Thunderkick, a slot developer that has recently made its debut in the U.S. market by releasing games on the High 5 sweepstakes casino, is now expanding its presence in North America with the introduction of its slots in real money online casinos in Ontario.

Thunderkick’s games can now be played by Ontario players on LeoVegas and PokerStars’ online casino platforms. The Swedish developer has identified the region as a key focus for 2024 as it joins the competitive Ontario online casino market. Players in Ontario can also take advantage of a PokerStars bonus code.

Thunderkick’s Chief Commercial Officer, Svante Sahlström, expressed excitement about the company’s debut in North American real-money markets with the launch of their games in Ontario. Sahlström highlighted the importance of catering to the specific needs of major industry players like PokerStars and LeoVegas by tailoring their Ontario roadmaps accordingly.

“We will make some of our most popular games available to players immediately,” he said. “Then, we will gradually release the rest of our portfolio during the second half of the year.”

Many Thunderkick games are set to be featured on Canadian online casino platforms in the coming month, including popular slots such as Beat the Beast: Dragon’s Wrath, 12 Bolts of Thunder, Midas Golden Touch Reborn, and Xterminate.

Sahlström stated in a recent press release that there is a significant amount of untapped potential in North America. He also mentioned that with more Canadian provinces and U.S. states regulating the industry, Thunderkick has a great opportunity to expand its reach.
