Key features of FBMDS’ Bailão Junino™ slots game
The new game’s authenticity is a direct result of the company’s diligent research on Latin American (LATAM) traditions, specifically Brazilian festivities.

FBMDS dedicated extensive time and resources to deeply understand the essence of these celebrations, ensuring that players will be transported to the heart of Brazil’s party atmosphere through an authentic and captivating gaming experience.
This 25-payment-line game is adorned with eye-catching graphics that capture the essence of a Brazilian celebration, featuring vibrant characters wearing traditional costumes, tasty treats, and colorful objects such as balloons, fireworks, and musical instruments. Players will be visually immersed in the joyful atmosphere, providing a truly genuine experience.
The lively beats of Baião and Forró, combined with the cheers of the crowd every time there is a win, create an energetic soundscape that complements the gameplay perfectly. The soundtrack enhances the excitement and adds an extra layer of authenticity to the game which was carefully thought out based on a localized approach to the LATAM market.
FBMDS has meticulously crafted an engaging gameplay experience, offering multiple payment lines, and bonus rounds. The Wild, Scatter and Stacked Wild features during Free Spins will make players embark on an exhilarating journey, unlocking various hidden surprises and rewards along the way.
Improved gameplay for a spotless gaming experience
Bailão Junino™ has been optimized for seamless gameplay across various devices, including desktops, smartphones, and tablets. This ensures that casino operators’ players can enjoy the captivating experience anytime, anywhere.
Guilherme Graziani, Account Manager at FBMDS, expressed his excitement about the release, stating: “We are thrilled to unveil our latest creation, a bright Brazilian Party Festivity-themed online slots game which will connect to our LATAM target audiences. With its distinctive visuals, captivating sound effects, and innovative gameplay, we are confident that players will be immersed in the contagious atmosphere of Brazil’s celebrations.
