Independent slots developer Thunderkick has signed a deal with operator NEO.bet, bringing its game portfolio to a wider pool of players in Ontario, Canada’s sole regulated iGaming market.
The agreement builds on Thunderkick’s entry into Ontario earlier this year, when the studio went live with operators PokerStars and LeoVegas. The NEO.bet partnership marks a further step in the supplier’s push to grow its footprint across North America during 2024.
Initial game line-up
The rollout will be tailored to NEO.bet’s platform and will launch with a selection of Thunderkick’s established titles, including Midas Golden Touch 2, Xterminate and Esqueleto Explosivo.
Thunderkick said the move reflects its broader strategy of diversifying its operator network and raising brand visibility in developing markets, with further content additions planned as part of its ongoing roadmap.
