BetOnGames launches Tokyo Skyline Run crash game with 97.5% RTP
BetOnGames, the instant games vertical of the BETCORE ecosystem, has launched Tokyo Skyline Run, a new crash game aimed at iGaming operators. The company said the mobile-first title ships with a 97.5% RTP and is built around short, fast rounds.
Tokyo Skyline Run is set across a neon Tokyo rooftop backdrop and uses a rising multiplier mechanic. Each round centers on a simple cash-out decision: players start the run, track the multiplier as it climbs, and choose when to cash out before a failure ends the round.
BetOnGames positions the release as a thematic extension to its crash portfolio, using anime-inspired character design and visuals including a neon city atmosphere and cherry blossom elements.
The company said the game is designed for “fast player engagement” and for operators seeking more variety in instant games, particularly for audiences that prefer short sessions and high-tempo gameplay.

F*Bastards says it now distributes content via 400+ operators worldwide
F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.
In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.
F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.
“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
