“The year 2020 was a test of resilience to FBM as a global gaming brand. If, on the one hand, physical casinos closed and reopened according to the health context, on the other hand online casinos registered an increasing demand and, in this way, the behavior of the players is changing.
In view of this complex scenario, I make a positive assessment of the FBM's response. We kept jobs and wages, honored the commitments defined in the roadmap and made a serious investment in the development of new products.
We were thus able to start 2021 with two expansion processes in land-based slot games: one in Mexico with the first MultiGame product from FBM, already installed in about 30 gaming halls, and another in the Philippines with the Easy$Link game pack, marking the beginning of a new era for FBM spin games.
During the bingo, several games won new graphics and new types of bonuses, with the new versions of Arctic Blast, RacinGo and Bingolicious already on the Mexican market.
In the online market, we recently obtained the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) license under the FBM DS brand, which will allow us to grow faster in the sector. In addition, we closed deals with new casinos and increased the portfolio of roller and table games.
The scenario for 2021 remains unpredictable, but the plan is to continue the expansion processes and develop new bingo and slot products. In Online we have several news reserved, we want to expand the portfolio of games available and finish 2021 with our games available in more than 100 casinos. In addition to all this, the exploration of other markets continues on the horizon of FBM and we are already working on another project from the ground up for a new European market.”
