Thunderkick is an independent Swedish casino game supplier founded in 2012 in Stockholm, built by a small studio determined to chart its own creative path rather than follow industry convention. More than a decade on, the team has grown to over 80 people, with a second corporate office in Floriana, Malta handling the group's MGA and UK Gambling Commission licences, and the portfolio recently passed the 100-game milestone.
The catalogue is built around iconic in-house franchises: the Pink Elephants trilogy, the Esqueleto Explosivo Day-of-the-Dead series, the Midas Golden Touch line, and The Wildos western-outlaw franchise, alongside standalone hits such as Hammerblaze, Alice: Time Rift and Bones & Bounty. All titles are developed entirely in-house and distributed through Thunderkick's own proprietary Remote Gaming Server, integrated with operators including Betway, Bet365, LeoVegas and 888 Casino.
Thunderkick is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and holds an MGA B2B Critical Supply Licence, alongside supplier permits in Sweden, Denmark, Romania, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Ontario, reflecting one of the broader Tier-1 regulatory footprints among independent Swedish slot studios.
