The deal gives the 18-month-old studio access to one of the world’s highest-traffic gambling platforms as it accelerates distribution across international markets.
Slot studios founded in the past two years have increasingly targeted high-volume global operators as their primary distribution route, bypassing traditional aggregator-only strategies. ScatterKings confirmed a content deal with Stake on 15 October 2026, bringing its full catalogue of game world franchises to the platform.
ScatterKings portfolio added to Stake’s game library
Under the agreement, ScatterKings has integrated several of its game world collections into Stake’s library, including the Coins Forged In, Gold Luck, Gold Lock and Fruity Fridays series. Recent releases, Coins of Cleo 2, 3 Ying-Yang Fortunes and Wolf vs Piggies, are also available to players from launch, with further titles confirmed for a phased rollout.
The studio’s content is built around persistent thematic franchises, evolving characters and mechanics across successive releases to support long-term player retention. Its production pipeline uses cloud-native, AI-assisted tooling to maintain consistent release schedules and ease of technical integration for operator partners.
Stake, licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority and ranked first among gambling platforms globally by web traffic visit volume, operates in 15 languages and supports both fiat and cryptocurrency payments. The platform offers slots, live dealer games, sports betting and poker.
Studio background and distribution strategy
ScatterKings was founded in 2024 by three former senior figures from NOVOMATIC’s interactive division — Steven Batchelor-Manning as Chief Technology Officer, Boro Brumen as Chief Product Officer, and Steven Cross as Chief Commercial Officer. The studio launched publicly in November 2025 and has since signed content agreements with aggregators including Hub88, Silverspin and St8, as well as entering Denmark through a direct deal with RoyalCasino following approval from the Danish Gambling Authority (Spillemyndigheden).
The Stake partnership is the studio’s most prominent direct-operator deal to date.
Speaking about the agreement, Steven Cross, Chief Commercial Officer at ScatterKings, said:
‘Our focus is on creating distinctive game worlds that players recognise and want to return to, combining proven mechanics with our own twists to build franchises that stay familiar while continuing to feel fresh. This partnership is another major step forward as we bring our games to more players and continue to expand ScatterKings’ international reach.’
