History
Speedy Tomatoes Entertainment was founded in 2023 by Asko Heiskanen, whom the site names as founder and CEO, with the stated aim of reviving online video poker. Instead of slots it builds video poker and classic card-game variants under its Powerpoker™ label, which it describes as a simplified, easy-to-play form of classic video poker with added features and a mobile-first presentation.
In January 2024 the company announced, in a release datelined Helsinki, that a former Chief Commercial Officer of Yggdrasil had joined its board to support a commercial push, and stated that it is backed by the Finnish family-owned investment company Ajanta. Its site says the Powerpoker™ line-up is coming to online casinos and invites distributors, aggregators and operators to get in touch; it names no released titles and no licences.

How well established
The 2023 founding, the founder and CEO, the Ajanta backing and the Powerpoker™ product line are documented on the official site. No legal entity, game titles, release dates, licences or office address are published, and the site's About page is still a website-builder placeholder.
