How was your experience at this edition of the SBC Summit Barcelona?

Our experience at the SBC Summit Barcelona was one to remember. Through exciting product launches from FBMDS, a booth filled with entertainment and surprises, and fruitful talks with key players, it was a dynamic and engaging event that brought together the best of the iGaming industry in Spain.

We had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, casino enthusiasts, and valued partners. The enthusiasm and energy were really felt by our teams, and it reaffirmed our commitment to innovation and excellence.

Could you give a brief summary of your participation in the event, in terms of the products exhibited that most attracted the attention of the public, the conferences you attended, and if you were nominated for any awards?

At booth CG36, trade show visitors had the opportunity to engage with the FBMDS team, catch prizes at the entertainment spot we prepared for this event, and meet our diverse portfolio of online casino products. We showcased over 70 online casino games, including world-leading video bingos, slots, table games, and our latest crash game release Champion Tales. Multi Champion FBMDS also had a standout spot at the fair which grabbed everyone’s attention, for the thrilling new product coming out very soon that it is.

In terms of insightful conferences, our Account Manager, Guilherme Graziani, hosted an iGaming Talk on "Cross-Functional Leadership - Same Product, Different Ideas" on September 21st, which was well-received by attendees as it brought some light onto the world of online gaming and its limitless opportunities in terms of competitiveness, disruptiveness, and creativity in the iGaming sector.

What new opportunities did your firm find within the Spanish market?

Our presence at SBC Summit Barcelona reinforced our commitment to the Spanish market. We identified new opportunities to strengthen our position and build lasting relationships with industry leaders and prospective clients.

Spain's unique position as a gateway to European iGaming markets presents exciting prospects for us, and we are dedicated to understanding and serving the distinctive needs of the Spanish audience, based on a personalized and customizable approach with proven know-how.

What were the trend(s) in the Spanish or European iGaming market, and what does this mean for FBMDS?

On one hand, in the Spanish and European iGaming markets, we observed a growing emphasis on non-traditional games, particularly crash games, which have been gaining popularity. This trend aligns with our innovative approach, as evidenced by the launch of Champion Tales and the upcoming Multi Champion FBMDS. On the other hand, in these markets, we also witness a player base that is not just eager but highly strategic and astute in their gaming choices. Both Spanish and other European players exhibit a remarkable understanding of their preferences and are selective about the gaming experiences they engage with.

FBMDS recognizes this as both an opportunity and a challenge. With our strong roots in Latin America and Brazil, we have a unique advantage. We intimately understand the cultural nuances and preferences of the LATAM audience, enabling us to create games that resonate deeply with them. This places us in an exceptional position to cater to the discerning tastes of Spanish players while also aligning our offerings with the wider European market. Our commitment to innovation, coupled with cultural insight, positions us to thrive in this dynamic and demanding landscape.

Future Plans of the Firm for the rest of the year, and upcoming shows you will be attending.

Looking ahead, our focus for the rest of the year is on continued innovation and expansion. We are dedicated to enhancing our game portfolio, with a keen eye on the video bingo sector, where we have a strong leadership position. We will also continue to develop hit crash games that resonate with the market preferences and gaming habits, as well as create captivating slot games based on a localized and tailored approach.

We were present at G2E Las Vegas, scheduled for October 9th to 12th, 2023, at The Venetian Expo. What you can expect from FBMDS and the FBM Group at this international event is the unveiling of exclusive product launches, and connecting with industry professionals in order to further solidify our competitive position in the North American market. We're excited about the opportunities it holds and look forward to contributing to the future of iGaming.
