Gaming Realms signs SIS licensing deal to build Slingo 49’s game

Gaming Realms has signed a licensing agreement with SIS to develop a Slingo title based on SIS’s fixed-odds live numbers draw product, 49’s. The companies announced the deal on 2nd July 2026.

The agreement marks the first time SIS has licensed IP from its numbers portfolio, according to the companies. A Slingo version is scheduled to launch in July 2026, incorporating 49’s branding, theme tune and live presenters within the game.

Gaming Realms said the game will use its Slingo mechanic, with players spinning a reel to match numbers on a board and progress up a “Slingo ladder” for increasing prizes. Slingo 49’s will be distributed to Gaming Realms’ global operator partners, with the companies highlighting the strongest appeal in the UK and Africa.

Gareth Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Realms, said: “Partnering with SIS to bring the iconic 49’s and Slingo together is a fascinating collaboration. The 49’s live draw is an adjacent gaming vertical and one of the most popular numbers products internationally, with a loyal following built over decades.

Jess Mills, Head of 49’s at SIS, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Gaming Realms to bring 49’s to life in a completely new format. The 49’s live draws have an extraordinary heritage and a passionate, global fanbase, so the decision to license our IP was not one we took lightly. Gaming Realms’ track record with Slingo gave us every confidence that this was the right partnership to make that step.

“Slingo is the ideal vehicle to introduce 49’s to a new player vertical, while keeping the authenticity that existing fans love at the heart of the experience.”
