ELA Games says it has delivered triple-digit growth in Greece over the last two quarters, reporting an 86.30% increase in active users, a 77.20% rise in turnover, and a 201.90% surge in overall bet counts.

The supplier attributed the results to aligning its content with local player preferences and said its Greece performance has been driven by certified titles focused on visual design and “narrative-led experiences.”

ELA Games named Piñatas Festival, Riches Express, and Flame Fruits Frenzy as its top-three performing titles in Greece during the period.

The company also linked the performance to a new strategic partnership with Fonbet in Greece. ELA Games said the integration creates an exclusive hub for its content and expands access to its catalogue for local players.

Yaroslav Soloshenko, Business Development Team Lead at ELA Games, said: “When we look at the numbers, it is satisfying to see that our regional strategy is paying off in such a big way. We spend a lot of time analyzing what players in specific markets want to see. Our unique design philosophy combined with that regional focus has resulted in proven commercial success across our main European markets, and Greece is a perfect example of that in action.”

Gaming Realms has signed a licensing agreement with SIS to develop a Slingo title based on SIS’s fixed-odds live numbers draw product, 49’s. The companies announced the deal on 2nd July 2026.

The agreement marks the first time SIS has licensed IP from its numbers portfolio, according to the companies. A Slingo version is scheduled to launch in July 2026, incorporating 49’s branding, theme tune and live presenters within the game.

Gaming Realms said the game will use its Slingo mechanic, with players spinning a reel to match numbers on a board and progress up a “Slingo ladder” for increasing prizes. Slingo 49’s will be distributed to Gaming Realms’ global operator partners, with the companies highlighting the strongest appeal in the UK and Africa.

Gareth Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Realms, said: “Partnering with SIS to bring the iconic 49’s and Slingo together is a fascinating collaboration. The 49’s live draw is an adjacent gaming vertical and one of the most popular numbers products internationally, with a loyal following built over decades.

Jess Mills, Head of 49’s at SIS, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Gaming Realms to bring 49’s to life in a completely new format. The 49’s live draws have an extraordinary heritage and a passionate, global fanbase, so the decision to license our IP was not one we took lightly. Gaming Realms’ track record with Slingo gave us every confidence that this was the right partnership to make that step.

“Slingo is the ideal vehicle to introduce 49’s to a new player vertical, while keeping the authenticity that existing fans love at the heart of the experience.”
