MGM Resorts-owned LeoVegas Group is set to unveil the first game from its new in-house slot development studio.
LeoVegas Studio is led by the former creative director of Light & Wonder, Mats Andersson, and aims to leverage player data to develop group-exclusive medium-volatility games.
The new studio’s debut title, Where Pigeons Dare, is set to be released on 25 September, with a further three titles expected to launch before the end of this year.
The group said the launch of the in-house studio is a “logical step” in its strategy to strengthen control over the value chain within the iGaming ecosystem.
“LeoVegas Studios is a fantastic addition to the Group!” said James Ford, director of games at LeoVegas Group. “With enhanced creative freedom and technical control, we are now positioned to forge our own path and develop exclusive, innovative games that align with our vision and meet our players’ evolving needs.
“Where Pigeons Dare is just the beginning, our future lineup will continue to captivate and push the boundaries of entertainment.”
