Octavian Gaming and Vivid Gaming has successfully introduced a growing portfolio of co-developed slot titles to the Italian regulated market through its strategic partnership with Octavian Gaming. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Vivid Gaming’s expansion across Europe’s established gaming landscapes.

Since October, the first wave of jointly developed titles – Cleopatra’s Heritage and Robin Hood Saga – has been live with leading Italian operators, showing early traction and strong player engagement. This rollout reinforces both companies’ commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality gaming experiences that are visually engaging and fully compliant with regulated market standards.

The partnership with Octavian Gaming, a pioneering Italian company based in Verona, leverages their deep local expertise and established operator network to bring this modern, 3D-driven, uplifting slot offering to Italian players.

Karl Hsu, CEO of Vivid Gaming, commented: “Italy represents a major milestone in our international expansion. Since October, our games have been live and delivering strong results, and our partnership with Octavian Gaming has been instrumental in driving this success. We are thrilled to bring our creative and engaging portfolio to one of Europe’s most mature gaming markets. This is just the beginning as we continue to expand and share our passion for innovative gaming experiences across new regions.”

Simone Pachera, CEO of Octavian Gaming, added: “Vivid Gaming brings a fresh style and dynamic approach to game design that resonates strongly with Italian players. We are proud to have facilitated their successful launch in Italy and are eager about the opportunities ahead as we further cement this collaboration. Together, we will create an exceptional experience for players while exploring new possibilities in regulated markets.”

This successful Italian entry marks the beginning of a structured, long-term roadmap of co-developed releases, which includes the following upcoming titles:

Penguin Frenzy – December 2025
Burglar Trio – January 2026
Dessert Boom – February 2026
Jalapeño Blast – April 2026

This planned rollout highlights the companies’ sustained commitment to delivering fresh, premium content tailored for regulated environments.

The Italian portfolio showcases a remarkable diversity in themes and gameplay – spanning adventure, wildlife, historical legends, and vibrant fantasy – supported by cutting-edge 3D graphics and player-centric features such as bonus rounds, free spins, multipliers, gamble mechanics, and other engagement-driven elements.

Blask data: lottery drives 78% of France’s gambling search demand

blask-data:-lottery-drives-78%-of-france’s-gambling-search-demand

New category-level analysis breaks down non-branded iGaming demand by vertical across France, Brazil, India, Italy and Switzerland.

Blask says lottery-related queries account for around 78% of total gambling search demand in France, outweighing online casino (~10%) and live dealer, betting and poker (each ~4%). The company positions the data as evidence that sports betting is not the primary driver of gambling demand in every market.

Blask said the figures come from non-branded search data and are part of a new category-level analysis feature designed to break down demand across verticals and subcategories within each market. The tool is intended to help operators compare player intent across jurisdictions, including “lottery in France, football betting in Brazil, or culturally driven formats in India.”

Outside France, Blask’s data shows Brazil is more betting-led, with online betting at ~52% of demand, which the company attributes largely to football. Lottery represents ~25%, fantasy sports ~11%, while casino (~6%) and live dealer (~2%) remain smaller segments.

India is described as more evenly distributed, with lottery at ~35% and live dealer at ~29%, and online casino, betting and fantasy each at roughly 10%. In Europe, Italy’s demand is reported as seasonally influenced by football, with fantasy sports leading at ~37%, while Switzerland is presented as casino-first, with online casino at ~38%.

Across the markets analysed, Blask said two themes recur: older categories often remain the biggest, and regulation heavily shapes demand. Where certain verticals are restricted, the company said interest tends to shift into adjacent or offshore segments rather than disappearing.
