Fantasma Games, the studio that produces slots beyond gambling, has rolled out Xpand, a powerful Remote Game Server (RGS) to strengthen its relationship with operators and to drive forward with its ambitious growth plans.

The Fantasma Xpand provides the studio with many benefits, including continued operational excellence and deepening support for its operator partners in scaling their content offerings around the studio’s premium games and products.

It also allows the studio to take its product roadmap and game production to the next level facilitating even more innovation by making it easier to bring new concepts, mechanics and gameplay to the market while speeding up time to market for new and existing partners.

The platform already comes with easy-to-use gamification tools and enables operators to quickly set up and manage player engagement activities such as prize drops, tournaments, missions and more.

Operators can take advantage of a standard API for integration, allowing Fantasma to strike and deploy new partnerships at scale and at speed.

Fantasma’s entire game portfolio is available via Xpand. This includes legacy titles such as Flower Fortune Megaways and its most recent releases like Shadow Summoner Elementals.

The launch of Fantasma Xpand is the next logical step in the studio’s development. It’s already built a reputation for producing thrilling content, often based on compelling narratives and with smart mechanics, to provide a unique player experience.

Armed with its RGS, Fantasma is now eyeing expansion into emerging markets such as Latin America and Africa having firmly established itself in Europe and the US.

Fredrik Johansson, Founder and CEO of Fantasma Games, said: “This is a milestone moment for Fantasma Games, allowing us to form stronger operator partners while also giving us greater control over our development and distribution.

“We have incredibly ambitious growth plans, both in terms of our product roadmap and increasing our roster of operator partners in core markets across the world, and we will only be able to achieve this with our own RGS.

“Ultimately, it will allow us to develop better games and deliver these games to more operators in more markets than ever before via a smooth, seamless, direct integration.”
