Thunderkick commits to expansion in Italy with CasinoMania partnership
Provider targeting commercial opportunities in Italian slots market
Independent slots studio Thunderkick has partnered with leading operator CasinoMania, making the developer’s games accessible to a new audience as it focuses on enhancing its presence in Italy.
CasinoMania – an operator under parent company Cristaltec Group – is a prominent brand in the country that offers sports betting and a full suite of online casino products, including Live Casino titles, table and card games, and slots from the industry’s most popular providers.
The symbiotic relationship will see the game creator’s exciting and innovative portfolio integrated into CasinoMania’s platform, driving customer engagement for the partner and increasing Thunderkick’s player base in the jurisdiction.
The collaboration marks the latest milestone in Thunderkick’s global growth plans which sees it turn its attention back to Europe following the recent launch in Canada’s regulated Ontario market.
Following a successful opening six months in 2024, the Stockholm-based studio has outlined a desire to amplify its presence in key strategic countries on its home continent, which includes targeting Italy, where the provider hopes to increase its market share to unlock a new collection of players.
Among the games which will become available to CasinoMania players are the recent releases Midas Golden Touch 2, King of the Party, and Sword of Arthur, as well as fan-favourites Xterminate and Hot Potato!
Andrea Brioschi, Key Account Manager at Thunderkick, said: “While there has been a lot of focus on the Ontario and US sweepstake launches, Thunderkick remains committed to fortifying its brand on the European iGaming scene.
“CasinoMania is a respected operator in Italy that has cultivated a catalogue of entertaining games from industry leaders. We are sure the addition of Thunderkick’s unique, cutting-edge titles will only strengthen this offering further.”
Calvi Lorenzo, Member of the Board of Directors at Cristaltec, added: “We are excited to announce the new partnership with Thunderkick, which will allow us to expand our offering of high-quality games in CasinoMania’s online casino, part of the Cristaltec Group.
“This partnership will enable us to provide our customers with a wide selection of excellent games, demonstrating our continuous commitment to exceeding expectations in the iGaming sector.”

Swintt titles take Italy by storm following Eurobet partnership
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Sought-after software provider enjoys highly successful market debut and confirms plans to expand current Eurobet.it line-up in the months to come
With Swintt having entered the Italian market last month via an exclusive partnership with Eurobet.it, the in-demand software provider has already announced plans to expand its line-up at the casino following the promising performance of its Elysium Studios titles.
Having initially launched with popular games Pirates Pledge Hold & Win, Battle of Myths, Supa Crew, Wizardz World and Crystalium, uptake among players proved so strong that Swintt is now seeking approval from the regulator to roll out a second round of releases on the Italian platform.
Once that greenlight has been received, Swintt intends to add the spell-binding fairytale slot, A Hopping Kiss, and the recently-released expanding reels game, Enigma of Egypt, to its existing content offering, granting players at Eurobet.it an even greater choice of Elysium Studios options.
Of course, as the portfolio of Elysium Studios titles offered at Eurobet.it continues to grow, Swintt will enjoy ongoing visibility opportunities on the platform that will help raise the provider’s profile in the Italian market and help it build on the strong momentum created by the first wave of games.
From Eurobet.it’s perspective, meanwhile, being the first Italian operator to host Swintt’s state-of-the-art titles will cement the platform’s status as the go-to online casino destination for Italian players while also adding another top tier software studio to its extensive collection of providers.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Having only launched with Eurobet.it at the end of October, we’ve been really encouraged by the reception our Elysium Studios titles have received from Italian players and work is already underway to roll out our next round of releases.
“With both A Hopping Kiss and Enigma of Egypt ear-marked to launch on the platform in the coming months, our ongoing partnership with Eurobet will ensure we remain firmly in the public eye and can build on the early momentum created by our strong start to life in the Italian market.”
Claudia De Santis, Head of Gaming Integrations & Operations at Eurobet.it, said: “At Eurobet.it, our strategy focuses on distinguishing our offer by securing the market’s most innovative content first. Partnering with Swintt allows us to maintain this competitive edge. We are thrilled to be the exclusive launch partner for Swintt in Italy; adding ‘Pirate Pledge Hold & Win’ to our library reinforces our commitment to delivering premium, first-to-market experiences to our players.”
