Company profile
researched Aug 2026Kalamba Games is a business-to-business online gambling supplier that develops HTML5 video slot games and supporting casino technology for regulated operators. Its output centres on slot titles built around proprietary mechanics and feature brands such as HyperBonus, HyperBet, Fix&Spin, PrizeTower, K-Cash symbols and K-Gamble, with recent releases including 40 Wild Craze PrizeTower, 3 Wacky Piggies Hold and Win, Jelly Dream Burst, Pyramid Piggies and Ninjaz vs Narcos 2. Alongside game content the company offers integrated promotional tools — for example self-funded Cash Drops promotions whose prizes are drawn from existing RTP and predetermined on bet volumes — and the Bullseye RGS, its remote gaming server for distributing and operating content.
The group operates through Kalamba Games Limited in Zebbug, Malta (company registration C78382) and Kalamba Games Sp. z o.o. in Kraków, Poland, where its production studio is based. Operations are regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority under licence MGA/B2B/861/2020, issued on 11 October 2021, covering Type 1 gaming services. The company also runs a secondary brand, Speedy Tomatoes Entertainment, which produces the Powerpoker video poker collection.
The leadership team comprises CEO and co-founder Steve Cutler, COO and co-founder Alex Cohen, CTO and co-founder Michał Ochman, CCO John Cutler, and functional heads across partnerships, business development, account management, marketing, studio operations, HR and art direction.
