Thunderkick enters Hungary with LVC Diamond brand Vegas.hu
Partnership marks studio’s first foray into Hungarian market
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched its games with Vegas.hu, an online casino operated by Las Vegas Casino (LVC) Diamond, marking its debut in the Hungarian iGaming market.
Hungary is the third new market entered by Thunderkick in 2024 – following the announcement that its games would go live in Canada and Colombia – highlighting the provider’s commitment to targeted global expansion.
Vegas.hu is a pioneering platform having become the first legal online casino established in the country in 2017 and has since established itself as one of the most successful and highest-grossing brands in Hungary.
The partnership, which commenced in early August, saw a collection of Thunderkick’s games integrated onto Vegas.hu, including fan-favourites Midas Golden Touch 2, Beat the Beast: Dragon’s Wrath, and Gods of Rock! Reborn.
The game developer has already reported early success among its titles, with this strong performance emphasising the quality of Thunderkick’s product portfolio, which continues to resonate with players across the globe.
Fredrik Ekholm, Head of Sales at Thunderkick, said: “We are dedicated to enhancing Thunderkick’s presence on our home continent, and the debut of our slots in Hungary reaffirms this.
“Since becoming the nation’s first regulated online casino, Vegas.hu has built a reputation as an industry leader, and we are excited to partner with the prestigious brand as we look to expand our European player base.”
Brigitta Szenczy, Head of Gaming and Studio at Vegas.hu, added: “At Vegas.hu, we have a history of providing exciting gaming experiences to Hungarian players through a portfolio of best-in-class titles.
“Thunderkick’s cutting-edge slots are sure to resonate with Vegas.hu players as we continue diversifying our content offering.”

LeoVegas Group has launched its sportsbook vertical on the popular brand LeoVegas.de. In recent years, the German igaming market has developed into potentially one of Europe’s largest, and this new addition to the brand will attract sports fans across all sixteen German states, subsequently expanding the existing customer base. Until now, LeoVegas Group has only offered virtual slot machines in Germany, following the gaming license granted last year. In conjunction with the sportsbook launch, a nationwide marketing campaign titled “Thrill Seeker” will premiere across channels such as TV, programmatic, and affiliates. The campaign will humorously showcase how to add excitement and unexpected twists to the monotony of everyday life.
Gustaf Hagman, CEO at LeoVegas Group, said “Launching our sportsbook offering in Germany is a very exciting step for LeoVegas Group as we continue to grow and strengthen our foothold. Germany is one of Europe’s great sports powerhouses, and we are confident players will enjoy LeoVegas.de as a one-stop-shop for the greatest igaming experience.”
