Fortune Coins Casino Joins Forces with Fantasma Games

Fortune Coins Casino, owned by Blazesoft Ltd., announced a strategic partnership with Sweden’s leading casino content provider Fantasma Games to bring its players brand new titles and boost both parties’ influence across the North American social casino sector.
FortuneCoins.com, the top social casino with sweepstakes elements in the US and Canada, has grown massively since its inception, garnering over two million registered players. The secret sauce to its success is the wide collection of games by leading gaming providers around the globe, customer-centric approach, and generous rewards. Unsurprisingly, these features have served as a magnet for avid players of casino-style games.
This Stockholm-based game provider prides itself on standing out from the crowd in the oversaturated iGaming market. Fantasma’s “slots beyond gambling” have already found a home on over 200 prestigious operators, and more than 1000 gaming sites, and now they will also become available to Fortune Coins’ players. Fantasma’s graphics and themes are equally impressive as they feature diverse storylines from ancient Volatile Egypt to the adventure-packed Goat Rush and many others. The games come in various shapes and forms, including 5×3 and 6×4 reel-to-row combinations, and are designed with a mobile-first approach.
Fortune Coins players can look forward to a collection of 27 unique slot titles by Fantasma Games, each reflecting the team’s experience, expertise, and knowledge. These slots boast plenty of special features like multipliers, wilds, free spins, expanding reels, progression meters — you name it, Fantasma slots have it.
“We have great admiration for the accomplishments of Fantasma Games, and we believe that combining our respective strengths and expertise can lead to fruitful outcomes. As one of our key partners, we hope Fantasma’s unique slot collection will raise the stakes for our avid slot fans,” said Mickey Blayvas, CEO at Blazesoft Ltd.
“We are thrilled to launch our games with Fortune Coins, one of the leading operators within the social casino space. Our games draw inspiration from the traditional gaming industry to increase player engagement, and we are excited to offer our top-performing games to Fortune Coins,” said Fredrik Johansson, CEO and Founder of Fantasma Games.
Fortune Coins has also recently partnered with market leaders like Relax Gaming, Booming Games, EvoPlay, KA Gaming, Let Us Entertain You Inc., Mascot Gaming, and many other gaming providers to expand its gaming library with hundreds of new high-quality titles.

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
