We recently caught a new name on our games provider radar: INO Games. The studio has been launched by iGaming veteran, Games Global, and it's sure to catch the attention of online casino operators and players alike.
We took a moment to talk to Franciani Roos Bordignon, founder and COO of INO Games, who walked us through the story behind the brand and its vision for the future.
Hi, Franciani! Can you please introduce yourself to our players?
Hello! My name is Franciani Roos and I'm the founder and COO of INO Games. I have a creative background in Illustration, Art Direction and Game Design, and over 10 years of experience in the iGaming industry. After delivering several different titles for big companies like Skywind Group and Pokerstars, in 2017 I started my own studio that became INO Games in 2019. My main responsibility here has always been leading to transform our innovative ideas into fun, engaging and exciting experiences.
Help us get to know your studio a bit more: what is your guiding philosophy, and what is your main focus?
Sure! INO Games is a game studio located in the beautiful island of Florianópolis, south of Brazil. From the beginning, together with my partner Benny Davidovich, we have aimed to encourage creative freedom in bringing new and bold games to the industry. We may be a young team of original minds, but we try to mix and match great industry experience with passion for new mechanics, unique graphics, storytelling and immersive experiences to our games. We are certainly ambitious in all of that, always looking for game changing ideas to revolutionize the iGaming industry.
What are the benefits of entering the market as part of an industry giant like Games Global?
Developing games like these certainly brings scary challenges to the table, especially for new studios in an ever more competitive market, and from the start we knew that getting our games to the right players was vital to our success. Collaborating with Games Global gave us the opportunity to reach these through their wide distribution network and sales channels, allowing us to focus on what we are truly passionate about: innovative and exciting games. We are grateful to be part of an organization that understands and supports our vision.
We know bringing new things to the table in iGaming is hard. What are you bringing in terms of features and design in your slots?
You can expect a different approach to the slots formula on all our games, because we are always on the lookout for ideas that could potentially become game features and center points. Our previously release, Leprechaun Strike™, is a 1-reel slot with a climb mechanic, which allows the player to accumulate money in the cashpot and cashout at any moment. Our latest release, Bling Bling Penguin™, has just recently been released and is and already exceeded expectations. The game has the popular Link&Win™ feature but with a twist of a special sliding feature to gamble free spins - not to mention an original rap song that was written and recorded in the studio.
Tell us a bit about your plans for the coming period; how many games are in the pipeline, do you intend to showcase your games in iGaming conferences, etc.?
We have some innovative and exciting games coming out in 2023. Not only do we expect to more releases this year, but we can’t wait to show what is planned for 2024. If you love having fun with innovative mechanics and immersive experiences, stay tuned for INO games and you won’t be disappointed. And please, be sure to come and visit us on the Games Global stands at the key industry events throughout the year!
Thank you, Fran, for giving us the opportunity to learn more about INO Games! We're looking forward to hearing more from you in the future.
