What is Fortune Gems?
The news value here is less about the individual game than about what it signals. REEVO is continuing to lean on one of the most heavily worked themes in online slots. The studio is packaging a familiar setting alongside a mix of mechanics rather than a single standout engine.
Thunder Walker has a 5×5 reel layout with 50 paylines and a range of themed features. With a medium volatility profile, a reported RTP of 95.72% and a maximum win of 2,358x the bet, the game sits toward the more measured end of the market. This is not one of the high-ceiling, high-variance releases that dominate headlines.
That positioning matters. It points to a title built for broad operator placement and steady session play rather than a chase-the-max spectacle, which fits how volume-driven studios tend to structure their mid-tier output.

About Fortune Gems
Ahlberg agrees the €16.4 million valuation is attractive, with a deferred consideration of around €10.4 million that reduces the immediate cash burden.
Corfai Capital Managing Partner and Founder Ben Robinson is even more bullish on the price, pointing to the circumstances in which GiG was able to acquire the business.
“On the numbers GiG has disclosed it looks cheap,” he says. “€16.4 million for 80% implies an EV of €20.5 million against roughly $50 million of run-rate NGR, 30% year-on-year growth and positive cash generation. €6m of cash on day one for a business generating $50 million of NGR tells you who needed the deal.”
