US-facing studio joins forces with renowned Brazilian professional mixed martial artist.

Armadillo Studios aims to capture Amanda Nunes’ successful career by creating a fun and engaging slot for casino players worldwide to enjoy. Also known as the Lioness, Amanda is the current reigning champion of the women’s Featherweight divisions, the first woman to become a two-division UFC champion and the third fighter in UFC’s history to hold titles in two weight classes simultaneously.

Commenting on the news, Razvan Haiduc, CEO of Armadillo Studios, said: “As a fan of MMA myself, I’m very excited to be working with Amanda. Her global presence is huge, and we are ready to use it to provide some well-needed gender balance to the casino vertical.

“Armadillo Studios has ambitious plans for 2022, and our tie with Amanda is the first step in the right direction. This branded game is set to hit the market in the second half of 2022 and we are confident it will be a massive success.”

Amanda Nunes, professional MMA Fighter, said: “I’m thrilled to be involved in this awesome project. Having a brand-new slot title made from scratch in my image by a US game studio is an exciting adventure and rare opportunity. I hope that sports fans all over the world will be just as excited as I am and curious enough to take it for a spin.”

Launched earlier in 2021 in Miami, Florida, Armadillo Studios was established with the aim to develop US-first casino games. Managed by Razvan Haiduc and David Stoveld, the studio is set to release its first title 15 Armadillos at the beginning of January 2022.
