Newly launched Curious Games have now officially entered the online casino industry after a deal with famous content aggregator and supplier, Relax Gaming.
According to the terms of the partnership, the new developer will join Relax Gaming’s Silver Bullet programme. The programme enables independent game developers to both publish and distribute their content via Relax’s extensive network of operators and licensed markets. By enrolling in the programme, Curious Games is allowed global distribution.
At the same time, the studio will also be able to exercise full creative control over the creation and concept of its games. The company was formed by a merging of interactive entertainment experts and creative talents who are accustomed to the very large scale productions of Hollywood. Some of those productions were recognized with Oscar and BAFTA awards.
Relax Gaming provides operating entities across various international markets with online casino games and aggregation services. The Silver Bullet initiative was designed as an empowering means for budding studios that aim to carve a niche in the fast-growing gaming industry.
Through the scheme, developers obtain a variety of tools such as integration into Relax’s operator network, deregulation advisory and exposure to its distribution platform that is active in multiple licensed jurisdictions. Jennifer Buttigieg, the commercial and partnership head at Relax Gaming, said that partnering is in line with the company’s overall strategy of supporting studios capable of introducing new ideas and creativity to the industry.
Buttigieg said:
Curious Games represents exactly the kind of ambitious and creative studio we are proud to support through our Silver Bullet programme.
She mentioned that it is the professional experience in the movie and entertainment industry of the team that most influences their artistic method to designing casino games.
Primarily, Curious Games aims at developing first-class slots with exceptional production quality. Such games will be designed with a visually awe-inspiring cinematic style while also including new and modern gameplay features that are oriented towards today’s digital casino players. Besides great games, the firm also emphasizes that the main factor for player engagement will be through visually stunning experiences with interactive gameplay.
