GameSquare Announces Strategic Partnership with Rekt Brands Inc.

Published

GameSquare Holdings Inc., a next-generation media, entertainment, technology, and onchain treasury company, announced a new $2 million agency of record partnership with Rekt Brands Inc., the parent company behind Rekt Drinks, a beverage brand rapidly emerging as a cultural force in Web3, which is on course to sell over 1 million cans within its first 12 months of operations. This marks the second agency of record win for GameSquare in August 2025, bringing the total new Web3 revenue to $6.25 million and reinforcing the Company’s position as a growth engine for crypto-native brands. The partnership builds on the momentum of GameSquare’s Ethereum treasury strategy, which has positioned the Company among the top public ETH holders and cemented its role as a bridge between traditional capital markets and on-chain finance, tapping the cultural engines of gaming and media to drive durable growth.

“We are excited to announce our latest agency of record deal with Rekt. Since launching our onchain strategy in July 2025, we have quickly established a strong and growing pipeline of crypto-native organizations seeking partners with proven capabilities to help them reach and engage audiences at scale. GameSquare’s established operating platform positions us uniquely to meet this demand and we are excited to add Rekt Drinks and $REKT to our growing roster of Web3 partners and treasury assets,” said Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare.

Working with Rekt, a crypto-native consumer brand company at the forefront of culture, creativity, and community, GameSquare will collaborate on both physical and digital products, and experiences targeting gaming and crypto-native fans. GameSquare will also provide strategic guidance to Rekt to grow awareness for its currency, create new products, and merge the best of Rekt with immersive gaming worlds. Rekt will also gain brand placement on FaZe Esports’ iconic jerseys, extending visibility across one of the largest youth culture and gaming platforms in the world.

“Rekt was never about just launching a drink, it’s about building a movement. With GameSquare, we’re taking that movement global. Their dominance in gaming and youth culture makes them the ideal partner to accelerate our engagement loop, where community isn’t just about being a consumer, it is the foundation of brand ownership. This is an opportunity to merge internet culture, Web3 mechanics, and new-age finance into something far bigger than just drinks,” said Ovie Faruq, CEO and co-founder of Rekt Drinks.

$REKT Coin has a current fully diluted value of over $360 million according to CoinMarketCap.com, and is focused on developing and incentivizing several different verticals spanning art, culture, media, NFTs, and physical goods.

Rekt is born from the Rektguy NFT collection—a cult-favorite digital art project with a passionate, crypto-native community and high-profile holders including Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Bassjackers, and Gary Vaynerchuk. Paired with $REKT Coin, a brand-focused cryptocurrency earned through product purchases and community engagement, these digital assets fuel a closed-loop ecosystem where customers become stakeholders in brand sentiment.

Seed Wealth and unleash Power with FBM®’s Xing Fú Fortune™ Money Trees multi-game in Mexico!

Published

on

 

Xing Fú Fortune™ Money Trees is now available with a multi-game configuration! Power and Wealth are the two themes of this product joining FBM®’s slot games portfolio. Mexican players can now enjoy seven exciting gaming dynamics with varying bet levels and experience the thrills of a common bonus based on the Prosperity, Strength, and Fortune money trees, along with four jackpots to conquer.

The impressive performance of the Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees slot game in its early months captured the attention and curiosity of Mexican slot enthusiasts, leaving them eager for more. Responding to market demand, FBM developed an extension of this product featuring a multi-game configuration. Players can now experience the mechanics of the Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees game through two distinct themes: Wealth, with bets of 58 credits, and Power, with game rounds of 88 credits.

This step allows FBM to cover a wider audience of players, offering them the chance to live the unique gaming experience delivered by Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees with different bet levels. The Wealth and Power themes keep the feature set and unpredictability behind the high levels of player engagement and retention registered by the single-game version, adding new graphic elements and betting options to the casino operators’ customers.

Three Money Trees are the foundation for this entertaining FBM slot game

The Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees Power and Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees Wealth share a link bonus with three accumulators, which can start with a blue, red, or green coin obtained on any game round.

The Prosperity, Fortune and Strength money trees can unlock the bonus independently or in combination, offering up to seven distinct game experiences. Now let’s recap the rewarding effect of each one of these features:

  • Prosperity – the coins of Prosperity are blue, and attribute a random prize for players to collect when they appear on the reels.
  • Strength – the red coins symbolize Strength, and they multiply the values of all coins available on the reels to get a numeric prize value then.
  • Fortune – the Fortune coins are green, and have the collector effect. When they appear on the reels, they accumulate the value of all the other coins.

The link bonus is also the game mode that allows players to conquer four jackpots: Mini, Minor, Major or Grand.

A disruptive FBM slot game is now available in two configurations

Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees transports players into a universe inspired by Oriental culture and becomes available for casino operators to install and players to enjoy in both single-game and multi-game configurations.
Bonsais, dragons, frogs, carps, ema plaques, fans, white tigers, lanterns, lotus flowers, turtles and phoenixes are some of the typical symbols representing the Asian culture showcased in the Wealth and Power versions of the product. The carefully crafted sounds and graphics blend smoothly with these visual elements, creating an immersive and authentic connection between the player, the slot game and the Asian roots.

Available for the Galaxy II and Auria casino cabinets, Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees ensure a friendly integration on different casino floor layouts in both product configurations.
