Listen Later

Ep. 173 features Kenny Huang from TinyRex Games, which is building next-generation instant games at the intersection of social and iGaming.

 

Hear him discuss:

  • How his experience at EA and Bluebat Games led to founding TinyRex Games during the pandemic
  • Why TinyRex focuses on “original, edgy, cheeky” instant games beyond traditional slots
  • How their catalog has grown from 3 to 12+ games in just the past year
  • Why the crash game format has become so popular amongst players (and profitable for operators)
  • Why TinyRex targets both crypto and traditional iGaming operators with its distribution strategy
  • How aggregator partnerships complement direct operator integrations for better margins and branded exclusives
  • Why he decided not to raise institutional capital to grow Tiny Rex, instead favoring revenue-led growth
  • His lessons from the Bluebat acquisition, and why he’s prioritizing resilience and independence this time
  •  

    Applications now open for SBC Summit First Pitch competition returning to Lisbon this September 16-18. Eligible startups can submit their applications until July 25 for a shot at over $100,000 worth of prizes.
