UK-based casino game developer Gaming Realms has partnered with gaming giant Pragmatic Play. What does this deal mean? Well, Gaming Realms will now create new Slingo branded games on the Pragmatic Play IP. This will also include Slingo versions of the well-known Pragmatic Play games Wolf Gold and Sweet Bonanza. Wolf Gold is a 3x5 video slot with three jackpots available for those big win opportunities. Sweet Bonanza is another video slot game with a 6x5 slot layout and reels full of candy. It’s an exciting time for Pragmatic Play fans.
Gaming Realms pride itself on building casino games that are available to play on all devices. Founded back in 2001, the company builds games for use on desktop, tablet, and mobile under its well-known ‘Slingo™’ brand name. Gaming Realms builds Slingo games to incorporate social games and real-money mechanics with famous brands. The company also prides itself on the production of engaging and original slots and casino games for users.
Gaming Realm’s partner lineup includes some big players in the gaming industry such as EA, 888 Casino, and BetVictor to name a few. Its current Slingo lineup includes versions of iconic games such as Britain's Got Talent, Monopoly, and X-Factor.
Gaming Realms PLC is listed on the London Stock Exchange. The announcement of the deal between the two companies resulted in the shares trading 0.45% higher. This meant that the price was 44.70p per share on the day of the news we knew the two companies were going into partnership.
The executive chairman of Gaming Realms, Michael Buckley, is looking to make the most of both sides of the deal. Pragmatic Play is a big player and there will be cross-selling benefits available to both companies. Buckley sees the deal as a perfect fit that combines Pragmatic's innovative thinking and Gaming Realm's popular Slingo design.
Pragmatic Play was founded in 2015 and has won many awards for its games and software. Best Slots Provider (2020) and Best iGaming Software Supplier (2020) are two standout mentions. It’s no wonder the two companies are pleased to have partnered up. Pragmatic Play offers a robust lineup of services including slots, live casino, bingo, and much more. The production of Sweet Bonanza and Wolf Gold onto the Slingo platform will give the games access to some of the biggest online gaming sites in the world.
Yossi Barzely, who is the chief business development officer at Pragmatic Play, was clearly excited about the deal. Memorable experiences are at the core of Pragmatic Play and Gaming Realms is a studio that shares that design mentality. It’s a partnership that each studio will benefit from and this would have been the driving factor to get the deal over the line.
There is a lot of potential here and both studios are keen to see where this partnership can take them in the future. Multiple awards, innovative thinking, and high-profile partners are a powerful combination. It means you will no doubt see these new Slingo games in many of the top casinos very soon.
