Detailed Review
History and Background
FBM was founded in 2001 by Rui Manuel Mendes Francisco in Brazil, during the country's era of legalized bingo. When Brazil later closed its bingo market, the company pivoted to international expansion, leveraging its technology and workforce to enter markets across Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Today, its corporate headquarters are in St. Julians, Malta, while its operational roots remain strong in Brazil and the Philippines.
Business Model and Products
FBM's core business is the design, development, and distribution of land-based casino gaming machines. It manufactures proprietary cabinets such as the Platinum and Champion series, housing video bingo and slot games. The company reports over 40,000 machine installations in more than 800 rooms worldwide, with a library of over 90 game titles including the Spin & Win series. In the digital realm, FBM Digital Systems (FBMDS), led by CEO Roberto Regianini, provides a remote gaming platform and over 80 online games, including slots, bingos, and lotto-style titles. In the Philippines, FBM operates FBM E-Motion, a PAGCOR-licensed platform that aggregates content from multiple providers.
Market Position and Strategy
FBM emphasizes compliance and cultural adaptation, tailoring games and cabinets to local regulations and player preferences. It has achieved certifications in numerous jurisdictions and partners with local operators, such as its February 2026 partnership with PhilWeb Corporation to develop an online platform for PhilWeb's network of 30,000 machines in the Philippines. The company continues to launch new products, including refreshed Spin & Win themes for Mexico and new cabinet models.
