AGS partners with Hostess to launch iconic Twinkie brand

“The launch of Twinkie 7’s is an exciting milestone for AGSi and significantly bolsters our growing library of social casino titles. Equally exciting is our new partnership with the iconic and beloved Hostess brand, which creates potential for more opportunities in the future. We are confident that Twinkie 7’s will not only resonate well with the millennial demographic on social casino channels but also with long-time fans of the classic treats,” said Mani Honigstein, General Manager of AGSi.

Aside from making players really hungry, Twinkie 7’s aims to be a whole lot of fun. The game features some of Hostess’ most popular treats – Ho Hos, Sno Balls, and of course, Twinkies – as bonus symbols. Earning a certain amount of these bonus symbols triggers a Triple Wheel Bonus round, leading to even bigger wins.

This launch comes on the heels of AGS’ recent acquisition of RocketPlay, a renowned developer of social casino titles for mobile devices based in San Francisco, CA with a development studio in Tel Aviv, Israel. Since acquiring RocketPlay, which AGS rebranded as AGSi, several of the Company’s popular land-based slot titles have been integrated into AGSi’s flagship app, Lucky Play Casino, and its recently launched iOS app, Vegas Fever. Among the titles available for play on Lucky Play Casino for iOS are Royal Reels, So Hot, Monkey in the Bank, Golden Panda, and, now, Twinkie 7’s.

“Having land-based game content available on social platforms is essential for building brand awareness and enables us to offer tried-and-true games with proven math models. Games like Royal Reels and So Hot have been successful on live casino floors for a long time. That success has translated well in the social space, where our mobile users enjoy the same dynamics that made the landbase games so popular,” said Honigstein.

Lucky Play Casino is also currently available for Android devices and AGSi has plans to integrate land-based titles onto that platform in the near future. Additionally, the Company is working to release an Android version of Vegas Fever.
