Games, the Jackpot Pick feature and stunning East Asian-inspired design, this release continues TaDa’s mastery in crafting culturally resonant slots with modern excitement.
Played on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, 3 Coin Golden OX merges elegant visual design with dynamic gameplay. The golden ox reigns over the reels as players chase multipliers, jackpot coins and powerful bonus rounds capable of delivering up to 1200x max win.
The heart of the game lies in its Fortune Pot system, where players collect Ta Ji Da Li Coins into red, green and blue pots above the reels. Each pot can trigger a different Free Game type such as Mighty Free Spins, Super Free Spins or Ultramate Free Spins, each with unique grid sizes, bonus coin behaviour, and jackpot opportunities. During Free Games, players start with three spins that reset whenever new coin symbols appear, keeping the tension high and rewards flowing.
Adding another layer of excitement, the Jackpot Pick Feature offers players a chance to reveal Fuwa symbols or Upgrade icons hidden behind gold coins. Revealing three identical Fuwa symbols awards one of four fixed jackpots, while Upgrade symbols can boost the prize to a higher tier. With fixed jackpot values up to 1000x the bet, 3 Coin Golden OX delivers thrilling win potential across every feature.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, commented: “3 Coin Golden OX continues the evolution of our TriLuck series with deeper bonus layers and stronger visual storytelling. The combination of Lock & Respin, progressive Free Games, and the Jackpot Pick feature gives players a sense of progression and excitement that builds with every spin.”
