Kalamba Games

History & Founding

Kalamba Games was established in 2016 by Steve Cutler and Alex Cohen, both of whom brought deep industry experience from previous roles in gaming and technology. The company initially set up dual headquarters in Malta and Krakow, Poland, to leverage Malta’s regulatory environment and Krakow’s tech talent pool. From the outset, Kalamba Games aimed to differentiate itself through data-driven game design and a robust backend infrastructure. The company quickly gained traction by signing distribution deals with major aggregators and operators, expanding its presence in regulated markets.

Products & Platforms

Kalamba Games produces a diverse library of slot titles known for stunning graphics and immersive mechanics. Examples include Sky Hunters, Joker Max, Beers on Reels, and Hell Chef Goes Fishing. The games are designed with innovative bonus features and high-volatility gameplay. The proprietary Bullseye Remote Gaming Server (RGS) offers a secure, high-performance platform for operators to integrate Kalamba content, supporting real-time analytics and player data tracking. Integrated promotional tools allow operators to maximize player engagement through tournaments, challenges, and in-game rewards. Under the Speedy Tomatoes Entertainment brand, Kalamba also offers Powerpoker™, a video poker collection blending classic card game appeal with modern twists.
