Independent slots studio Thunderkick is setting its sights on the Latin American market after going live in Mexico with Rushbet, an online casino and sportsbook operated by Rush Street Interactive, Inc. (NYSE: RSI) (“RSI”), a U.S. based company.

Players in Mexico will now be able to enjoy the provider’s renowned portfolio of games, including Midas Golden Touch, Esqueleto Explosivo 2 and Carnival Queen.

Rushbet is a proven and respected online casino and sportsbook in the Mexican market, being named as the best sportsbook operator of the year at 2021’s SBC Latinoamérica Awards and boasting the largest collection of games in the region.

The agreement marks Thunderkick’s first entry into Latin America, a key market within the industry. It follows recent deals with Germany’s Interwetten and the UK’s Jumpman Gaming, signalling worldwide expansion and upwards growth for the studio.

Fredrik Ekholm, Head of Sales at Thunderkick said: “We’re thrilled to be expanding into Latin America with Rushbet, one of the market’s most exciting and renowned operators.

“Not only is the LatAm market a key focus for us, but this partnership will also see more players than ever enjoying our fantastic collection of games. We’re excited to see what Rushbet’s player base thinks!”

Richard Schwartz, CEO at RSI’s Rushbet said: “Thunderkick has a truly innovative portfolio of slots that we’re delighted to be bringing to Rushbet. Their approach to slot-making is refreshing and we fully expect our players to enjoy the entertaining games.”

“We have every confidence that this partnership will be a successful one, and we’re honoured to be welcoming Thunderkick to Latin America.”
