Creator of Slingo expands portfolio with bespoke slot titles focused on innovation and player experience
Gaming Realms, the creator of the Slingo gaming format, has announced its entry into the slots market with the launch of a new in-house studio, Lucky Lunar. The move marks a significant expansion of the company’s product offering, as it looks to bring its creative expertise and player-first philosophy into the wider iGaming slots space.
Backed by Gaming Realms’ extensive industry experience, Lucky Lunar has been established with a clear ambition to deliver innovative, bespoke slot titles that push creative and mechanical boundaries. The studio will combine proven Slingo elements with familiar casino mechanics, aiming to create distinctive gameplay experiences that resonate with modern players. 
Lucky Lunar’s games are designed to stand out through a combination of striking visuals, imaginative themes and engaging features, offering players a sense of discovery and excitement with every spin.
The studio’s debut title, Rise of Aztec, is scheduled for release in early February. The game will introduce a new proprietary mechanic, Lock & Slingo™, which blends traditional Hold & Win gameplay with Slingo mechanics to deliver enhanced engagement and rewarding play.
Following the initial release, Lucky Lunar plans to roll out a series of new titles throughout 2026, each designed to reflect the studio’s focus on creativity, originality and performance-led game design.
The launch of Lucky Lunar significantly diversifies Gaming Realms’ content portfolio and reinforces its position as a leading global supplier of innovative and original iGaming content.
Suki Sandhu, Chief Product Officer at Gaming Realms, said the new studio is built around delivering memorable player experiences.
“At Lucky Lunar, we believe every game should spark curiosity and delight,” Sandhu said. “Our signature comet icon represents our mission to move fast, shine bright and bring something genuinely new to the online gaming market. We are focused on creating standout real-money games that combine distinctive features, strong storytelling and solid performance, and we’re incredibly excited to share our content with the world.”
Mark Segal, Chief Executive Officer at Gaming Realms, described the launch as a key milestone for the business.
“Launching Lucky Lunar is a major step forward for Gaming Realms as we enter the slots space for the first time,” Segal said. “It elevates our overall proposition and positions us for continued global growth as we move into 2026. We have ambitious plans for both Lucky Lunar and Gaming Realms, and this is just the beginning.”
