We are truly grateful to have such a strong team in place; this is what leads Fugaso as a player to be reckoned with within the iGaming industry.
Back when you were getting started, what was the motivation that drove you all to launching Fugaso? What did you feel was missing out there, in the industry?
Launching Fugaso came from a place of truth, love and appreciation for this industry.
Every one of us loves the iGaming sphere, we live it, breath it, eat it and just enjoy every second, yes even the not so fun times.
Although it’s not always easy, our passion for creating new content, driven by amazing engagement tools, newly designed features, interesting characters is what gives us power to keep going, knowing our content is recognized and loved by thousands of players across the globe is what makes it all worth it.
We value the players, we appreciate them, and always listen to what they have to say, as our only goal is to provide engaging, newly designed and modern way of entertainment via our amazing suite of video slots which feature some of our amazing blockbusters at Trump It Deluxe, Cleopatra’s Diary (Finalist as best new slot of 2019), Book Of Tattoo II and our newly released Clash Of Gods.
What were some of the most significant milestones for the company regarding developments in 2019?
Well 2019 was a great year for us, starting with an amazing achievement of licensing our games under the technical standards of the UK Gambling Commission, followed up with an MGA license and a great exhibition at ICE, London 2019 where we got to release our blockbuster, Trump It Deluxe, which received a lot of love and recognition from many leading operators within the industry.
3 years, 67 games, 2 major licenses by MGA & UK is a very big achievement for our team during 2019 heading to 2020 with an amazing portfolio of 70 video slots that are supported by all currencies & cryptocurrencies, all devices, languages.
“3 years, 67 games, 2 major licenses by MGA & UK is a very big achievement for our team during 2019.”
2020 is where the magic happens, stay tuned!
What are your current key markets, and do you plan to expand any time soon?
Since the start we have managed to partner up with some of the biggest operators in the CIS region, since then players fell in love with Fugaso and still to this day, CIS is our biggest market, followed us by Northern, Mid Europe countries such as Germany, Finland and Norway.
Remember when I said 2020 is where the magic happens?
So, this is it, during the year Fugaso will be entering 6 new markets where we have never been seen before.
Partnerships with few major platforms and operators is what made us follow up with this move which will allow operators from Italy, Lithuania, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Columbia and around the world to become even more familiar with our content and offering for players.
When creating a slot for modern players, what are some of the ingredients you believe are essential to the game, and what is the modern player looking for?
There are a few major elements which we focus on when creating new slots, especially for modern players.
*Unique Math: Modern players as oppose to old school players are looking more into the complexity of the game, nevertheless, there has to be a sweet spot, between too complex and too simple, this is where we come in and do our magic.
*High RTP: The return to player must be at least 96%, this is a very valuable standard to have, both for old school and modern players.
*Highly payable features: Engaging bonus games, Progressive Jackpot Games are special features that can trigger a huge win that players are truly excited about.
With our amazing Progressive Jackpot Series Games players get a chance of winning huge amounts while all they must do, is just Spin and Win!
While operators have no risk whatsoever as we are taking all the risk on us!
* Comfortable UI: The access to the game, how it looks, how the settings are displayed are a huge thing. The user interface must be very easy to use, must contain the game rules and features about the game so that players can easily access it and engage deeply in the game.
What is your favorite game in Fugaso’s portfolio so far, and why?
My favorite game personally is Cleopatra’s Diary as I love the Egyptian style of Art, engaging characters and unique features that it has. This game was in the Finals of the Ask Gamblers Awards as the best new slot for 2019.
But to be honest I think Trump It Deluxe is the true gem in our portfolio.
It has interesting, ballsy characters that you have never seen before, 3 types of bonus games which allows players to engage fully and see different sides to this game and on top of it all, this game is one of our Progressive Jackpot Games, meaning every spin you play, can be the one to trigger one of our 3 level Jackpots, which are now together are over 750,000€
Can you share the inside scoop on the slot production schedule for Fugaso in 2020? How many new games should fans expect? Are there any teasers regarding certain releases?
Exciting times are ahead as this year we will be launching at least 10 more intriguing titles in addition to our current portfolio of 70 HTML5 video slots, amongst those titles we will be having a sequel to our Trump It Deluxe & The Mummy video slots which gained lots of recognition and now they are coming back with a twist, so stay tuned as this year will blow you away!
