Picture this: every gaming exhibition, from the ICE London to the SiGMA Europe and the IGb Live, Chicken was stealing the show. It became the talk of the town, especially for new operators eager to join forces with us. Over 600 operators have incorporated Chicken into their platforms, and each case has proven to be a resounding success for our partners.
Let’s crunch some numbers that speak louder than words. Rewind to the end of 2022, when the sum of bets placed on Chicken shot up by 35% compared to the previous period. At the same time, the deals to acquire our mini-games library were picking up the pace, attracting various new interested parties. With Chicken making waves at ICE London 2022 and iGB Live 2022, operators couldn’t help but take notice. So, the interest snowballed, prompting even more operators to jump on the Chicken bandwagon.
The numbers don’t lie. In the first quarter of 2023, Chicken witnessed a 41% growth in betting volume compared to the previous quarter, and the second quarter saw a 61% increase.
