Gulkhanyan added the partnership was “an exciting step forward for both of our companies.”
In its LinkedIn release, PopOK informed players they could now “experience our vibrant, high-performance games” including crash titles like Xmas Crash on Stake “and let the winning streak begin!”

With the popularity of its titles in Africa, PopOK earlier this week also released a bespoke slot designed to appeal directly to urban culture, via its new Matatu Juu slot. The vibrant, minibus-themed crash game comes with a Cashout mechanic “and win potential of up to 10,000x.”
The content studio’s Yo Dragon slot, meanwhile, also won the Most Played Game of 2026 award at SiGMA’s South American gala, a theme PopOK has already mined successfully with its Era of Dragons slot.
