Gaming Corps Expands into Slovakia with Plinko Launch
Sweden-based game development company Gaming Corps has taken a significant step forward in its expansion into Central and Eastern Europe by launching its services in Slovakia. This move is facilitated through a strategic partnership with Fortuna Entertainment Group, marking Gaming Corps' entry into the Slovak market. Notably, this collaboration also introduces the first certified Plinko game to players in Slovakia, showcasing Gaming Corps' commitment to bringing innovative gaming solutions to new regions.
Launch of Innovative Plinko Titles in Slovakia
Following the announcement of their partnership last year, Gaming Corps and Fortuna Entertainment Group have successfully rolled out ten games in Slovakia, with the introduction of two new-to-market Plinko titles being the standout feature of this launch. This initiative not only solidifies Fortuna's position as the first Slovak operator to offer Plinko but also highlights the global popularity of this gaming format. The inclusion of Plinko in their lineup is a clear demonstration of both companies' dedication to providing players with unique and cutting-edge content. Fortuna's focus on offering first-to-market experiences is evident in this move, and the collaboration with Gaming Corps is set to enhance its standing within Slovakia's iGaming sector.
Danielle Calafato, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, expressed her pride in this achievement, stating, "We’re incredibly proud to be live in Slovakia with Fortuna – a top-tier operator that shares our passion for innovation. Bringing the first certified Plinko game to the Slovak market is a real achievement, and it’s a clear reflection of our commitment to providing unique, next-generation content to regulated markets. This launch highlights not only the strength of our partnership with Fortuna, but also our shared ambition to lead, not follow, when it comes to content strategy."
Expanding Presence in Slovakia and Beyond
The Slovak iGaming market is experiencing promising growth, fueled by an increasing adoption rate of mobile gaming and projections that the gross gaming revenue will exceed €200 million annually by 2027. With Gaming Corps offering unique content and Fortuna's extensive reach, the companies are well-positioned to capitalize on this growth and enhance their presence in the region. Michael Foster, Group Head of Commercial Gaming Operations at Fortuna Entertainment Group, shared his excitement about this development, stating, "At Fortuna, we’re always striving to deliver fresh, first-to-market content that sets us apart, so we’re thrilled to be the first operator to introduce Plinko to players in Slovakia through our partnership with Gaming Corps. The early response from players has been extremely encouraging, and we see this as just the beginning. I’m looking forward to building on this momentum and exploring even more exclusive releases together."
In addition to their expansion in Slovakia, Gaming Corps has also made significant strides in North America. The company recently secured an agreement with ODDSworks Inc. to distribute its games across regulated markets in the United States, Canada, and Latin America via the BetGuard platform. This partnership not only opens up new markets such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, and Connecticut but also extends Gaming Corps' reach into Canada and Latin America, where it previously lacked distribution channels.
This collaboration is particularly promising for Gaming Corps' non-traditional games like Plinko, which have captured significant attention in the iGaming world. As the North American market continues to expand, the partnership with ODDSworks positions Gaming Corps to make a substantial impact in the region, meeting the growing demand for innovative gaming experiences.
Juha Kauppinen, CEO of Gaming Corps, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Everyone in iGaming knows the potential of the North American market, and it will be very exciting to work closely with market leaders like Larry and Steven DeMar. Through the ODDSworks platform, we reach our games to online casinos in the US-regulated markets, and can also distribute them to both Latin America and Canada. Since we know that there is a strong demand for our non-traditional games, this feels very exciting and we hope that the collaboration with ODDSworks will have a significant positive impact on our revenues in the long term."
With the support of ODDSworks' platform, Gaming Corps will streamline the integration of new games into online casinos across North America, providing an efficient way for operators to enhance their game offerings. Larry DeMar, Chairman of ODDSworks, commented on the partnership, stating, "There is enormous potential in the market, and we look forward to collaborating with innovative companies like Gaming Corps in the future. They have several unique game engines with the potential to capture a large share of the North American market, and we are honored that Gaming Corps has chosen ODDSworks for distribution in North America."
