FBM slots are now Xtreme
FBM is launching FBM Xtreme – a new brand that expresses the ambition for the landbased slots segment! After a few years developing spin reel games for different markets across the world, FBM wants to reinforce the commitment with this specific game type by launching FBM Xtreme – a brand that personalizes its vision to develop the slots of the future.
The first chapters of FBMÂŽs history in the casino industry are deeply connected with the bingo games. Nowadays the video bingo is still the game type where FBM raises more awareness by being the leader in different markets. A few years ago, the brand started its slots adventure and, since then, it developed several titles and product lines – Ways, Easy$Link and Multi-Game.
Rui Francisco, FBMÂŽs founder, explains the reason behind the creation of FBM Xtreme. âWe are a full solution provider performing in the casino industry for more than 20 years with success. After expanding FBMÂŽs video bingo footprint in different geographies with an innovative approach, we intend to build a similar legacy in the slots segment. This vanguardist, futurist, evolutionist and bold vision that we have for the slots products is the reason behind the creation of the FBM Xtreme brandâ, affirms the FBM founder.
FBM Xtreme wants to transfer four main pillars from its brand to the product: future, evolution, vanguard, boldness. The FBM Xtreme brand will be visible in all the slots games developed by FBM for the landbased universe. The casino cabinets will also have an appointment referring to this new brand. The slots segment is a priority for FBM in 2021, and the Multi-Game expansion in several markets is the proof of this commitment.
FBM is a global gaming brand that has conquered the landbased casino market since 2001. Established in different Asian, North American and European nations, the brand conquered the leadership of the video bingo market and is committed to reinventing the spin reels segment. The launch of FBM Xtreme is one more step in this solid and ambitious path that the brand designed for the near future.
