?? Who are Lucksome?
Lucksome is a software development studio based in Malta, with employees also located in the UK. The company was unveiled in 2021 by Blueprint Gaming as part of its multi-studio strategy to bring innovative new titles to the online gaming industry. At launch, the Lucksome team already had over four decades of collective experience in games design in land-based, social casino, and online market sectors. Lucksome aims to deliver player-focused localised games driven by innovative concepts and features.
The studio is led by Brian Upton, bringing plenty of experience in games design and content strategy, having been Director of Games at NetEnt, but also working at OpenBet, Inspired, and IGT. Other key employees at Lucksome include former Yggdrasil and NetEnt alumni Johan John, Senior Product Manager, as well as Josefin Uppeke, Games Designer and Head of Creative. As a wholly-owned company, Lucksome's games are distributed across Blueprint Gaming's RGS platform, joining others in Blueprint's ever-expanding portfolio, which includes Reel Time Gaming and Merkur. Lucksome was brought on board to help Blueprint widen its international presence, giving operators localised high-quality content for a range of markets.
As part of the Blueprint Network, Lucksome is covered by several licenses from regulators such as the UK Gambling Commission, Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and the Malta Gaming Authority. One particular useful trait from a player's point of view is how transparent, and upfront Lucksome games have been. A full list of stats is readily available in each game, displaying everything from RTP, volatility, max win, bonus frequency, and much more, giving players a great idea of what to expect before firing up a Lucksome product.
Lucksome slots put players in the driving seat not only by giving them full statistical knowledge of each release but by providing in-game options to tailor the experience to personal temperament. This means players have some control over volatility and max win potential by selecting bonus game options that best match their personal risk-reward preference. When it comes to RTP, theoretical return values tend to hover around 96% which is a reliably average figure for the industry. With a focus on expanding their range of online slots, Lucksome also plans to explore other types of games, including a new multi-game concept at some stage in the future.
