Gaming Corps launches 3 Pigs of the Caribbean in Brazil, Ontario
Swedish slots developer Gaming Corps has unveiled the latest installment in its Pigs series, 3 Pigs of the Caribbean, available in Brazil, with a launch in Ontario expected to follow soon.
The pirate-themed slot encompasses a 5×3 grid, with 243 different ways to win.
Bonus features include a Hold & Win game, which is triggered by either landing six or more Prize Coins or by gaining a combination of Prize and Pig Coins. Once activated, the bonus enables users to spin for additional prizes.
Pig Coins also come in three variations, with each having its own unique properties.
The Red Pig expands the grid, adding new chances to win. The Yellow Pig offers multipliers of up to x10, while both the Yellow and Blue Pig can award users with random values 100x the total bet. The Blue Pig also offers free spins.
A Mystery Pig is also up for grabs, transforming into any of the three colors. Other features available to users include the Collector Chest, which collects coins as they land, and a Prize Gem system with four collectible tiers.
Gaming Corps Product Owner Viacheslav Pechernyi said, “The Pigs have become a cornerstone of our portfolio and a player favorite around the world. With 3 Pigs of the Caribbean, we wanted to take everything that made the series successful – fun characters, smart mechanics, and big win potential, and send them on their most daring voyage yet. We can’t wait to see how it performs.”

The Backstory
Why this launch matters now
Gaming Corps has spent the past year laying the groundwork for a broader footprint across Latin America and North America. The latest expansion builds on a steady cadence of market entries, licensing wins and product iterations designed to appeal to local tastes while scaling a recognizable IP. The company has used Brazil as a test bed for new formats and mechanics, then parlayed those rollouts into regulated markets where momentum and brand recall can translate into faster adoption. The strategy pairs franchise continuity — recurring characters and mechanics — with distribution deals that shorten time to market. Taken together, the moves show a developer trying to punch above its weight in crowded instant-win and slot categories. The timing aligns with accelerating growth in regulated online gambling, where jurisdictions such as Ontario are posting double-digit gains and operators are hungry for content that blends familiarity with novelty.
Ontario becomes a gateway
Securing a license in Ontario gave Gaming Corps a critical foothold in a regulated North American market known for strict compliance. In announcing its approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, the company framed the province as both a quality signal and a springboard to the wider region, citing the market’s growth from CA$2.4 billion in gross revenue in its second year to CA$3.2 billion in its third, a 32% increase. The developer said it would “shortly begin” rolling out a slate that includes sport-themed titles, as detailed in Gaming Corps granted Ontario gaming license. With Ontario regulated since 2022 and operators seeking fresh content to drive retention, being live in the province positions Gaming Corps to translate existing LatAm traction into new North American demand, especially as distribution partners extend coverage across U.S. states and Canada.
Franchise building around the ‘Pigs’ universe
The company has turned its “Pigs” series into a unifying thread across regions and mechanics, using familiar characters to anchor new features and prize structures. Earlier this year, Gaming Corps released 3 Pigs of Olympus to players in Brazil and Europe, a mythology-themed entry that layered Zeus multipliers, Poseidon free spins and Hades synchronized reels onto a “3 Pot” style framework with prizes advertised up to 10,000x. It then expanded its pig-themed portfolio with Piggy Smash 2 in Brazil, an arcade-style title centered on the company’s Smash4Cash mechanic, refreshed with an updated multiplier, a rampage feature and a random instant-win mode that can reach 5,000x. The approach lets Gaming Corps reuse a recognizable narrative while experimenting with volatility, coin collections and bonus states, an efficient way to drive engagement when entering new markets where brand equity is still forming.
Mechanics as differentiation
Gaming Corps has leaned on proprietary or branded mechanics to separate itself in categories dominated by larger suppliers. Piggy Smash 2’s enhanced Smash4Cash system is one example, bringing real-time, arcade-style interactions into a casino context that favors quick sessions. The developer also rolled out Hoop Champion in Brazil and parts of Europe with its X-MY-WAY feature, which lets players choose volatility by selecting shot types on a basketball court. That design ties risk to an intuitive sports metaphor and targets regions where basketball has a growing commercial footprint. Gaming Corps pointed to Statista estimates of US$84.85 million in basketball revenue by the end of 2025 as it positioned the title for LatAm audiences. By pairing theme fit with adjustable risk, the company is trying to broaden its addressable audience beyond traditional slots, a bet that can pay off in markets with mixed preferences for instant-win, mines and multiplier formats.
Distribution pipes across the Americas
Access has been as critical as content. Gaming Corps struck a distribution deal with Oddsworks to bring its catalog to regulated U.S. states — New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia and Connecticut — as well as regions in Latin America and Canada, according to Gaming Corps launches in North America and LatAm with Oddsworks. The integration via the BetGuard platform covers slots, table games, mines, Plinko, multiplier titles and the Smash4Cash engine. Oddsworks’ own reach expanded when it partnered with Caesars Entertainment on Feb. 27, 2025, to distribute content on Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook, amplifying potential exposure for third-party studios integrated into BetGuard. In Latin America, Gaming Corps made its titles available in Brazil after partnering with WA Technology in late February, a step referenced in the Hoop Champion Brazil launch. Those pipes set a foundation for rapid multi-jurisdiction launches when new titles are ready.
The stakes in crowded regulated markets
The race in regulated iGaming hinges on fresh content and efficient market entry. Ontario’s growth underscores the opportunity, but strict compliance and operator curation make shelf space scarce. A repeatable franchise like the “Pigs” series helps cut through noise with consistent branding and evolving features that support marketing campaigns across jurisdictions. Brazil serves as a proving ground where Gaming Corps tests engagement on arcade and slot hybrids, then carries winners into North America with licensing and distribution in place. The tie-up with Oddsworks, and its downstream reach into major operator ecosystems such as Caesars, raises the ceiling on potential scale. At the same time, the company is diversifying formats — from mythology-infused slots in 3 Pigs of Olympus to sports-led volatility controls in Hoop Champion — to reduce dependence on any single genre. If the strategy holds, Ontario and Brazil could remain twin pillars for launches that blend narrative continuity, mechanical novelty and broader distribution, positioning Gaming Corps to convert regional traction into sustained, multi-market growth.
