Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The crash game vertical is currently one of the most crowded in iGaming. For aggregators like Hub88, the challenge isn’t just adding more games, but adding different games. Solidicon’s debut of a “racing crash” mechanic with Quackinator offers operators a fresh twist on the standard “multiplier curve” format, potentially engaging a demographic looking for more visual excitement than the typical line-graph interface.

Hub88, the fast-growing aggregation platform, has announced a new content partnership with Solidicon, a Swedish game studio recognized for its visually distinct and artistic approach to casino game design.

This integration brings Solidicon’s full suite of titles onto Hub88’s seamless API, making them immediately available to a global network of operators.

A New Spin on Crash Games The headline addition to the platform is Quackinator, a title marketed as the “world’s first racing crash game.” As the crash genre continues to dominate player preferences in emerging markets, Solidicon is attempting to evolve the format by blending high-speed racing mechanics with the traditional risk-reward crash structure.

Alongside Quackinator, the deal includes other high-performing titles such as Navigator and Supershoot Crash, all of which are designed by Solidicon’s team—a group self-described as “a collective of nerds and dreamers” founded in 2006.

Management Commentary The partnership focuses on delivering “novel” experiences to players who are increasingly fatigued by standard slot mechanics.

Jess Inglott, Head of Supplier Relations at Hub88, emphasized the visual quality of the new additions:

“Solidicon’s games bring a bold, unforgettable touch to the casino experience. Adding their titles to our platform allows operators to offer visually striking, memorable content that stands out in a crowded market.”

For Solidicon, the deal represents a significant distribution upgrade. Robert Ackerman, CEO of Solidicon, noted:

“Partnering with Hub88 provides a practical way to broaden distribution of our games and simplify access for operators. Their platform is well regarded for its stability and ease of use, which makes this partnership a strong fit for us.”

Brazilian MMA fighter to promote the world’s number one crash game to his fan base worldwide as it soars past 66 million players per month 

SPRIBE, the studio behind Aviator, the world’s number one crash game, has landed yet another knockout partnership with UFC superstar Valter “The Clean Monster” Walker joining its roster of Aviator brand ambassadors.

The partnership forms part of SPRIBE’s multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing deal with the UFC under which it has a brand ambassador fund, allowing it to partner with individual UFC fighters such as The Clean Monster.

The 12 month partnership will see Valter promote Aviator to his fans in Brazil and beyond through a series of high profile campaigns and marketing stunts.

The Brazilian Mixed Martial Artist has an aggressive and entertaining fighting style which has seen him ride a four-fight win streak, each by heel hook submission. It’s also seen him build a large and loyal fanbase in his home country and internationally.

SPRIBE plans to tap into this as part of efforts to drive awareness of Aviator in Brazil and across Latin America.

Walker joins an impressive line-up of UFC Aviator brand ambassadors including the likes of Alexander Pantoja, Michael Page, Arman Tsarukyan, Diego Lopes, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.

These partnerships have helped Aviator become the number one crash game on the planet with 66 million players taking flight each month placing more than 400,000 bets per minute across 6,000+ online casino and sportsbook brands.

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “Our multi-year deal with the UFC and the brand ambassador fund we have access to has proved to be hugely effective at driving awareness of Aviator among UFC fans worldwide.

“This partnership with Valter “The Clean Monster” Walker builds on this and allows us to really tap into Brazil and Latin America, markets where Aviator has already proved to be a big hit.

“We’ve got some great campaigns with Valter in the works so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, strap in and take flight with the world’s number one crash game.”

Valter “The Clean Monster” Walker, UFC heavyweight fighter and Aviator brand ambassador, added: “Aviator is one of the most thrilling games I’ve ever played and I’m thrilled to be promoting it to my fans in Brazil and beyond.

“Aviator is fast paced and where high risk can lead to high reward. You strap in, take flight and hold tights as the win multiplier continues to rise. When you decide to cash out is up to you – go too soon and the win is small, but wait too long and you risk losing it all.

“I’m really honored to be working with Aviator and SPRIBE on some truly knock-out campaigns, so watch this space.”

Belatra, a leading developer of innovative online slots, has set its sights on the crash game market with the launch of its hit new game, Goose Boom Bang.

Following 30 successful years of creating outstanding slot and instant games, Belatra has turned its sights on the crash game market. Goose Boom Bang stars a fearless goose whose explosive personality takes the game to new heights. As soon as the goose takes off, the multiplier begins to climb – from 1.01x up to an incredible 1000x. The longer the goose travels, the higher the potential reward.

As the journey gathers pace, the risk increases and at any moment the goose can be stopped in his tracks by a cunning Hunter, the swift Hawk, or the sly Crocodile. The prize returns to zero as soon as the goose is stopped by one of these protagonists. Players must decide the opportune moment to call time on the goose flight, but choose when to shoot and claim the winnings.

If the shot hits the mark, the bet is multiplied by the current multiplier, and the Goose drops to the water. Game round history is displayed at the top of the screen: green indicates a win, red – shows a loss. The Goose’s flight path continues to be shown even after the round, revealing how far it could have flown and the maximum possible winning total.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented: “Belatra has fired the starting gun on its crash game entry, bringing its signature style of humor, dynamic gameplay, and unique atmosphere. Players have the power to choose when to stop the Goose and secure the maximum multiplier before the Hunter, Hawk, or Crocodile ends the round for them!”
