In this exclusive CasinosSpot interview, we speak with Renato Almeida, Director at FBMDS, about the company’s vision, product strategy, and approach to innovation in the iGaming industry. Renato shares insights into FBMDS’s key strengths, current focus areas, and what players and partners can expect from the brand moving forward.

1. How has FBMDS evolved since its launch, and what milestones do you consider the most significant?

Since its launch, FBMDS has evolved from a specialized video bingo developer into a multi-product B2B gaming provider with a strong presence across regulated markets.

A key milestone was obtaining iGaming certification in Brazil, which reinforced our commitment to compliance and opened the door to one of the most important regulated markets in LATAM.

At the same time, we expanded our portfolio with the release of the Infinity Series video bingos, introducing new jackpot mechanics and refreshed game mathematics, and are now releasing new games on the Titan and Sublime Series slot collections, along with new crash gaming experiences from the Momentum Series.

Another significant step in our evolution has been the strengthening of B2B partnerships. We have been developing new promotional tools and strategies for the online casino operators.

The tournament tool, the mystery drops and the redesign of free bets are three good examples of how we are tying bonds with online casinos.

Through mystery drops, for example, we reward free bets that players can enjoy later and use to qualify for new tournaments. This enhances the gaming experience, making it more engaging and appealing, thereby strengthening FBMDS presence in players preferences.

The aim is to create synergies that enable operators to integrate multiple tools and fully leverage FBMDS game content, gaining new solutions to retain players and offer an improved entertainment experience.

Infinity Series – FBMDS

2. FBMDS is strongly associated with Video Bingo. What makes this category such an important part of your identity?

Video Bingo is at the core of the FBM Group DNA. FBM was a pioneer in developing games for this category in the land-based universe and has built deep expertise by understanding both the market dynamics and player behaviour over many years.

This expertise accelerated the launch of video bingo online through the FBMDS brand.

Features like Magic Ball, combined with attractive bonuses, quickly made an impact in operators; lobbies, helping the success of iconic titles such as Multi Mega Bingo, Sapphire Fever, Multi Champion and Rubingo.

However, at FBMDS, we wanted to go beyond and bring something new for the online audience. Consequently, we have continued to evolve video bingo through new jackpot systems, innovative game mathematics and modernized mechanics.

This new vision for the video bingo category was materialized in the Infinity Series: a collection that keeps the genre fresh, competitive, and highly engaging for today’s players while maintaining the familiarity they value.

Titan Series slot – FBMDS

3. Among your slot releases, which titles have resonated the most with players, and what do you think drives their success?

Our Titan Series slot titles have been generating strong attention and engagement across multiple operators.

Games like Power Gacha and Desert Gold have shown excellent performance thanks to their balanced volatility, attractive bonus mechanics and clear value proposition for both players and operators.

In parallel, the Sublime Series has proven highly effective at capturing players’ attention through strong visual identity and thematic appeal.

Titles such as Panda Treasure and Piñata Pop stand out for their colorful design, approachable gameplay and broad market appeal, making them particularly effective acquisition and retention tools.

Momentum Series – FBMDS

4. You offer a diverse product range from slots to crash games. Which segment is growing fastest right now?

Currently, the slots category demonstrates the strongest growth. However, the iGaming offer is constantly evolving, and there is always room to expand and explore new market opportunities, whether in slots, crash themes, video bingos, lottos, or table games.

The slots segment is largely driven by the wide range of mechanics available in the market, the unpredictability of the gameplay experience and the diversity of payout levels, all of which keep players engaged over longer sessions.

This focus is reflected in the FBMDS collections, such as the Titan Series and the Sublime Series, which have performed particularly well.

Nevertheless, more important than the category is how brands capitalize on their next product launch. On FBMDS, we take this very seriously and develop promotional strategies and tools to help online operators on this mission.

Tournaments and special promotions inside and outside the game are important add-ons to the product feature set, with direct impact on the individual performance of each title and the category growth.

Regarding product evolution, FBMDS is expanding its portfolio with a hybrid approach. On one hand, we aim to harness trending categories like online slots or crash. On the other hand, we concentrate on the overall game experience by developing tools that help operators retain players and enhance performance, thereby driving the development of game categories.

5. Your games show a clear commitment to polished visuals and smooth UX. How does your creative process achieve this consistency?

The secrets to achieving this consistency are two: a talented team and a partner-first mentality.

Consistency and high performance always start with the right people. FBMDS has now completed five years on a growing trajectory in the iGaming industry.

We have a team of experienced game designers and developers who understand both creative excellence and the product-specific requirements.

Talent by itself is not enough if we do not understand the business and the customer reality. That is where the partner-first mentality makes the difference.

All the game experiences and tools FBMDS has been developing combine the teams bold vision with concrete insights and desires of our customers and partners.

The combination of top-tier talent using cutting-edge technologies with a clear vision of what FBMDS aims for (including clients; and players feedback and insights) has enabled us to deliver compelling online casino games and tools that enhance online casino operators results while providing entertaining gaming sessions for their players.

6. FBMDS is expanding across regulated markets. Which regions are your top priorities for 2026?

For 2026, FBMDS is targeting multiple markets. We are prioritizing geographies with sustained growth, increasing regulatory maturity, and strong demand for high-quality and personalized content.

LATAM remains our top strategic priority, with a strong focus on Brazil.

The European markets are also a major milestone for us over the next year, and we are exploring a few regulated markets in the Asia Pacific region.

7. What makes cooperation with FBMDS attractive for operators?

FBMDS is now an established brand in the iGaming industry, with five years of proven experience and steady growth.

We began by offering only video bingos and quickly expanded our game portfolio, developed strategic and promotional tools to enhance our game content, entered new markets, and formed partnerships worldwide.

Our experienced and talented team and our partner-first approach are the main factors differentiating us.

We have the expertise, ambition, vision, and mindset to keep delivering innovative online casino games and promotional tools that elevate casino operators results and deliver gaming experiences that make their clients want to come back for more.

Cooperation with FBMDS goes beyond content integration.

We have more to offer than the slots from the Sublime Series, the video bingos from the Infinity Series, the crash games from the Momentum Series, or the tournament and Mystery Drop tools.

We have a dedicated customer support team ready to help casino operators put the right games, backed by the right tools and promotional strategy, to attract, retain, and delight their players.

And the best part is that we are just 1% done. New slot games and tools are coming to help consolidate FBMDS as the gaming provider that helps your online casino operation achieve sustained growth!
