Kendoo marks one-year anniversary with ICE Barcelona debut

Kendoo, the fast-growing slot game provider, is celebrating its first anniversary following a highly successful debut year defined by strong commercial momentum, portfolio performance and expanding international reach. The milestone coincides with the company’s first-ever exhibition appearance at ICE Barcelona 2026, taking place from 19-21 January in Barcelona, where Kendoo will welcome visitors at Stand 1K50.

Since launching in 2024, Kendoo has rapidly established itself as a reliable content partner for operators worldwide. Over the past year, the provider has partnered with more than 50 operators and platform providers and is now live in over 25 markets, covering a broad mix of CLS, sweepstakes, Ukraine and Canada, with further expansion planned in 2026 into regulated markets.

Kendoo’s first year has been driven by a clear product philosophy focused on dependable, high-quality slot content. Strong art direction, familiar mechanics and player-led design have been central to the studio’s growth, delivering consistent gameplay results and supporting long-term operator performance across its expanding catalogue.

A standout success has been 3 Fortune Trees, which quickly became Kendoo’s top-performing title, averaging 500 rounds per player. Its performance laid the foundation for the studio’s 3 Pots core mechanic, developed to enhance bonus engagement, extend game lifecycles and improve replay value. This mechanic has since been rolled out across multiple releases, including a 4 Pots title launched in November 2025. Further evolution is planned for 2026 with the introduction of Master Pot, Kendoo’s next-generation mechanic.

As Kendoo enters its second year, the provider has a strong roadmap in place, with 14 new titles scheduled for release throughout 2026. The upcoming portfolio spans a variety of themes and mechanics designed to appeal to diverse player audiences, supported by instant integration and adaptive frameworks for multi-jurisdictional deployment. Recent releases such as Zeus Power and 3 Gates of Pyramid showcase Kendoo’s creative range and ability to engage multiple player segments.

Kendoo’s progress has also been recognised by the wider industry, with the studio receiving the SBC Award for Slot Developer of the Year (Small), underlining the impact of its focused and consistent approach.

At ICE Barcelona 2026, Kendoo will showcase its growing portfolio and offer a preview of upcoming roadmap developments. To mark both its anniversary and exhibition debut, the studio will host an on-stand anniversary lottery, with prizes including Apple AirPods Pro 3, Fujifilm Wide Evo and Apple Watch Series 11.

Kate Romanenko, commercial director at Kendoo, said: “Our first year has reinforced our belief that great games should speak for themselves. Every decision we’ve made has focused on delivering high-quality, reliable content that resonates with players and supports operators. As we begin our second year, we remain committed to building on this foundation and continuing our steady growth.”
