In-demand developer has generated significant growth in the second quarter with total gaming revenue up 120% at BSEK 1.4

Fantasma Games, the developer of slots beyond gambling, has posted another set of incredibly strong financials, with gross gaming revenue increasing a massive 314% year on year during the second quarter.

Net sales for the group, which also includes subsidiary studio, Weiner Games, came in at MSEK 7.5, up a significant 396% year on year while gaming revenue hit MSEK 6.3 during the quarter, up 314% year on year. Fantasma accounted for MSEK 5.4 of turnover and Weiner Games MSEK 2.1.

A main driver of growth during the period was the increase in total gaming turnover, which jumped 120% YoY to MSEK 1,439 while gross gaming revenue leapt 269% to MSEK 84. A contributing factor to the higher gross gaming revenue compared to gaming turnover was achieving a margin of 5.9%.

These headline numbers allowed Fantasma Games to deliver EBITDA of MSEK 1.1 compared to a loss of MSEK 1 in the previous quarter and pushed the studio into profitability for the three-month period and also for the first half of the year where EBITDA came in at MSEK 0.6.

It has been a busy quarter for Fantasma Games, which saw founder Fredrik Johansson return to the role of CEO with the backing of the studio’s major shareholders who believe he is the best person to lead from the front and deliver the developer’s ambitious growth plans.

This includes taking on the US market, where it is now live with tier one operator BetMGM with popular slots Bounty Showdown and Wins of Nautilus Megaways now available to players in West Virginia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, with more state launches set for the second half of the year.

The studio has also strengthened its position in core markets such as Canada and Italy, as well as the UK where it has undertaken exclusive launches with tier one operators such as Flutter Entertainment and across its Paddy Power, Sky Bet, PokerStars and Betfair brands.

Fredrik Johansson, CEO of Fantasma Games, said: “What a quarter it has been for Fantasma Games. We have driven growth across all KPIs which is a testament to the popularity and performance of our games in regulated markets around the world.

“This growth has come from continuing to deliver slots that take the experience to the next level, but also through entering new markets and signing exclusivity agreements with power players in our core jurisdictions.

“This is a fantastic start to a year that has great potential, and I and the rest of the team look forward to an equally successful six months ahead.”

Glory & Honour Await the Strongest Gladiators in ELA Games’ Newest Game, Roman Fortune

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

All reels lead to Rome in ELA Games’ newest atmospheric and bold slot.

ELA Games creates an immersive adventure in its latest title, Roman Fortune. Players battle for glory and honour in the heart of ancient Rome, where every spin carries the might of an empire.

Roman Fortune takes place in a roaring Colosseum under Caesar’s watchful eye, where fortunes wait for the victors. Designed with ELA Games’ signature visual richness and refined gameplay, this new title balances entertaining gaming experiences with operator-focused value, building on previous successes, such as Piñatas Festival.

Caesar’s Riches: Features that Favour the Brave

Roman Fortune offers several features that build excitement and depth for the player, ensuring action on every spin.

  • Scatter Symbols: Collect Scatters to earn Free Spins — the more you collect, the greater the prize.
  • Caesar Wilds: At any moment, a Caesar Wild may appear to spread wealth across the reels or even trigger the Hold & Win Bonus.
  • Hold & Win Bonus: In this feature, players encounter Red, Blue, and Green Coins, each with their own imperial strengths. Red Coins multiply prizes, Blue Coins unlock Jackpots, and Green Coins collect all visible values for greater wins.

Gladiators can activate all of these features at once, where glory and honour will rain down on the victor.

An Experience Built for Impact

Just like the actual intense clashes that occurred in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, Roman Fortune is crafted for players who enjoy an atmospheric experience with excitement, tension, and memorable moments.

The game’s 95.99% RTP and high volatility ensure that even the base game has plenty of action. Roman Fortune embodies ELA Games’ game creation philosophy, where creativity and strategic development work together to deliver a product that delivers sustained engagement and strong performance for its partners

Marharyta Yerina, Managing Director of ELA Games, commented on the release, “Roman Fortune is a visually forward title that captivates players’ imaginations with thrilling battles in an ancient arena. Every detail exists to create a world players can step into and instantly feel connected to. The game’s bold theme, supported by strategic mechanics and layers of atmosphere, shows what our team does best: creating experiences players enjoy while providing value for our partners.”

Enter the Arena For Eternal Glory

Step into the Colosseum and fight for your place in history.

GR8 Tech Expands Virtual Sports Portfolio with New Basketball Offering, Deepens Localization Strategy

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

GR8 Tech has expanded the virtual sports lineup within its ULTIM8 Sportsbook with a new range of virtual basketball, continuing a year of investment in the category that has already seen the addition of virtual horse racing and virtual cricket roulette—a unique format blending casino mechanics with the sport of cricket.

The expansion builds on GR8 Tech’s established strength in cricket, where the company developed one of the industry’s most comprehensive betting lines. Virtual cricket was designed to fill gaps between real-world tournaments, giving operators a way to maintain player engagement year-round—a model now being applied to basketball for markets where the sport dominates.

This content independence stems directly from GR8 Tech’s in-house trading capabilities.

One of the things that GR8 Tech stands out for is the quality of the trading and the fact that we perform extremely well in very difficult environments, like Asia,” said Dinos Doxiadis, Head of Sportsbook Business at GR8 Tech. “Even our clients’ players in these challenging markets don’t behave like typical players in ‘easier’ regions such as Latin America, we still manage to achieve some of the highest margins there.

That trading foundation enables GR8 Tech to build and localize content for specific markets rather than relying solely on third-party providers.

We already have a very strong sportsbook, and now we’re scaling our processes and output capabilities to take it even further,” Doxiadis explains. “We’re improving the product and creating the conditions to localize very quickly and offer a truly localized experience across the world.

GR8 Tech is also investing in infrastructure to give operators greater control over how they deploy this content.

The goal is to put even more power into the hands of our operators so they can tailor the product exactly as they want. As we move forward with new data and content agreements, they’ll gain an even greater ability to adapt the sportsbook to their specific needs—on top of what they can already do today.

Personalization is central to that roadmap. “We have delivered quite a few recommendation models, and right now we can serve custom content on a user level, and we will continue working in this direction,” said Doxiadis. “We have a very good infrastructure and baseline to invest in.
