GROWING EXPONENTIALLY EXPONENTIALLY DESPITE COVID RESTRICTIONS

The company’s rapid growth fell on the world-turning pandemic, making it one of the only startups in France actively hiring during the national lockdown. Homa Games quadrupled its team in the past year, expanding the offices to Toulouse, Lisbon and Skopje with the HQ remaining in Paris, and absorbed free-to-play mobile Toulouse-based studio IRL Team. In the same span of time, the company’s milestones were topped by reaching 250 million lifetime downloads, with one of the biggest contributors being NERF Epic Pranks! – one of the first IP HyperCasual games on the market and the company’s first licenced game in collaboration with Hasbro.

“Resilience, task ownership and teamwork are the basis of Homa Games culture, and what allowed us not only to be fully operational during the lockdown, but succeeding in innovation and growth.” shared Oliver le Bas, CRO and Co-founder.

By 2021 Homa Games consolidated its growth by hiring key management figures, including VP of Operations, Julien Bourhis, previously project leader for Boston Consulting Group, Naveen Mewani, Head of Growth Strategies and Romain Levrini, VP of Finance.

DISRUPTING THE CONTENT CREATION PROCESS TO RELEASE LEADING MOBILE APPS WORLDWIDE

“HyperCasual is paving the way for a new production flow to release fun games at a very fast speed. At Homa, we are creating technologies to push this vision a step further, and our goal is to disrupt the content creation process to release the most entertaining apps to a massive audience. We unlock the creativity of developers around the world. This Seed round will enable us to invest further in talents, IP licensing, and products.” Daniel Nathan, CEO & Co-Founder Homa Games.

IDINVEST PARTNERS AND E.VENTURES SUPPORT WILL ACCELERATE HOMA’S GLOBAL EXPANSION AND IMPACT ON THE MOBILE INDUSTRY

In the ever growing mobile industry Homa aims to further diversify and expand their portfolio, innovate and create new tech in User Acquisition and Monetisation, and prototyping and development. The company will combine its expertise with the experience of Idinvest Partners, a European venture capital firm and holder of the Venture 2020 fund prize by Private Equity Magazine, and e.ventures, a leading early-stage early-stage American venture capital fund which invested in Farfetch, Sonos, Scopely, Blinkist and Gopuff among other companies.

The distributor’s newest slot features club-inspired cascades and multipliers reaching as high as x1000.

3 Oaks Gaming, a well-known distributor of iGaming content, has launched DJ Tiger x1000, a colorful scatter pays slot with cascading mechanics and multipliers reaching up to x1000.

Underneath club lights and rotating disco balls, this engaging 6×5 slot animates each spin with lively, fast-paced gameplay. The Cascading Reels feature allows for the chance to activate several wins during one spin if eight or more identical symbols appear, with additional enhancement when the Permanent Wild appears and remains on the reels until the cascade concludes.

Disco Ball Bonus symbols are prominent, providing multipliers of up to x1000 either individually or triggered by DJ Tiger. When several Multipliers appear in one spin, their amounts merge to enhance the total winnings. Mystery Multipliers between x10 and x1000 may also surface, disclosing their amounts after the complete cascade ends.

Free Spins increase the pace even more, as each Multiplier from a winning spin adds to a Total Multiplier that accumulates during the feature.

Players can also check out the Bonus Shop, which provides three kinds of Free Spins, featuring Mega Free Spins where improved Multipliers from x25 to x1000 can be accessed. Three lively Spin Boosters are available as well, providing players the chance to elevate gameplay at an increased cost per spin.

Featuring an energetic atmosphere and characteristics, DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant new entry in the 3 Oaks Gaming collection, aimed at ensuring the celebration continues for players globally.

Victoria Vashukevich, Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant evolution of our scatter pays slot portfolio, bringing a fresh club-themed twist and electrifying Multipliers that elevate the experience.

“The introduction of Disco Ball Bonus Symbols, Mystery Multipliers and a dynamic Bonus Shop add new layers to the gameplay, ensuring every spin feels energetic and engaging.”

Kendoo, the rapidly expanding slot supplier, is raising the stakes with the debut of 3 Blitz Hits, an exhilarating 5×3 slot where lightning-infused Blitz symbols ignite rising payouts and Free Spins enhance up to three stackable modifiers.

Created for speed, energy, and quick reward cycles, 3 Blitz Hits maintains continuous momentum from the initial spin to the last hit.

Central to the game is the engaging Blitz Hit Feature. Hitting three or more Blitz symbols immediately activates increasing payouts that can soar to an impressive 1,000 times the wager.

Lightning stickers can show up on any symbol, contributing to the colored Lightning Progress bars, which increase momentum for the Free Spins round. The violet, red, and blue trails each reveal a unique modifier, allowing for one, two, or all three attributes to trigger a layered Free Spins event.

The bonus begins with seven Free Spins, which can be obtained in both the Main Game and while in Free Spins. Free Spins always start with a minimum of one active feature and may encompass two or all three simultaneously.

The Extra Feature triggers extra Free Spins symbols on the fifth reel, granting +1 spins and prolonging the gameplay. The Double Feature enlarges the grid from 5×3 to 5×6, enhancing symbol coverage and providing a larger opportunity for wins.

At the same time, the Boost Feature adds extra Blitz symbols to the reels without affecting current line wins, enhancing Blitz Hit payouts and maintaining the excitement.

For gamers wanting to accelerate their experience, the Power-Up Buy feature provides immediate entry to Free Spins with one to three randomly chosen features, or the choice to enable all three simultaneously for optimal effect.

Kate Romanenko, Commercial Director at Kendoo: “3 Blitz Hits is all about delivering pure energy and fast-paced excitement.

“The blend of instant Blitz payouts and stackable Free Spins modifiers creates a dynamic flow where every spin feels charged with opportunity. It’s a powerful evolution within our 3 Pots portfolio.”

3 Blitz Hits is now available for demo and real play across all Kendoo partner platforms.
