FBM shares 2022 recap; commits to "strong" investment in slots and bingo in 2023

FBM has shared its 2022 recap. The global gaming brand says it saw the results of its hard work with a fast-paced recovery in all sectors of the business during these past 12 months, as the sector leaves the worst days of the pandemic behind.

Throughout 2022, steps were taken in order to meet market demands, increase customer satisfaction and create a positive impact in various communities across the globe. Between major expansion advances, new partnerships, games, solidarity initiatives, an increase in employment and partnership deals, “it was a year of big wins for FBM," the company stated. 

As it overcame the effects of the pandemic, FBM was able to regain momentum in 2022, turning out to be one of the best years so far for the firm. On the land-based world, the FBM Xtreme brand "confirmed the group’s planned positioning for the slots segment" with the Mythic Link product expansion in Mexico and the introduction of Rainbow Falls and Viva Mexico as new titles of the FBM Easy$Money Link pack.

FBM reserved other novelties for the last quarter with the debut of FMB Spin & Win and Jin Qián Link, two thematic slots products in G2E Las Vegas. In terms of cabinets, Galaxy II registered “an outstanding success among customers, because of its innovative and user-friendly software, as well as its versatile configurations.”

In the video bingo category, FBM’s Progressive Series collection grew its portfolio of games with titles such as Multi Mega, Multi Plus, Viva Mexico or Golden Ball. Besides the diverse pack of games with a Multipots bonus, FBM launched several restyles during the past 12 months, “making a huge impact in the bingo fans of the Mexican and Filipino markets.”

“Underwater Riches and Bingolicious are two examples of games that now have new graphics and fresh bonuses ready to engage players,” the company noted. 

2022 was also a year of great jackpots in terms of fairs and tradeshows as FBM participated in various events across Europe and abroad, such as FIJMA Madrid, Expojoc and G2E Las Vegas, showcasing its offers to thousands of visitors, thus creating meaningful connections with target audiences.

The company also was involved in charity work initiatives throughout the year, "building the resources to create a better world" through sustainable peace and support. In 2022, the FBM Foundation helped numerous communities who are suffering and struggling with malnutrition,  poverty, lack of education and with the effects of wars worldwide. 

Throughout the year, several actions took place, such as the distribution of essential kits in Marikina, the $10,000 donation and construction of a campaign hospital to support Ukraine, the goods distribution to the Quezon Elementary School in Manila, Blood Donation Campaign in Pasig, and more.

“The tremendous efforts the group and its brands have made over the past months have shown remarkable results, but the impetus will not stop there,” the company assured, and explained that 2023 will see "strong" investment in slots, with new products coming up under the FBM Xtreme brand. 

“The strategy for the next year also includes a clear drive to continue bringing innovation and engaging products to the bingo category in order to consolidate FBM’s global leadership in this market,” the company concluded.
