Gaming Realms, the originator of the distinctive Slingo format, has expanded its presence in Africa by partnering with SportyBet in Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, only weeks following its market launch in South Africa.

Players in the area of the top operator can now explore a wide range of Slingo games, featuring popular titles like Slingo Sweet Bonanza, Slingo Day of the Dab, and Slingo Xxxtreme. The legendary product has demonstrated widespread attraction worldwide, delivering a distinct experience that fuses the thrill of slots with tactical elements.

The operator belongs to Sporty Group, a global media and entertainment firm that possesses licenses to provide betting and online casino offerings in various regulated African areas.

Entering the three newly regulated markets marks a significant accomplishment for Gaming Realms, with Africa being a crucial growth region for the provider that has quickly expanded its footprint in Europe and North America in the past year. The newest expansion comes after a recent market launch in South Africa, with the company planning to grow further in the African region soon.

Laura Norton, Account Manager at Gaming Realms, said: “Entering three new African markets at once together with SportyBet is a fantastic achievement for the Gaming Realms team.

“We are encouraged by the initial performance and are confident our unique content is appealing to SportyBet’s local customers and look forward to a successful partnership.”

Joey Hurtado, Director of Casino at SportyBet, said: “Being the first operator to introduce Gaming Realms’ content in three of our core African markets is a real coup.

“Their product offering provides something truly different and this collaboration helps us deliver on our promise to offer our customers a best-in-class entertainment experience.”

Gaming Realms has expanded its successful partnership with leading operator Paddy Power with the launch of Slingo Golden Lucky Pants, a bespoke title featuring the brand’s legendary green and white Y-front briefs.

The new game sees Paddy Power’s iconic underwear land on the reels, with eight collected symbols triggering the Lucky Pants Balloon Bonus. In this feature, players select three inflated and airborne pairs of briefs to reveal prizes, additional picks, and multipliers of up to 216x the stake.

At the heart of the title is Gaming Realms’ signature Slingo mechanic, which blends slot and bingo gameplay. Players spin the reel to match numbers on the board, climbing the Slingo ladder for progressively higher rewards. Achieving a full house activates the Golden Lucky Pants Bonus, where selecting the correct three briefs can unlock one of five jackpots — including the top Super jackpot worth 5,000x the stake.

Wild and Super Wild symbols also appear on the reels, allowing players to strategically choose positions to “dab,” bringing them closer to completing a Slingo and unlocking additional prize potential.

The bespoke game marks the latest collaboration between Gaming Realms and Flutter Entertainment brand Paddy Power, following the exclusive rollout of Bingoton Slingo in 2023.

Gaming Realms continues to work closely with partners to develop tailored and exclusive titles that help brands differentiate themselves in a competitive marketplace, combining recognisable brand assets with high-performing mechanics designed to appeal to broad player demographics.

Gareth Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Realms, said:
“We are thrilled to further strengthen our partnership with Paddy Power through the launch of Slingo Golden Lucky Pants.

“This title perfectly captures the essence of what we do best — merging our unique Slingo mechanic with an operator’s iconic brand identity to create a standout gaming experience. It’s been a pleasure to ‘brief’ our mechanics into such a legendary brand asset, and we’re confident players will love the mix of humour and high-win potential.”

Adam O’Connor, Senior Content Manager at Paddy Power, added:
“Offering our customers original and entertaining content is paramount to us, and with Slingo Golden Lucky Pants we’re bringing something completely unique, featuring our iconic briefs that have become famous after being worn by numerous sports stars.

“Slingo Golden Lucky Pants delivers a fun and rewarding experience, and we hope they bring luck to players as they enjoy the thrill of the game.”

Gaming Realms, a top supplier of mobile-centric gaming content, has expanded its global presence following its entry into South Africa with prominent operator Hollywoodbets.

Gaming Realms’ varied collection of Slingo games is now accessible to local gamers, featuring titles created through the provider’s distinctive IP and brand collaborations, including Slingo Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania, Slingo Sweet Bonanza, and Slingo Xxxtreme.

Hollywoodbets ranks among South Africa’s biggest betting and gaming brands, featuring both physical and online operations, along with a loyal customer base. The collaboration with Gaming Realms was executed via Hollywoodbets’ regional aggregation partner Light & Wonder.

The collaboration signifies Gaming Realms’ initial venture into the African market, following other recent market entries that have greatly expanded the company’s global presence. The firm is currently operational in more than 30 regulated markets and intends to grow further in 2026, including in Africa.

Gareth Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Realms, said: “Adding new regulated markets is imperative as we continue to cement our position as a leading supplier of unique and engaging content.

“Entering South Africa together with such a prominent partner as Hollywoodbets is a significant signal of intent and we have great ambitions to make the African region a key focus for Gaming Realms, as it offers great potential and an opportunity to reach completely new audiences.”

Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets, said: “Gaming Realms is a provider that truly brings something unique, and we are excited to be the first operator to introduce Slingo and their wider game portfolio to players in South Africa.

“Their Slingo content appeals to a wide player demographic, blending the best from slots and strategy, and we have already seen it really resonate with our customers.”
