Fantasma Games, the studio that produces slots beyond gambling, has rolled out Xpand, a powerful Remote Game Server (RGS) to strengthen its relationship with operators and to drive forward with its ambitious growth plans.

The Fantasma Xpand provides the studio with many benefits, including continued operational excellence and deepening support for its operator partners in scaling their content offerings around the studio’s premium games and products.

It also allows the studio to take its product roadmap and game production to the next level facilitating even more innovation by making it easier to bring new concepts, mechanics and gameplay to the market while speeding up time to market for new and existing partners.

The platform already comes with easy-to-use gamification tools and enables operators to quickly set up and manage player engagement activities such as prize drops, tournaments, missions and more.

Operators can take advantage of a standard API for integration, allowing Fantasma to strike and deploy new partnerships at scale and at speed.

Fantasma’s entire game portfolio is available via Xpand. This includes legacy titles such as Flower Fortune Megaways and its most recent releases like Shadow Summoner Elementals.

The launch of Fantasma Xpand is the next logical step in the studio’s development. It’s already built a reputation for producing thrilling content, often based on compelling narratives and with smart mechanics, to provide a unique player experience.

Armed with its RGS, Fantasma is now eyeing expansion into emerging markets such as Latin America and Africa having firmly established itself in Europe and the US.

 

Fredrik Johansson, Founder and CEO of Fantasma Games, said: “This is a milestone moment for Fantasma Games, allowing us to form stronger operator partners while also giving us greater control over our development and distribution.

“We have incredibly ambitious growth plans, both in terms of our product roadmap and increasing our roster of operator partners in core markets across the world, and we will only be able to achieve this with our own RGS.

“Ultimately, it will allow us to develop better games and deliver these games to more operators in more markets than ever before via a smooth, seamless, direct integration.”

Alea, a leading iGaming aggregator, is sponsoring the second edition of the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy, a golf tournament bringing together iGaming executives at the Royal Malta Golf Club on May 11 and 12.

Alea, the leading casino iGaming aggregator, is sponsoring the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy, taking place on May 11–12 at the Royal Malta Golf Club.

Now in its second edition, the tournament continues to establish itself as a meeting point for the global iGaming industry.

It brings together competition, partnership, and shared experiences in a setting that extends beyond traditional events.

40 players, six countries, Ryder Cup format

Players from Malta, the UK, Spain, the Netherlands, Dubai, and Canada will take part in a Ryder Cup-style format, with 40 golfers split into two teams competing across singles and doubles matches.

Team Malta, sponsored by ALL IN Platform in association with Alea, returns to defend its title following a tightly contested win in 2025, while Team Shivers, backed by Presidio, looks to reclaim the trophy.

For Alea, sponsoring the tournament with their long-term partner ALL IN Platform, reflects their ongoing effort to reinforce relationships in environments where competition and collaboration naturally intersect.

It’s a format that brings partners together in a more personal manner while still holding onto the competitive edge that defines the industry.

Alongside the tournament, an exclusive iGaming networking event will take place on the evening of May 11, gathering more than 80 industry professionals.

While golf drives the competition, the broader value of the event lies in the relationships it creates and strengthens.

“After the success at Loch Lomond 2025, we wanted to bring that same spirit of partnership to Malta with the ALL IN Platform team.

Excellence is a shared standard for us, both in business and on the green, and the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy is the perfect stage to lean into that.

We value the connection of bringing together people who share a sense of precision and purpose.

It’s the ideal moment to celebrate our partners and the journey we’re on together.” — Ramon Glieneke, COO at Alea

“Partnering with Alea on the ALL IN Platform Presidio Trophy reflects exactly how we believe business relationships should evolve—through shared experiences, trust, and a healthy sense of competition.

Alea has been a natural partner for us, aligned in both vision and execution, and this event is a great example of how we can bring the industry together in a way that feels both meaningful and memorable.

It’s not just about the tournament—it’s about strengthening the connections that drive long-term success.”  John Foster , CCO at ALL IN Platform

Set just outside Valletta, the Royal Malta Golf Club is one of the oldest in Europe and provides a course that blends history with a layout that rewards consistency and precision.

It’s a setting that mirrors the nature of the event itself: competitive, focused, and built around performance.

As the tournament returns to Malta, the 2026 edition builds on last year’s momentum, bringing renewed rivalries and a growing international presence as the event continues to establish itself as a distinctive fixture within the iGaming calendar.

Alea is a leading iGaming aggregator, offering a customizable platform that provides operators worldwide with seamless access to over 17,000 games from 170+ top-tier providers through a single API integration.

Known for its innovative technology, Alea simplifies the integration journey and delivers a flexible, scalable solution designed to enhance game variety, player experience, and operational efficiency.

Alea is highly committed to a security-first infrastructure, ensuring reliability and trust at every level.

In 2024, the company strengthened its cybersecurity framework through a strategic partnership with Continent 8 and achieved VAPT certification.
