Thunderkick expands in Italy with Casino Mania

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Independent slots studio Thunderkick has partnered with leading operator Casino Mania, making the developer’s games accessible to a new audience as it focuses on enhancing its presence in Italy.

Casin oMania – an operator under parent company Cristaltec Group – is a prominent brand in the country that offers sports betting and a full suite of online casino products, including Live Casino titles, table and card games, and slots from the industry’s most popular providers.

The symbiotic relationship will see the game creator’s exciting and innovative portfolio integrated into Casino Mania’s platform, driving customer engagement for the partner and increasing Thunderkick’s player base in the jurisdiction.

Among the games which will become available to CasinoMania players are the recent releases Midas Golden Touch 2, King of the Party, and Sword of Arthur, as well as fan-favorites Xterminate and Hot Potato!

Andrea Brioschi, Key Account Manager at Thunderkick, said: “While there has been a lot of focus on the Ontario and U.S. sweepstake launches, Thunderkick remains committed to fortifying its brand on the European iGaming scene.

“CasinoMania is a respected operator in Italy that has cultivated a catalogue of entertaining games from industry leaders. We are sure the addition of Thunderkick’s unique, cutting-edge titles will only strengthen this offering further.”
