Ep. 173: Bringing innovation to instant games w/ Kenny Huang from TinyRex Games

Ep. 173 features Kenny Huang from TinyRex Games, which is building next-generation instant games at the intersection of social and iGaming.

 

Hear him discuss:

• How his experience at EA and Bluebat Games led to founding TinyRex Games during the pandemic
• Why TinyRex focuses on “original, edgy, cheeky” instant games beyond traditional slots
• How their catalog has grown from 3 to 12+ games in just the past year
• Why the crash game format has become so popular amongst players (and profitable for operators)
• Why TinyRex targets both crypto and traditional iGaming operators with its distribution strategy
• How aggregator partnerships complement direct operator integrations for better margins and branded exclusives
• Why he decided not to raise institutional capital to grow Tiny Rex, instead favoring revenue-led growth
• His lessons from the Bluebat acquisition, and why he’s prioritizing resilience and independence this time
