Slot developer Thunderkick is making its first foray into the US social casino market through a new partnership with High 5 Casino.

The supplier has integrated its games with High 5 Casino’s free-to-play offering, including titles such as Pink Elephants and Sword of Khan.

The launch has been facilitated by Thunderkick’s existing relationship with Relax Gaming, with High 5 Casino the first customer to benefit from the collaboration and more brands expected to follow in the coming months.

“Entering the sweepstakes market and partnering with High 5 Casino is a significant milestone for Thunderkick,” said Thunderkick chief commercial officer Svante Sahlström. “We are excited to introduce our games to US players for the first time and to explore the potential of this market segment.

“This collaboration allows us to showcase our innovative content to a wider audience and deliver an engaging gaming experience that closely resembles real money gambling. We are confident that our partnership with High 5 Casino will be a successful one, and we look forward to working with them to bring our games to players across the United States.”

High 5 Games vice president of creative Jerry Wilson added: “Thunderkick’s games have proven to be very popular in Europe and we are excited about helping them launch, not only in the US for the first time, but with social players too.

“We’re sure our players will take to these titles, and they will become fan favourites in no time at all. We’re delighted about the launch of our new partnership.”
