Reseller deal sees leading provider entrust its portfolio to an emerging force in retail and online gaming

RPM Gaming, the rising star of online and retail betting and gaming, has announced a major new deal with Design Works Gaming (DWG) to bolster its progressive portfolio, bringing the best games to market across global territories.

Under the terms of this global distribution agreement, RPM Gaming will help DWG broaden the distribution of its top-performing games and promotional tools, across international markets, both mature and emerging, with leading igaming platforms and operators. Leveraging RPM’s global contact portfolio, the deal promises to deliver significant value to both parties.

RPM Gaming is fronted by Richard Thorp, Peter Watson and Ben Rushall. The team’s collective experience in business development, strategy implementation and scale-up success has enabled them to deliver hundreds of gaming solutions to top-tier operators worldwide over the past 20 years.

With the confidence of its past successes propelling it forward, DWG has blazed into the online real-money gaming market this year. As a recognised leader in game development, DWG has supplied content to the likes of Novomatic, Aristocrat, IGT and Scientific Games. DWG has also developed several leading social casinos – offering hundreds of proprietary slots, scratchers and promotional tools to millions of players around the globe.

Richard Thorp, Director of RPM Gaming, said: “We’re thrilled to have signed this reseller partnership with DWG. I’ve known Andy for years and have been particularly impressed by the multi-faceted games his team have developed at DWG. Their product development is led by superior modelling and data science. In keeping with this innovative new relationship, we look forward to delivering some creative deal structures.”

Andy Harris, UK CEO of Design Works Gaming, said: “RPM’s combined gaming experience and understanding is second to none, not to mention their black book of global contacts. So, this reseller agreement was a no-brainer. Initially, we are approaching targets in Europe and South America where we’re already exploring some promising leads. We can’t wait to see how our games perform across markets which, in some cases, break new ground for our product portfolio.”

Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.

The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.

A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.

Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.

Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.

“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”
