The First African iGaming Studio Goes Mainstream with a Custom Game Launch

Shacks Evolution Studios has reached a new milestone in its meteoric rise, announcing a strategic partnership with Betway Africa. As Africa’s first homegrown iGaming development company, this partnership marks not just a personal victory for the Nigerian-based team but a cultural win for the entire continent.

Busly: Born in Lagos, Built for the World

Central to the announcement is the launch of Busly, an original game exclusively customized for Betway. Drawing visual and thematic inspiration from Lagos’ iconic buses and their animated drivers, Busly offers players a rollercoaster of excitement filled with local flavor.

This isn’t your average spin-the-wheel experience. Busly features dynamic characters,
African-inspired visuals, and mimic the unpredictability of a wild Lagos commute, all wrapped in seamless, mobile-first technology.

Why This Matters for Africa

Until recently, Africa has largely been seen as a market for games, not a maker of them. Shacks Evolution Studios is changing that narrative. By designing content locally and telling African stories, they’re proving that global-quality entertainment can come from within the continent and thrive.

Betway’s decision to support and distribute African-made games signals a major shift in how the gaming industry values authenticity, cultural nuance, and regional innovation.

What Lies Ahead

With more titles under development and plans for regional expansion, Shacks Evolution is positioning itself as the creative engine of African gaming. And with Betway in their corner they’re poised to bring African-made content to millions across the continent and potentially beyond.

This is more than a partnership. It’s a movement.
