Under the agreement, FM Gaming will have the exclusive right to develop its games based on hit MGM titles such as Fame, the Stargate franchise, Robocop and the classic “Spaghetti Westerns” including A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Paul Kanareck, Head of Ventures, FremantleMedia, said: “This deal demonstrates our ambition to become a leading publisher of branded games in this exciting market. MGM have a fantastic range of movie titles that are known and loved around the world across generations and we’re looking forward to developing these into great games for online casino operators and their audiences.”
Launched in September 2008, FM Gaming has been created as a partnership between FremantleMedia Enterprises and FremantleMedia Ventures to extend and develop FremantleMedia’s activities in the global games market. FremantleMedia has licensed its brands across this sector for many years, but is now taking an increasingly active role, publishing games around its own hit shows.
