Relive The 90’s With Slam Dunk As The Fan-Favourite Basketball Gaming App Comes To AppGallery
The SLAM DUNK app is based on the world’s best-selling anime basketball series and classic manga from Eisner Award nominee Takehiko Inoue
Huawei, the world leading technology company, announced it has partnered with Hong Kong’s leading game distributor, ForShow Games, to bring its latest mobile basketball game, SLAM DUNK, to HUAWEI AppGallery – available for immediate download in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Australia. Roll-out across other European markets, including Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal and Ireland is expected from March onwards.
Just in time for the highly anticipated arrival of SLAM DUNK the movie, which sent fans into a frenzy when it was announced on social media by creator Inoue Takehiko earlier this year, the SLAM DUNK app is based on the 1990’s iconic Japanese manga, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary.
The series has been beautifully remastered to create an incredibly immersive mobile gaming experience, whilst maintaining the stylistic references and much-loved characters from the original manga, that many fans came to know and love. The game explores the life of Hanamichi Sakuragi and his journey from an outsider at a new school, to discovering his love and passion of basketball and achieving his dream of entering the National Championship.
Featuring single player as well as competitor modes, including 2V2 and 3V3, SLAM DUNK is the perfect game for playing alone, or with friends and family. Single player mode offers gamers the chance to improve their skills with personal training, helpful for getting to grips with the court, whilst multiplayer mode enables users to tackle opponents and easily track player rankings.
With smooth graphics and the authentic style of the original magna, SLAM DUNK lets gamers choose from a wide selection of original characters, ignite their passion for basketball, and enjoy battling with friends, anywhere and anytime, as they move through the ranks on-court whilst showing off skills synonymous with the original anime, such as “Solid Defence” and “Gorilla Dunk”.
Peter Gauden, Head of WEU EcoSystem Marketing at Huawei CBG commented: “We are committed to bringing the biggest, most iconic apps and services to AppGallery to our 42 million monthly users across Europe. With mobile gaming becoming increasingly popular, SLAM DUNK offers a classic, yet remastered experience that will help awaken childhood memories and offer an escape from the everyday, courtesy of the world’s best-selling basketball anime series.”
Frank Zhang, CEO of ForShow Games added: “We’re thrilled that SLAM DUNK will now be more widely available thanks to AppGallery, offering more of the original manga’s fans the chance to re-embrace the basketball classic. With such a huge user base, AppGallery is the perfect partner for helping gamers try a new gaming challenge and become a basketball legend.”

Study of 1,752 Big 5 league matches finds a 12-point uptime gap; live World Cup leaderboard to run during the tournament.
Bettormetrics has launched what it calls the first World Cup Trading Performance Benchmark, ranking sportsbooks on in-play market uptime ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The sports odds intelligence firm said it will publish a live World Cup leaderboard on its website during the tournament to track trading performance.
The benchmark measures operator uptime on the Total Goals market across 1,752 fixtures in the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. Bettormetrics analysed 22 operators and published a Top 10, reporting a gap of more than 12 percentage points between the highest and lowest performers.
Tipico ranked first overall with 95.9% uptime, followed by Fanatics (95.3%) and Betsson (94.9%). Superbet (94.8%) and Betano (94.7%) rounded out the top five. Bettormetrics said Premier League fixtures generally delivered the highest availability across operators, while La Liga was “the key differentiator” and “consistently produced the lowest availability figures across the field.”
The results also highlighted regional shifts. Bettormetrics noted that none of bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes or Paddy Power made the Top 10, while Fanatics placed second overall as the highest-ranked US operator. It also flagged Pinnacle and SBOBET as ranking poorly on in-play availability in this analysis despite “strong reputations for pregame pricing and market depth.”
Sabin Brooks, CEO of Bettormetrics, said: “The World Cup represents one of the highest-risk and highest-opportunity periods in the sportsbook calendar. Small differences in uptime, trading performance and market availability can have a material impact on turnover, profitability and even reputation.
“The World Cup leaderboard will answer one simple question: which sportsbook performed best when it matters most?”
