Turkish mobile tech company Mega Fortuna has received a $10 million investment from Aonic. The deal includes an option for Aonic to acquire the entire share capital of Mega Fortuna for $70 million.
Mega Fortuna was established two years ago and is billed as a mobile gaming discovery and loyally platform. Its flagship product, Richie Games, allows mobile players to earn real-world gift cards as they discover new games.
Richie Games currently has over 10 million monthly active users and has delivered 200 million downloads. Mega Fortuna CEO Şeyhmus Ölker said the investment round will allow the company to scale its vision.
"This milestone is a testament to the exceptional talent, dedication, and innovation of the entire Mega Fortuna team," said Ölker in a press release. "In just two years, we've built Richie Games into a platform that is transforming how players engage with mobile gaming. None of this would have been possible without the incredible teamwork and passion of our people."
Aonic has invested in Mega Fortuna around one month after it received €152 million in funding to support its studios and finance more acquisitions.
The Swedish video game conglomerate noted that its mobile tech businesses performed "strongly" in 2024, helping the company deliver a consolidated revenue increase of 73 percent.
Despite that upswing, Aonic sanctioned layoffs at VR studio nDreams and confirmed 17.5 percent of employees could be made redundant.
The company said nDreams needed to adapt in a "challenging VR games market." Those redundancies were announced less than a year after Aonic purchased the UK studio for $110 million in what it described as a "landmark" deal.
