History
Habanero develops slots, video poker and table games and sells them as one package, with a catalogue weighted heavily to Chinese, Japanese and South East Asian themes — an early bet on Asian markets that most European studios did not make. Its development and commercial operations run from studios in Sofia, Bulgaria, Manila and Johannesburg, through the entities Habanero Systems Limited in Malta and Habanero Systems B.V.
It publishes no founding year; 2010 and 2012 both circulate and neither is confirmed by the company. It holds a broad licence set across Malta, Romania, Sweden, Panama, Peru and Buenos Aires among others, and holds a US patent on its Jackpot Race product. No ownership change or acquisition could be evidenced from any source, and its ownership structure is not disclosed.
