Felix Gaming is a Bulgarian-born online casino game developer that has carved a distinctive niche by blending the tactile excitement of land-based casinos with modern digital gameplay. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, the company draws on the deep land‑based casino expertise of its founding team—professionals with approximately two decades of experience in the physical gaming world. This heritage informs every slot they create, aiming to deliver an “immersive” experience that replicates the atmosphere and mechanics of brick‑and‑mortar venues. Since its launch, Felix Gaming has released over 70 titles, with its standout game “It’s a Joker” consistently ranking among the top 10 slots across multiple online casinos. The portfolio is grounded in classic themes—fruits, Ancient Egypt, magic, and Asian motifs—alongside original innovations such as a special in‑game promotion tool that operators can leverage. The company currently holds a Curaçao gaming licence and is pursuing an MGA (Malta Gaming Authority) licence to expand its regulatory footprint. Felix Gaming’s games are available through the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, enabling fast integration for casino operators. The provider also supports cryptocurrency gameplay, reflecting its forward‑looking approach. Under the leadership of founder and CEO Bilyan Balinoff, Felix Gaming continues to grow its library, form strategic partnerships, and enhance player engagement through features that echo the “missing elements” of traditional casinos.
