2022 unwrapped: how FBM® took over the casino gaming world
Exactly one year ago, FBM®’s main resolution for 2022 was Expansion. In a world negatively impacted by the pandemic, the global gaming brand saw the results of its hard work with a fast-paced recovery in all sectors of the business, winning over the casino industry during these 12 intense months.
Throughout 2022, impressive steps were taken by the FBM® Group in order to meet market demands, increase customer satisfaction and create a positive impact in various communities across the globe. Between major expansion advances, new partnerships, innovative games, solidarity initiatives, more employees and relevant partnership deals, it was a year of big wins for FBM®.
Regaining momentum with big wins in 2022
Surpassing the effects caused by the pandemic was no easy task for casino gaming companies. The industry slowed down over the past two years, and market expansion stagnated for some time. However, in 2022 FBM® was able to regain momentum, turning out to be one of the best years for the brand so far.
On the land-based world, the FBM Xtreme® brand confirmed the group’s planned positioning for the slots segment, with the Mythic Link® product expansion in Mexico and the introduction of Rainbow Falls™ and Viva Mexico™ as new titles of the FBM Easy$Money Link™ pack. FBM® reserved other novelties for the last quarter with the debut of FBM Spin & Win and Jin Qián Link™, two thematic slots products in G2E Las Vegas. In terms of cabinets, Galaxy II registered an outstanding success among customers, because of its innovative and user-friendly software, as well as its versatile configurations.
In the video bingo category, FBM®’s Progressive Series collection grew its portfolio of games with titles such as Multi Mega™, Multi Plus™, Viva Mexico™ or Golden Ball™. Besides the diverse pack of games with a Multipots bonus, FBM® launched several restyles during the past 12 months making a huge impact in the bingo fans of the Mexican and Filipino markets. Underwater Riches™ and Bingolicious™ are two examples of games that now have new graphics and fresh bonuses ready to engage players.
2022 was also a year of great jackpots in terms of fairs and tradeshows, as FBM®️ participated in various events across Europe and abroad, such as FIJMA Madrid, Expojoc and G2E Las Vegas, showcasing its innovative offers to thousands of visitors, thus creating meaningful connections with target audiences.
FBM Foundation’s humanitarian help only grew in 2022
Building the resources to create a better world, where sustainable peace and support can become common practices among volunteers and organizations has always been a goal for FBM®️ and FBM Foundation, and in 2022 the group has helped numerous communities who are suffering and struggling with malnutrition, poverty, lack of education and with the effects of wars worldwide.
Throughout the year, several actions took place, such as the essential kits distribution in Marikina, the 10.000$ donation and construction of a campaign hospital to support Ukraine, the goods distribution to the Quezon Elementary School in Manila, the Blood Donation Campaign in Pasig along with the Red Cross, the support to chronic patients at the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon with Kythe Foundation, the emergency response in Isabela Province with General Touch, the charity action in Payatas with Fairplay for All, the typhoon Paeng relief operation in Noveleta, and the Feeding Program initiative in Dasmariñas.
The only way is up for the FBM®️ Group
The tremendous efforts the group and its brands have made over the past months have shown remarkable results but the impetus will not stop here. Next year, the strong investment in slots will continue, with new products coming up under the FBM Xtreme®️ brand with engaging graphics and exciting features that players will love. The strategy for the next year also includes a clear drive to continue bringing innovation and engaging products to the bingo category in order to consolidate FBM®️’s global leadership on this market.
Apart from the much-aimed global expansion into new land-based casino rooms in several countries, the casino iGaming universe will also be a top priority for the group, through boosting FBMDS™️’ most recent blow-up and by providing players with a unique remote solution which will astonish bingo fans in the Philippines.

Shoot first, ask questions never! Nolimit City rides straight into the lawless frontier in Dead, Dead or Deader, a no-nonsense, bullet-riddled slot where the only rule is: shoot ‘til it stops moving… then shoot again! This slot keeps the familiarity of Nolimit City’s catalogue but changes things up with its art style and humoristic quirks. Following the latest releases like xWays Hoarder 2, Tombstone Slaughter and Duck Hunters, this slot is looking to shoot up the charts.
Dead, Dead or Deader as the name implies is filled with some bloody good xMechanics that make the west deadlier than it already is with the likes of xNudge®, xBet®, and xGod™:
xNudge®: Always nudge to the top or bottom, boosting the multiplier by +1 with every nudge. After nudging to full visibility, the stacked xNudge® Wild gets hanged which awards a respin where the xNudge® Wild remains on the reels for one spin. When the respin is over the xNudge® Wild can get a neck snap which doubles the multiplier value and makes it stick for another spin. This can happen until the xNudge® multiplier reaches 999x or the dreaded Dropout, where the guy falls down and no more respins are awarded.
xBet®: Guaranteed a Scatter Symbol on the second reel
1 Spin 1 xNudge® Wild xBet®: Guaranteed 1 xNudge® Wild on any of the middle 3 reels
1 Spin 3 xNudge® Wilds xBet®: Guaranteed 3 xNudge® Wilds on any of the middle 3 reels
It wouldn’t be the west without the Wild Symbols. If a Wild lands on the reels it will have a 1x multiplier but if more Wilds drop to the right, they will have a multiplier of 2x and so on until a maximum of 5x
When landing 2 Scatter Symbols in the base game, they transform into wilds with multipliers. Landing 3 Scatter Symbols in the base game, will trigger 12 Dead Spins where xNudge® Wilds always stick for at least one additional spin and the xNudge® multiplier gets doubled immediately before the next spins starts. Landing a Scatter on reel 5 will upgrade Dead Spins to Deader Spins and award +2 Spins
Landing 4 Bonus Symbols in the base game, will trigger 12 Deader Spins with the same features as Dead Spins, however the xNudge® Wild multiplier gets tripled instead of doubled.
xGod® is back! Landing a stacked Casket Symbol on any reel will trigger a maximum payout of 19,349x the base bet. Duck Hunters is rated as “Extremely Volatile” delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: “Aaaaand we’re back in the West! This gritty rendition – where being dead just isn’t enough – showcases xNudge® in all its glory. The Deadlock feature is one of those mechanics you either love or hate, but when it hits… it hits big. Another wild ride we can’t wait for players to experience.”
‘Dead, Dead Or Deader’ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on February 25th, 2025.

Stake Colombia announces that starting today, it will compensate for the 19% tax on cash deposits made on its online betting site. Stake Colombia will cover this tax and credit it back to its players in their user accounts. This allows its clients to continue enjoying their favourite gaming activities without worrying about the additional tax.
Diana Otálora, General Country Manager in LatAm commented: “At Stake Colombia, our users are our top priority, and that’s why we have to adapt to the government’s measure regarding the 19% tax and comply with the required deadlines. Therefore, we are adopting internal measures so that our customers can continue playing without being affected by this situation.”
To reduce the impact of this new measure, Stake has created the Cashback IVA“ promotion, which will reward users with a bonus equal to the amount discounted for VAT on their deposit. The bonus will be credited as a cash bonus to the user’s account and will be available once the deposit is made.
“For instance,“ she continues, “if a user deposits 100,000 Colombian pesos, the 15,999 Colombian pesos of VAT will be deducted as established by the government, but Stake will grant a bonus for those same 15,999 Colombian pesos so that they can play with the total amount of their deposit.
Stake Colombia remains committed to ensuring its users enjoy an uninterrupted high-quality experience. Therefore, it guarantees that Decree 0175 will not affect the bets or winnings that users obtain on the site.
The Colombian government issued the temporary Decree 0175 of February 14, 2025, which came into effect February 22nd, and will extend until December 2025. The nationalgovernment’s action plan aspires to raise $3 billion to address the humanitarian crisis in the Catatumbo region.
