EveryMatrix signs largest ever content aggregation deal with bet365

 

EveryMatrix has agreed its largest ever global casino aggregation deal supplying bet365 with both its own exclusive content and titles from more than 40 premium games providers.

SlotMatrix, part of the EveryMatrix Group, is the largest aggregation platform in the world with more than 37,000 games from 350+ global suppliers including the Group’s own, Armadillo and Fantasma Studios.

It will offer bet365 more than 40 vendors across multiple regulated markets including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and Mexico with further territories slated for future release.

The business unit was further bolstered in 2024 by the acquisition of Fantasma Games and, earlier this year, by a new management team focused on accelerating aggregation and content services expansion across both existing and new regulated markets.

This includes Mark Hothersall, Head of Business Development and Carl Gatt Baldacchino, Head of Account Management, both previously from Evolution Gaming.

They are responsible for driving forward the commercial success of SlotMatrix by accelerating the unit’s in-house games development, continually strengthening its third-party content offering and ensuring SlotMatrix provides exceptional customer service.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO & Co-Founder EveryMatrix, said: “Today is very significant for the Group highlighting both just how much of a â€must-have’ product SlotMatrix is for tier-1 brands across multiple markets and how far ahead it is compared to its rivals.

“We’re thrilled such a world-renowned brand such as bet365 has put their faith in us to drive their content strategy. SlotMatrix has truly come of age and, with an increased focus on ramping up our own games development and attracting even more premium vendors to the platform there really is no ceiling as to how far it can go.”

A bet365 spokesperson, added: “We are thrilled to partner with EveryMatrix. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our commitment to providing exceptional products to our customers.”

Games Global partners with Spin Gaming to launch Brazil’s first fully localised live casino offering

 

Global provider collaborates with major SĂŁo Paulo-based studio to enhance its operations with class-leading technology

Games Global, a leading supplier of online gaming content, has teamed up with Spin Gaming, a pioneering Brazilian start-up in the live casino sector, to establish the market’s first live dealer studio located and operated in the nation.

Operating since January 2025 from a state-of-the-art studio in SĂŁo Paulo, Spin Gaming has introduced a Tier A structure to the market, with dedicated studios and localised customer service built in full alignment with national regulations and designed to optimise the customer experience.

Fuelled by Games Global’s agile, cutting-edge technology, Spin Gaming, powered by OnAir, will deliver premium live game streaming and technical support to its partners. Supplementing its local execution with Games Global’s worldwide expertise positions the studio as a prominent new entertainment hub for Brazilian online casinos, with the venture primed for growth in the coming years.

While the deal signifies a key commercial and strategic move, it also marks the creation of the first Brazilian academy specialising in training live casino dealers, which is set to fuel the industry production chain by generating hundreds of jobs for natives.

This initiative represents a milestone for Brazil’s digital entertainment industry, as the country shifts from a consumer to a producer of immersive, secure, and legalised live betting experiences with a Brazilian identity and international reach.

Ricardo Regner, Director of LatAm at Games Global, said: “Brazil is a dynamic, ever-evolving market, and the importance of a local touch when it comes to operations in the country cannot be overstated.

“This landmark deal with Spin Gaming not only highlights Games Global’s unwavering commitment to delivering tailored solutions to local markets, but also highlights our drive to support iGaming infrastructure in emerging jurisdictions.”

Fred Ring, Co-Founder and CRO at Spin Gaming, said: “We are proud to present a solution made in Brazil, by Brazilians, to international standards. Our studio is a benchmark in Latin America, and our team was trained at the country’s first dealer and game presenter academy.

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.
