Highlight Games Limited has partnered with Bulletproof Games to create a slot title centered on Italian football. The project focuses on Serie A content for the Italian market, with Yggdrasil Gaming handling deployment.
Highlight Games will provide licensed video material from its Serie A archive, while Bulletproof Games will design and build the slot using this content. Once ready, Yggdrasil Gaming will distribute it to operators in Italy.
Archive Serie A Footage to Power New Slot
The foundation of the upcoming title lies in Highlight Games’ extensive archive of Serie A match footage. The company has built a portfolio of gaming products using historical football video, primarily within virtual sports and instant win formats.
Under the agreement, Bulletproof Games will gain access to this material and integrate it into a slot format designed specifically for the Italian audience. The game will incorporate video clips from the archive as part of its visual presentation and gameplay structure.
The move signals a step beyond Highlight Games’ established virtual sports products, allowing its football content to appear in a different category of casino games. Through this approach, the company intends to broaden the application of its licensed sports footage.
Once completed, Yggdrasil Gaming will distribute the slot across its network in Italy. The platform will handle the deployment of the product to operators, making the game available within the country’s regulated online gaming market.
Expanding Sports Content Beyond Virtual Sports
Executives from both companies said the partnership builds on existing strengths in sports-based gaming and slot development.
Steven Holmes, CEO, Highlight Games said: “I’m delighted to announce this exciting development in our roadmap, which allows us to extend the reach of our premium content beyond virtual sports. SOCCERBET is the number one performing virtual sports product in Italy, and we are confident that the popularity of featuring archive Serie A footage in games will translate equally well into slots and casino environments, as it has already proven to do in sportsbook.”
Highlight Games has previously used football footage in its virtual sports titles, with SOCCERBET standing out as a prominent example in Italy. The company believes that the same type of historical video material can engage players in slot games as well.
Craig Ball, Managing Director, Bulletproof Games added: “This partnership allows us to combine Highlight Games’ rich archive of Serie A content with Bulletproof’s expertise in building engaging slot experiences. We are confident that together we will create a product that will strongly appeal to Italian slots players and look forward to going live later this year.”
Development Timeline and Market Focus
The partners plan to launch the slot later in 2026. Bulletproof Games will lead development while using Highlight Games’ licensed footage. Italy remains the primary market, leveraging Serie A’s familiarity to engage players. By combining football archive clips with slot gameplay, the project brings sports-based visuals into a casino format for regulated operators.
