Homa, the world’s leading mobile game publisher, is pleased to announce the appointment of Henry Lowenfels as its new President and Chief Business Officer (CBO).

With extensive experience in the mobile gaming industry and a strong track record, Henry will join Homa’s executive team contributing to the company’s growth and achievement of strategic plans.

Henry boasts extensive experience in the gaming industry, having held leadership roles in key companies such as Senior Vice President of Business Development at Scopely and Chief Product Officer at OneTeam Partners. He joined Scopely in its early stages in 2012 and made his way to the executive team playing a vital role in the company’s development, culminating in its $4.9 billion acquisition by Savvy Games Group in 2023. Over his eight-year tenure at Scopely, Henry’s contribution was instrumental in reshaping the company’s publishing approach and securing significant licensing deals for popular IPs like Monopoly Go!, Star Trek™ Fleet Command, Walking Dead: Road to Survival, and WWE Champions. He also led the Corporate Development team through important M&A deals including the acquisition of Digit Games and FoxNet, and fostered Scopely’s strong developer ecosystem, partnering with studios across four continents. These include renowned names like IUGO, Boss Fight, Mediatonic, and Aquiris, thereby solidifying the company’s industry presence. Furthermore, during his time at OneTeam Partners, he was responsible for overseeing video game and web3 product strategy and business development of the company, growing the business from a $300 million valuation when he joined to a $1.9 billion exit just over two years later.

Leveraging his strong background in business development and publishing, Lowenfels will support Homa in enhancing organizational performance and growth through strategic partnerships. His contributions will help drive the company’s vision and strengthen its positioning as a leading player in the mobile gaming industry, with a focus on innovation and emerging genres such as hybridcasual, a field in which the company has already taken significant steps. Homa recently doubled down its hybridcasual division and is strengthening its cutting-edge tech platform “Homa Lab” for empowered hybridcasual publishing.

“We are delighted to welcome Henry to our team” stated Daniel Nathan, Founder & CEO at Homa. “We’re confident that his extensive experience in the entertainment industry and his business development approach will have an important positive impact on the growth of the company. We look forward to working closely with him to push the boundaries of mobile gaming and continue empowering game creators and ourselves to create chart-topping games”.

Lowenfels has also expressed his excitement to join Homa and contribute to its continued success. “Homa is a pioneering force in the mobile gaming industry, and I am honored to become part of this growing, disruptive and ambitious team,” said Henry. “The company is undergoing an amazing expansion stage right now and I’m excited to contribute to it and further position Homa as a leader in the gaming space.”

With Lowenfels’ appointment, Homa continues its commitment to hiring top talent to drive growth, innovation, and disruption in the mobile gaming industry.

Swintt bring players four times the fun in Lucky Fortune Door Wild

Sought-after software provider’s enhanced Premium release sees players step into the glow of the Far East as wild symbols and Quadspins combine for huge rewards

With Swintt having already opened the way to a world of wonder in the original Lucky Fortune Door, this month the award-winning software provider is back in action again with Lucky Fortune Door Wild – an exciting reboot that gives players even more ways to win!

Like its SwinttPremium predecessor, Lucky Fortune Door Wild is a five-reel slot that can be played with either five or ten paylines. Boasting an engaging Far East theme, the slot combines dragons, yin and yang pendants and coins with new golden ingot wilds that substitute for all other symbols.

The good news for fans of the original game is that the slot’s signature Quadspin mechanic again makes a welcome return. Activated whenever a win of at least 4x the bet is triggered, players will have the choice to either claim their current prize or gamble a portion of it to activate Quadspins.

Should they decide for the latter option, the gameboard will be divided into four separate reel sets to potentially quadruple the prizes on offer – and of course, with substitute wilds now also in play, the chances of players landing the slot’s maximum 6,000x win multiplier will be greatly increased.

As a further incentive, during Quadspins, an extra mystery symbol is also added to the reels. Should any instances of this icon appear on any of the four reel sets, they will be replaced by a random matching symbol to create additional payline wins and generate potentially huge prizes.

On top of this, should players continue to land wins of 4x their bet or greater during Quadspins, they can elect to remain in the feature for longer. With a maximum of 50 Quadspin available per set, the odds of them embarking on a prolonged winning streak are, therefore, much more likely.

To cap it off, all wins in Lucky Fortune Door Wild are paid from both left-to-right and right-to-left, meaning that no matter how aggressively players choose to play, fortune is only ever a spin away.

David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With Swintt’s signature Quadspin mechanic proving a hugely popular addition to our Premium line-up, we’re delighted to be giving the feature another outing in Lucky Fortune Door Wild. Offering the same great gameplay as the original release but now with added wilds, it’s sure to be a big hit with players and operators alike.”

Squid Gold X2 by 18Peaches invites players to dive deep into a world of mystery, magic and forgotten riches. Set within a sacred castle filled with ancient relics and hidden chambers, every spin feels like a step deeper into the unknown. The legendary golden squid is said to guard untold fortunes, and only the bravest adventurers will uncover its secrets.

The journey plays out across a 5×5 grid with 50 paylines, where expanding reels can unlock up to 100 paylines for even greater rewards.

With enchanting artifacts, secret rooms, and the electrifying Squid 500 feature, no spin ever feels ordinary. Add in Free Spins, Wild expansions and instant bonus access via Buy Bonus, and Squid Gold X2 becomes a pulse-raising treasure hunt built for thrill-seekers.

“With Squid Gold X2, our goal was to create a journey where every spin feels like a step closer to unlocking a forgotten legend,” says 18Peaches Chief Strategy Officer Arsen Tadevosyan. “We designed mechanics like Squid 500 and the X2 expanding reels to build momentum, each trigger feels like a gate opening, both visually and emotionally. It’s that feeling of chasing something mythical, where every feature builds anticipation and drives you deeper into the experience.”

“When reels expand, paylines double, and the chamber glows with energy, players feel the story unfolding through mechanics. That flow, the rise in tension, the surge of possibility, is what makes Squid Gold X2 such a captivating adventure.”

As with all 18Peaches’ releases, Squid Gold X2™ is bursting with features that keep every moment alive. The highlight is the legendary Squid 500 mechanic.

Whenever a Wild lands and expands, it triggers the sacred Golden Gate, unlocking hidden energy within the castle walls. As the gate opens, the power of the golden squid surges through the reels, doubling your paylines and dramatically boosting winning potential.

There’s also our X2 Mechanic. During bonus rounds, when the Golden Gate rises it reveals additional rows, expanding the grid and transforming 50 paylines into a breathtaking 100-line battlefield of rewards.

Squid Gold X2 is the latest addition to 18Peaches’ fast-growing catalogue of hit titles that continue to resonate with modern players. Recent successes such as Leprechaun Jackpot Collector, Monster Load-Up Hold & Win, and the high-adrenaline Hacker Crash™ Jackpot have firmly established the studio as a creator of distinctive, high-engagement experiences.

As with all 18Peaches titles, Squid Gold X2 is built for effortless market deployment. The platform supports Sweepstakes and Free Rounds via API, enabling operators to easily tailor promotional strategies across diverse regulatory environments.
