Fantasma Games logs 396% increase in net sales in Q2
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.”

Max is back in Unusual Suspects Ultra Link&Win ™
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Max Spinwell returns in Unusual Suspects Ultra Link & Win, the latest instalment in Northern Lights Gaming’s blockbuster slot franchise.
This time, players find themselves in a sprawling metropolis where every alleyway hides secrets and each skyscraper looms over a world of crime and justice.
Once again, hero Max Spinwell takes the detective role, navigating the mean streets, and the unusual suspects he encounters along the way, to uncover the game’s biggest wins.
The reels are framed by a dynamic landscape, with towering buildings and darkened streets filled with danger and opportunity.
Symbols bring the theme to life with iconic underworld images such as briefcases overflowing with cash, handcuffs and dynamite.
The gameplay is just as fierce, with bonus features including:
- Ultra Link&Win
- Max Mode
- High Speed Pursuit
- Scatter Symbol Wins
- Free Spins
- Buy the Bonus
The action really hots up during the Free Spins and Link&Win feature.
Landing three Free Spins symbols trigger ten Free Games, which play out with giant 3×3 symbols, retriggers and Ultra Link&Win, which can be retriggered from the Free Spins, too.
Ultra Link&Win begins with four locked rows and three unlocked rows. Three Respins are awarded during which landing additional Link&Win symbols unlocks more rows.
Respins reset to three whenever a new Link&Win symbol lands in view – a full reel set awards the Grand Jackpot.
Players also have the option of activating Max Mode, which increases the amount of Link&Win symbols that appear on the reels.
Then there’s High Speed Pursuit, which is triggered at random during the base game. Once activated, the bonus will either award Wilds, Scatters or Link&Win symbols.
Unusual Suspects Ultra Link & Win is a high volatility slot with 25 paylines and a 96.13% return to player, but with different RTP options available upon request.
It’s the latest title in the studio’s hugely popular Unusual Suspects series, with other titles including Unusual Suspects Legends of Olympus and Wanted Unusual Suspects.
Chris Loftus, CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Max is back and this time he’s looking to defeat the baddest of crime bosses while unlocking big wins for players.
“The game is based around our proprietary Link&Win bonus, which sees players unlock rows to expand the reel set and boost their chance of hitting massive wins.
“This, combined with other bonuses like Free Spins, High Speed Pursuit and Max Mode takes players to the heart of the city where crime runs rampant but with Detective Spinwell on the case, they can take back control and unlock plenty of big wins along the way.”
