Games Global: the evolution of Gold Blitz

Since its debut in 2022, Gold Blitz by Fortune Factory Studios has become a standout success in the iGaming industry, carving its place as a signature title within the Games Global portfolio.

CEO Walter Bugno explains why the mechanic’s compelling concept and resounding success have propelled it into franchise territory, inspiring additional titles from other Games Global studios and captivating an ever-growing global audience.

The Origins of Gold Blitz

The Gold Blitz journey began as an evolution of the mechanics introduced in Fortune Factory Studios’ Mask of Amun in 2022. While Mask of Amun showcased distinctive visuals and promising results across key performance metrics, the team recognised an opportunity to refine and elevate the experience. By enhancing the design and optimising gameplay dynamics, Fortune Factory Studios delivered a more engaging and visually striking title

The resulting Gold Blitz captured the thrill of momentum and anticipation, featuring iconic symbols powered by the popular Cash Collect feature. With high-end graphics reminiscent of console gaming, the title set a new standard for immersive design. This breakthrough game launched in late 2022 and rapidly gained traction, solidifying its status as one of the top-performing games in regulated markets.

Expanding the Gold Blitz Universe

The overwhelming success of Gold Blitz inspired a series of sequels, including Gold Blitz Extreme and Gold Blitz Ultimate. These iterations built on the franchise’s core strengths, introducing enhanced mechanics and features that deepened player engagement and attracted both loyal fans and new audiences.

A key strategy driving the franchise’s growth has been its seamless integration with other beloved Games Global titles. Collaborations such as Fishin’ Pots of Gold: Gold Blitz, Blazing Bison Gold Blitz, and Thunderstruck Gold Blitz Extreme marry fan-favourite IPs with the proven Gold Blitz formula. This cross-branding approach not only broadens the series’ appeal but also maximises visibility across diverse player demographics.

Innovation and Strategic Partnerships Fuel Growth

The evolution of Gold Blitz extends beyond game mechanics, with Games Global forging innovative partnerships that have amplified the series’ market presence. Collaborations with globally recognised brands like Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) have introduced high-impact titles such as UFC Gold Blitz Extreme and WWE Bonus Rumble: Gold Blitz.

These games feature iconic personalities like Jon Jones, Amanda Nunes, John Cena, and The Undertaker, bridging the gap between gaming and mainstream entertainment. By aligning with major franchises, Gold Blitz has successfully expanded its audience, attracting both gaming enthusiasts and fans of combat sports and wrestling.

Continuous Innovation: The Foundation of Success

The enduring appeal of Gold Blitz lies in its commitment to continuous innovation. Fortune Factory Studios and Games Global remain steadfast in enhancing the franchise, from improving graphics and animations to refining gameplay mechanics and math models.

Notable innovations in Gold Blitz Ultimate include multipliers of up to 10x, the groundbreaking Blitz Boost feature—which increases the frequency of Blitz symbols—and a customisable bonus buy option that empowers players to tailor their experience. These advancements have set a new benchmark for engagement and excitement.

The Future of Gold Blitz

With its proven success, Gold Blitz is poised for continued growth. Games Global is already developing new titles and features, with plans to introduce the franchise to additional markets through collaborations with partner studios. As the series evolves, its innovative spirit and strategic partnerships will ensure its place as a cornerstone of the Games Global portfolio.

Gold Blitz is no longer just a game—it has become a global gaming phenomenon. As Games Global looks ahead to 2025, the franchise is primed to deliver even greater experiences, captivating players and reinforcing its position as a leader in the iGaming industry.
