Independent slots studio Thunderkick has launched in Colombia through a partnership with leading operator Luckia.

The new market entry is its second in Latin America following the announcement of a deal with RushBet in Mexico and highlights the developer’s appeal to a rapidly expanding player base in the region.

Luckia is a renowned operator in Colombia having received a licence from Coljeugos in 2018, two years after the legalisation of online gaming in the nation.

Thunderkick’s collaboration will see its collection of online casino games made available to Luckia’s players, including fan-favourites Xterminate, Midas Golden Touch 2 and 12 Bolts of Thunder.

The Stockholm studio outlined ambitious plans earlier this year, including the solidification of its influence on the European igaming scene, as well as furthering its presence across both North and South America.

Mariam Dadosh, account manager at Thunderkick, said: “Expansion across regulated Latin American markets remains a focal point of Thunderkick’s commercial plans and the arrival in Colombia is evidence of our drive to diversify into new jurisdictions.

“Luckia is a trusted operator there and we are delighted to provide them access to a range of our most popular games, aiding them in their mission to provide the optimal customer experience.”

Eloy Fernandez, head of product at Luckia, added: “Thunderkick has been creating unique, immersive games for over a decade and we can’t wait to offer this portfolio to our players.

“Luckia prides itself on prioritising the player and, as a result, consistently updates its offering with state-of-the-art games from the industry’s most acclaimed providers. We are sure players will enjoy the innovation that goes hand-in-hand with Thunderkick titles.”
