Prominent developer of innovative iGaming solutions Games Global has enhanced its collaboration with Hard Rock Bet Casino, creating 9 Nekos of Fortune exclusively for the leading New Jersey online casino.
The partnership between the two global iGaming brands has gone from strength to strength in 2025, with Games Global debuting its Bonus Spins promotional tool with the U.S. operator, followed by the release of the bespoke title Hard Rock Splash ‘n Spin Link&Win.
Inspired by Japanese popular culture, 9 Nekos of Fortune was produced by Games Global’s exclusive studio partner Gameburger Studios and crafted to deliver Hard Rock Bet Casino players in the Garden State with a unique experience centered around the iconic maneki-neko.
Gameplay includes the popular Epic Strike feature, which is prominent across the provider’s portfolio, awarding prizes up to a potential 2,000x for landing between three and nine maneki-neko symbols. Three scatters activate the Bonus Spins Wheel, granting between 10 and 30 bonus spins with a 2x or 3x multiplier to boost bonus round payouts.
Leveraging its extensive studio network, Games Global has built a diverse portfolio of bespoke products, ensuring it supplies prominent operators such as Hard Rock Bet Casino with distinct, tailored game environments.
Joann Pierce, Chief Commercial Officer at Games Global, said: “This release signifies Games Global’s intent to strengthen its position in regulated U.S. iCasino markets, where we have committed to delivering content that aligns with player preferences. Hard Rock Bet Casino is a valued partner, and this continued collaboration allows us to support it with custom-built products designed specifically to resonate with players.”
Rich Criado, VP–Casino at Hard Rock Digital, indicated: “At Hard Rock Bet Casino, we take a player-first approach to everything we do, and that means delivering quality experiences our customers have come to expect. Our focus is always on bringing players the most entertaining and rewarding experiences, and titles like Hard Rock Gold Blitz and Iron Eagle Power Combo have quickly proven to be favorites at Hard Rock Bet Casino. The 9 Nekos of Fortune release is another exciting addition that strengthens our offering and gives our New Jersey players even more ways to enjoy premium gameplay.”
