As a leading gaming supplier, Microgaming is always expanding its wide web of strategic partnerships. The recently announced distribution agreement with Neko Games will enrich the brand’s portfolio with some exclusive releases. They will bring the Latin flare since the up-and-coming game design and development Argentinian studio is specialized in producing content with such twist.

Microgaming’s game catalog already features one of the most massive catalogs industry-wide, thanks to the many cooperation deals with independent studios and content partners. Now Neko is joining this selected group while its first release Super Showball bingo game will be available to the slot king’s content aggregation platform from May 26th, 2020.

Commercial Director at Microgaming, Leon Thomas, commented about the latest addition:

Video bingo games are particularly popular in LATAM, and the team at Neko Games have done a tremendous job with their debut title, Super Showball. We are pleased to welcome the studio to our content aggregation platform and look forward to working with them on further diversifying our portfolio for Microgaming customers worldwide.”

Bingo Games with A Unique Twist

The studio situated in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is also associated with...

...Velo Partners, a UK Venture Capital Firm with rich experience in the iGaming industry, as well as with RNG Foundry. Still, striking a deal with such esteemed provider like Microgaming is a milestone for the brand.

As one of its main missions, Neko focuses on delivering exciting video bingo releases with thrilling gameplay that elevates simple mechanics to a completely new level of playing experience.
Therefore, its first release is inspired by the traditional Showball bingo game but comes with a twist.

Super Showball features a Brazilian-style 90-ball video bingo game. It combines iconic video bingo game elements with new and original game mechanics. With a medium-to-high volatility action in a mobile-friendly format, the title also comes with a mystery prize feature and a potential jackpot prize of 4,000x!

Punters can also expect mid-volatility Pachinko, with a generous collection of features, in addition to high variance Fu88 with Wild Balls, Bonus, and Jackpots. While the first one caters to the skillset of recreational punters, the other is aimed at more experienced users.
