Thunderkick
Company Overview
Thunderkick is a slot development studio founded in 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden. The company describes itself as having “set out in 2012 as a small studio looking to shake things up,” and operates today through two legal entities, Thunderkick AB (Sweden) and Thunderkick Malta Ltd, with a team the studio puts at more than 80 people based in Stockholm.
Thunderkick positions itself as an independent studio rather than part of a larger gaming group. Its own materials state that “by staying independent and true to our roots, we have the freedom to experiment and innovate.”
The studio supplies its games to licensed casino operators on a B2B basis. In 2026 it announced a supply partnership with a licensed operator in Italy, integrating an initial set of Thunderkick titles, including entries from the Esqueleto Explosivo and Midas Golden Touch series. This is a standard content-supply arrangement rather than a white-label or aggregation service.

Flagship Games & Style
Thunderkick states that every one of its games is made in-house. The Esqueleto Explosivo series (Esqueleto Explosivo, Esqueleto Explosivo 2, Esqueleto Explosivo 3) is the studio’s most recurring franchise, joined by Pink Elephants and the Midas Golden Touch series.
Thunderkick also displays regulatory logos for the Malta Gaming Authority, Sweden’s Spelinspektionen, and Ontario’s AGCO on its homepage, indicating a presence in those jurisdictions, though it does not publish license numbers for them the way it does for its UK Gambling Commission accounts. The studio has continued releasing new titles at a steady pace since crossing its 100-game milestone in mid-2026.
