Slot developer Thunderkick, which recently entered the U.S. market by launching games on the High 5 sweepstakes casino, continues its expansion through North America with a debut of its slots in real money online casinos in Ontario. 

The Swedish developer’s games are now available to Ontario players on LeoVegas and PokerStars’ online casino platforms. Thunderkick highlighted the region as a key focus area for 2024 as it enters a competitive Ontario online casino market. Players in Ontario can also benefit from a PokerStars bonus code.

“We are delighted to launch our games in Ontario, marking our debut in North American real-money markets," Thunderkick Chief Commercial Officer Svante Sahlström told Ziv Chen of Sportsbook Review. “PokerStars and LeoVegas are two major global players in the industry, and we have tailored our Ontario roadmaps to cater to the individual needs of each operator."

"Some of our most popular games will be instantly available to players," he added, "and we will then roll out the remainder of our portfolio throughout the second half of the year.”

Most Thunderkick games are scheduled to appear on Canadian online casino platforms within a month, with slots like Beat the Beast: Dragon’s Wrath, 12 Bolts of Thunder, Midas Golden Touch Reborn, and Xterminate expected to be some of the first available. 

“There is a huge amount of unlocked potential in North America," Sahlström said in a general press release, "and as more Canadian provinces and U.S. states become regulated, there is a fantastic opportunity for Thunderkick to expand further.”
