Sportradar, the leading global sports technology company creating immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors, and Kambi, the leading global sports betting supplier, today announced a five-year extension to their wide-ranging betting partnership. The deal reestablishes Sportradar as Kambi’s exclusive supplier of NBA, NHL, MLB, and college sports data in the US market. Kambi, the leading platform provider to sportsbooks in the US, has been a Sportradar partner since sports betting became legal in the US in 2018.

Under the terms of the new deal, Sportradar will continue to provide Kambi its pre-match score data, which all Kambi’s US partners will use across sports. Sportradar will also supply Kambi with its live score data as well as its content solutions, including Live Match Trackers, for major US sports. Sportradar’s best-in-class content solutions are purpose-built to drive deeper fan engagement, in addition to customer acquisition and retention for operators. Combined, these products and services are essential for running and growing a successful sportsbook.

“Both Kambi and Sportradar were well-prepared when the US market opened in 2018, and we have worked together closely and diligently to establish our respective market leading positions,” said Neale Deeley, Managing Director, US Betting, Sportradar. “We are very pleased that Kambi has shown an unwavering commitment to Sportradar for the next five years and, most importantly, we are delighted to elevate our partnership to the next level for the benefit of our mutual customers.”

Kambi and Sportradar are each committed to maximizing technology to differentiate offerings, as well as upholding the highest integrity standards. These synergies between the two companies will continue to benefit Kambi’s partners, such as Churchill Downs Incorporated (TwinSpires), Penn National Gaming (Barstool Sportsbook) and Rush Street Interactive (BetRivers), in a highly competitive US sports betting landscape.

Jamie Mckittrick, Kambi’s Vice President of Commercial Operations, said: “We are delighted to have put pen to paper on this multi-year extension with Sportradar. Providing our partners and their customers with best-in-class sports betting experiences requires the integration of high-quality, rapid data, and this long-term agreement provides us with a fantastic platform upon which to continue delivering on our partners’ ambitions.”

FBM® adds a new hero to its slots collection with Hippo’s Lock™ launch in Mexico

FBM® adds a new hero to its slots collection with Hippo’s Lock™ launch in Mexico

 

Time to power up your spins and collect big wins with Hippo’s Lock™ in Mexico. The new slot adventure launched by FBM® has Super Hippo as a hero, delivering entertaining gaming sessions with the Lock Feature, the Power Spins and Extra Spins accumulators. The game is available to play on the Auria, Galaxy II and Shadow III casino cabinets and is set for a fast expansion in the Mexican gaming market.

Hippo’s Lock is the latest slot title developed by FBM and brings a new theme with a charismatic hero, equipped with gadgets and special powers which will attract and engage slot players in Mexico.

The 30-lines game works with 15 independent reels, and the main action happens around the central position with Super Hippo’s intervention. The purple hippo guides the game narrative, taking players on an exciting gaming journey with non-stop action, suspense, and compelling animations.

 

The “X” effect of Power Spins joins the lucrative Extra Spins

Every time Super Hippo lands on the central reel, he bites the lock symbols and creates the chance to open the bonus mode with Power Spins, Extra Spins or the two accumulators combined.

When the Hippo’s Lock bonus starts with one accumulator, players guarantee five free spins. This number increases to ten free rounds if Super Hippo triggers Power Spins and Extra Spins at the same time. Each one of the accumulators has a special power:

  • Extra Spins – Super Hippo uses its backpack to shoot lasers, increasing the number of free spins displayed in the counter.
  • Power Spins – Super Hippo multiplies all coins, bags, Mini and Minor jackpots by 2, 3 or 5, leading players to a significant prize.

Super Hippo remains in the central position during all bonus rounds, and the special powers of the accumulators activated may repeat several times until the bonus rounds are over.

 

A kit of jackpots and gadgets to achieve big wins!

The bonus ignited by the Lock feature concentrates Super Hippo’s main powers. However, the game character has more tricks and resources to captivate and involve players:

  • Jackpots – Hippo’s Lock offers access to four jackpot levels – Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand – through the vault symbol, which may appear on the reels during the main game or bonus rounds.
  • Rewind – What if a gadget could change the symbols on the reels and lead players to bigger wins? That is the magic of the Rewind Feature activated by Super Hippo using its bracelet.
  • Luck Has Arrived – Super Hippo announces a special flight on the screen with a message and takes off anticipating a lucrative game round for the player.

 

A slot game compatible with several casino cabinets and layouts!

Hippo’s Lock combines a fascinating game mechanic with an appealing feature set exhibited by an intriguing character through cutting-edge graphics, animations, and sound effects. This blend captures the interest of first-time players, delivering enjoyable gaming sessions that encourage them to return for more.

Hippo’s Lock reinforces the Lock product line FBM debuted this year with the Croc’s Lock theme launch. This new game title introduces a new hero, a new accumulator, and new thrills to the gaming sessions delivered by the global gaming brand’s slots portfolio.

Available on the Galaxy II, Auria and Shadow III casino cabinets, Hippo’s Lock starts its expansion journey in Mexico and intends to surpass the high expectations of local slot fans with long-lasting gaming sessions filled with prizes and adrenaline. The following plans include a global expansion having the US as the next showcase market for this FBM casino game.
