2022 unwrapped: how FBM® took over the casino gaming world
Exactly one year ago, FBM®’s main resolution for 2022 was Expansion. In a world negatively impacted by the pandemic, the global gaming brand saw the results of its hard work with a fast-paced recovery in all sectors of the business, winning over the casino industry during these 12 intense months.
Throughout 2022, impressive steps were taken by the FBM® Group in order to meet market demands, increase customer satisfaction and create a positive impact in various communities across the globe. Between major expansion advances, new partnerships, innovative games, solidarity initiatives, more employees and relevant partnership deals, it was a year of big wins for FBM®.
Regaining momentum with big wins in 2022
Surpassing the effects caused by the pandemic was no easy task for casino gaming companies. The industry slowed down over the past two years, and market expansion stagnated for some time. However, in 2022 FBM® was able to regain momentum, turning out to be one of the best years for the brand so far.
On the land-based world, the FBM Xtreme® brand confirmed the group’s planned positioning for the slots segment, with the Mythic Link® product expansion in Mexico and the introduction of Rainbow Falls™ and Viva Mexico™ as new titles of the FBM Easy$Money Link™ pack. FBM® reserved other novelties for the last quarter with the debut of FBM Spin & Win and Jin Qián Link™, two thematic slots products in G2E Las Vegas. In terms of cabinets, Galaxy II registered an outstanding success among customers, because of its innovative and user-friendly software, as well as its versatile configurations.
In the video bingo category, FBM®’s Progressive Series collection grew its portfolio of games with titles such as Multi Mega™, Multi Plus™, Viva Mexico™ or Golden Ball™. Besides the diverse pack of games with a Multipots bonus, FBM® launched several restyles during the past 12 months making a huge impact in the bingo fans of the Mexican and Filipino markets. Underwater Riches™ and Bingolicious™ are two examples of games that now have new graphics and fresh bonuses ready to engage players.
2022 was also a year of great jackpots in terms of fairs and tradeshows, as FBM®️ participated in various events across Europe and abroad, such as FIJMA Madrid, Expojoc and G2E Las Vegas, showcasing its innovative offers to thousands of visitors, thus creating meaningful connections with target audiences.
FBM Foundation’s humanitarian help only grew in 2022
Building the resources to create a better world, where sustainable peace and support can become common practices among volunteers and organizations has always been a goal for FBM®️ and FBM Foundation, and in 2022 the group has helped numerous communities who are suffering and struggling with malnutrition, poverty, lack of education and with the effects of wars worldwide.
Throughout the year, several actions took place, such as the essential kits distribution in Marikina, the 10.000$ donation and construction of a campaign hospital to support Ukraine, the goods distribution to the Quezon Elementary School in Manila, the Blood Donation Campaign in Pasig along with the Red Cross, the support to chronic patients at the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon with Kythe Foundation, the emergency response in Isabela Province with General Touch, the charity action in Payatas with Fairplay for All, the typhoon Paeng relief operation in Noveleta, and the Feeding Program initiative in Dasmariñas.
The only way is up for the FBM®️ Group
The tremendous efforts the group and its brands have made over the past months have shown remarkable results but the impetus will not stop here. Next year, the strong investment in slots will continue, with new products coming up under the FBM Xtreme®️ brand with engaging graphics and exciting features that players will love. The strategy for the next year also includes a clear drive to continue bringing innovation and engaging products to the bingo category in order to consolidate FBM®️’s global leadership on this market.
Apart from the much-aimed global expansion into new land-based casino rooms in several countries, the casino iGaming universe will also be a top priority for the group, through boosting FBMDS™️’ most recent blow-up and by providing players with a unique remote solution which will astonish bingo fans in the Philippines.

SBC Summit’s INFINITY Lisbon Levels Up with Timmy Trumpet on the Decks

Blending classical training, jazz roots, and EDM firepower, Timmy Trumpet will take the stage at the INFINITY Lisbon closing party with a high-energy set that promises to close SBC Summit with a bang.
Taking place on Thursday, September 18th at the MEO Arena—which serves as the Super Stage during the day—the venue will transform into the ultimate party setting for the Australian DJ and producer, widely regarded as one of the most explosive live performers in EDM.
Known for his trumpet solos and crowd-hyping energy, his headline set will be open to VIP attendees and complimentary operator and affiliate pass holders.
“The Greatest Show in Gaming couldn’t happen without the greatest showman in EDM! Jokes aside, no one brings the fire quite like Timmy Trumpet,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC. “He’s that rare artist who can blend high-energy drops with live instrumentation and still keep the crowd bouncing from start to finish.”
Timmy Trumpet’s musical journey began at just four years old when he picked up the trumpet. By thirteen, he was named Young Musician of the Year and earned a full scholarship to the Conservatorium of Music, studying under the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Anthony Heinrich. Within two years, he became the lead soloist for the Australian All-Star Stage Band, touring Europe and performing at some of the world’s top jazz festivals.
His evolution into the electronic music scene came naturally, blending live trumpet with high-energy EDM—culminating in his breakout hit Freaks in 2014, which has since surpassed a billion streams across all platforms and contributed to a discography that has amassed over 5 billion streams worldwide.
Trumpet’s Tomorrowland debut in 2017 remains the most-streamed set in the festival’s history. In 2024, he reached a new career high, ranking 5th on DJ Mag’s Top 100. That same year, he closed the main stage at Tomorrowland in both Belgium and Brazil—his Belgium set becoming the most-viewed performance of the year and further cementing his legacy as one of the festival’s most iconic acts.
The DJ’s genre-blending style and electrifying energy have also led to collaborations with some of the biggest names in electronic music. His discography includes powerhouse tracks with global stars like Steve Aoki, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, KSHMR, R3HAB, W&W, and ALOK, among others.
“We already announced Alok last month as part of the INFINITY Lisbon lineup, and now confirming Timmy Trumpet means we’ll have two powerhouse DJs headlining the closing party—an experience I’m sure our attendees will truly appreciate,” said Sojmark.
This won’t be the first time SBC event attendees are treated to electrifying DJ performances. The tradition began last September during the debut edition of SBC’s flagship show in Lisbon, with headline acts including Darude, Miss Monique, and Don Diablo. It continued earlier this year at SBC Summit Rio, where Afrojack and Brazilian duo Dubdogz brought the energy behind the decks. Next, the tradition heads to SBC Summit Americas, where Steve Aoki will headline the INFINITY Florida closing party in Fort Lauderdale.
“It’s becoming a tradition—and one that both we at SBC and our delegates absolutely love,” Sojmark added. “Industry events are fantastic in so many ways. But they’re also demanding. Closing them with world-class acts creates an experience that’s both celebratory and memorable, which is exactly what SBC Summit is all about.
SBC Summit will return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena on 16–18 September. Set to welcome 30,000 industry professionals from around the world, the event will offer three days of in-depth educational content, a comprehensive exhibition floor, and networking opportunities.
