In a strategic initiative aimed at expanding its influence in regulated African markets, SYNOT Games, a leading developer of online casino games, has announced a partnership with Aardvark Technologies, one solution provider for online and retail iGaming. This collaboration positions Aardvark as a primary aggregation partner for SYNOT Games, enhancing the company’s footprint in rapidly evolving markets across the African continent.

The partnership builds upon an already successful history between the two companies, which has enabled SYNOT Games to establish a foothold in African markets. With this formalised integration, the two sides will combine forces to navigate the continent’s complex regulatory landscape, leveraging Aardvark’s operational acumen and advanced omnichannel platform to drive distribution and growth.

“Our collaboration with Aardvark Technologies marks a pivotal step in SYNOT Games’ long-term strategy to become a leading force in regulated African markets,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.

“Aardvark effortlessly connects mobile, web, and retail channels, and their deep understanding of the varying legislation across different areas truly makes them a fantastic partner. Here at SYNOT Games, we’re dedicated to providing transparent, compliant, and player-focused content in every market we enter,” she added.

Aardvark Technologies, headquartered in Lithuania, has emerged as a key SaaS provider for gaming operators, known for its scalable transaction engine and intuitive management systems. The company’s technology stack empowers operators to manage multi-channel gaming operations with precision and agility. These capabilities are crucial for success in diverse regulatory environments such as those found across Africa.

“We are pleased to formalize our collaboration with SYNOT Games,” said Arijus Denisovas, spokesperson for Aardvark Technologies.

“SYNOT’s impressive portfolio, combined with its strong commitment to regulated markets, aligns with our mission of providing top-notch gaming content via secure, trusted, and locally tailored infrastructure. Together, we’re raising the bar for responsible gaming in Africa.”

The African iGaming sector, though highly fragmented, is widely regarded as one of the most promising emerging regions globally, driven by mobile-first consumer behaviour, rising internet penetration and evolving legislative frameworks. By uniting SYNOT Games’ growing library of certified titles with Aardvark’s aggregation and compliance tools, the partnership is poised to unlock new levels of accessibility and engagement for operators and players alike.

Gentle Fox Hold and Win continues 1spin4win’s four-part Japanese-themed slot series, following Tiger’s Steps Hold and Win, April’s most-played slot by bet count.

While its official release date is May 29, Gentle Fox Hold and Win was selected for exclusive pre-release by leading casino platforms, including Irwin, Gizbo, Jet, Izzi, Fresh, and others — a clear sign that operators are actively seeking content that combines originality with commercial impact.

Being the second title in the series, the game invites players to uncover the story of Tomoko-hama — the dangerously charming geisha known as the Gentle Fox — whose wit, beauty, and cunning hide a deeper motive.

Set in the shadow of Mount Fuji, Gentle Fox Hold and Win picks up the narrative thread that began in the first game of the series, drawing players further into a carefully crafted storyline. Years after being taken from her village and brought to the shogun’s castle, Tomoko-hama now tests the will and bravery of those who enter her tea house.

The core challenge of the game is the Hold and Win feature, triggered by landing three or more golden Coins. Players must then fill the Bonus reels with more Coins for the chance to win big, including the x100 Minipot Coin and the elusive x1,000 Megapot.

Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, commented, “The second slot in our Japanese-themed series keeps the rich atmosphere of the first but adds a deeper, more intriguing layer. Designed in warm tones, the game gently draws you into a world where calm hides a silent secret.”

Despite the narrative depth, the gameplay remains easy to understand with medium volatility and 97.1% RTP, which is in line with 1spin4win’s signature approach to slot design: simple mechanics, high engagement, and intuitive play for all levels of players.

As this new chapter opens, players move one step closer to the final clash that awaits in the series’ concluding release. Until then, all eyes are on Tomoko-hama — the Gentle Fox — and the secrets she’s yet to reveal.
