ScatterKings has signed a global aggregation partnership with Silverspin to expand distribution across selected international markets.

Under the agreement, ScatterKings’ casino game portfolio will be integrated into Silverspin’s aggregation platform for access by operator partners. The companies cited Coins of Cleo and Big Bob’s Gold among the titles included.

Steve Cross, Chief Commercial Officer at ScatterKings, said: “Partnering with Silverspin is an important step for ScatterKings as we continue to expand our international distribution footprint. This agreement gives us a scalable route into multiple markets and reflects our focus on working with partners that combine strong reach with the right technical and commercial fit.

“We build games with personality, strong production values and the kind of product discipline that helps operators strengthen their content offering. Seeing the portfolio go live with Silverspin is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we believe the partnership creates strong opportunities for both businesses.”

Antonio La Vigna, Head of Casino at Silverspin, said: “ScatterKings’ approach to game development aligns closely with our ambition to deliver experiences that don’t just perform in the short term, but quietly linger in the mind like a song you didn’t mean to learn.

“Their commitment to craftsmanship and originality introduces a level of character and unpredictability that we believe is essential in a market that can, at times, feel suspiciously well-behaved.

“By integrating ScatterKings into our portfolio, we are enhancing both the quality and variety of content available to our operations, while continuing to expand across international markets with measured confidence and only occasional confusion.”

Daniel Lechner, SVP Sales and Marketing at White Hat Studios, said: “Debuting Super Mode with Fanatics Casino is a landmark moment for White Hat Studios, and an important step in bringing our all-in-one solution, Amplify Suite, to operators across regulated US iGaming markets.

“Fanatics Casino is an ideal launch partner. It is a leading brand in multiple states with a clear focus on engagement, and the addition of Super Mode to its gamification portfolio provides the operator with a powerful new way to create standout moments for players.”

Kieron Shaw, Sr. Manager Casino Content at Fanatics Casino, added: “Super Mode allows us to add a new layer of excitement to White Hat Studios’ already popular titles.
