White Hat Studios has launched three soccer-themed casino titles ahead of the 2026 World Cup, positioning the games for operator cross-sell during the tournament across the US, Mexico and Canada.
The new releases are Maradona Golden Goal
, Saint Kicked, and Kong Even Bigger Balls. White Hat Studios said the trio is intended to support engagement for online casinos during the summer sporting calendar.
Maradona Golden Goal is themed around Diego Maradona and references “iconic kits” from his career, according to the company. White Hat Studios said the game includes a Cash Collect mechanic, with a Golden Goal feature that can trigger at any time, boosting values and allowing additional symbols to land to activate the Bonus Game.
Saint Kicked and Kong Even Bigger Balls are described as soccer-themed updates to two existing game families, adding “instantly recognizable soccer references” to refresh the player experience.
Armen Tatarevic, SVP of Commercial Operations at White Hat Studios, said: “Excitement for this year’s World Cup is growing fast in the US with the big kick-off drawing closer. To celebrate, we wanted to introduce a hat-trick of games to our portfolio that allow players to enjoy soccer-themed casino entertainment during the international tournament.
“As we’ve seen in markets worldwide, major sporting events have the power to attract new audiences for both sportsbooks and casinos. Through these new titles, we’re providing our operator partners across multiple states the best opportunity to engage with sports fans.”
