Up-and-coming gaming company Spearhead Studios releases two more engaging titles during its Super July campaign. Blackjack and Giant Panda will join Spearhead Studios’ portfolio and are set to bring entertainment to life in many jurisdictions.

Blackjack is Spearhead Studios’ second table game, following the release of European Roulette in the Spring of 2020. This classic casino game was specifically built to be played of both desktop and mobile and offers an intuitive experience which card lovers will enjoy.

Asian themed Giant Panda will appeal to players who are looking for a relaxing experience. The 5-reel slot is accompanied by a beautiful scenario and peaceful music, surrounding the player with zen vibes and transforming the gameplay into a true pleasure.

Mathias Larsson, Managing Director of Spearhead Studios, says: “It’s not very often to have two game releases in just one week, so we are super proud of that achievement.

“Our Blackjack game is specifically designed for portrait mobile play. Many other Blackjack games on the market fall short there, so we spent a lot of time and effort to get it right. Giant Panda is an excellent game with an Asian touch to it.”

Kevin Corti, Game Development Director at Spearhead Studios, comments: “We looked at the market and only found a few multi-hand Blackjack games that were designed specifically for mobile portrait gameplay and decided to address this need. Our Blackjack games are multi-hand, feature-rich, and benefit from a very simple user interface making the player experience seamless and a true pleasure.

“Giant Panda is a great slot with an appealing theme that will both surprise and delight players, especially thanks to the proliferation of multiplying wilds in the free spins.”

Spearhead Studios’ games are currently certified in Malta, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Colombia, with additional jurisdictions to come in the upcoming year.

F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.

In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.

The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.

F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.

“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
