Boom Entertainment

At Boom, we strive to be a company that supports internal growth, promoting from within and leveling up our team's careers. 🥁 Drumroll 🥁 Please. We're happy to introduce Rick Rosen! Rick first joined Boom part-time in 2018, but early in his tenure, Rick picked up anywhere he could, including operational support, research, and community engagement. Rick's been promoted several times, most recently into a Game Designer and Social Media role. A fun fact about Rick's career at Boom related to this post is that we led an internal innovation competition for our flagship app, Boom Fantasy, and Rick's idea, Squad Ride, beat out 54 other submissions. His submission and eventual pitch were so successful that the team knew we wanted to add this to the product roadmap, and that is how Squad Ride was born.

We've been alerted of a Recruitment Scam using the real names of Boom employees through a fake email address. Multiple Animator candidates have reached out to let us know that someone is impersonating our HR team. Unfortunately, this is fraudulent, and we have no such opening. If you have any doubts as to whether you are dealing with a Boom Entertainment employee, please email us at HR@booment.com or contact Casey Gaynor on LinkedIn. We have reported this recruitment scam to the FTC and IC3 and will diligently respond to any inquiries as they come in. 

Employee Spotlight: Rafael Jesus Hernández Vasquez Rafa led Boom's recent project to bring the Trifecta Pick EM game to Golf Logix. Trifecta Pick EM is a free-to-play game where users pick three golfers each week for a chance at a $5,000 jackpot cash prize. Rafael enjoyed bringing this game to another application, Golf Logix. We also asked Rafa to walk us through something he's learned since joining Boom, highlighted below: "At Boom, I have had the opportunity to participate as a leader in creating, building, and deploying some great products using the Google Cloud Platform. It's also fun to have the opportunity and the ability to work across other verticals of the business, such as monolithic, micro-services, databases, mobile and web apps, interviews, design documents, etc. Above all else, the biggest area of growth and learning for me at Boom has been developing more confidence in myself. Boom has invested in my leadership growth over my three years here, and I am thrilled to lead a very talented team. Working with such talented and smart individuals is ultra-rewarding and motivating."

Highlighting a couple of wins our Casino Team accomplished in January. Specifically, new operator launches! • Launched Boom's casino content on Golden Nugget in Michigan on January 17th. This is the first time our content has appeared on Golden Nugget anywhere. More states will follow in the coming months. • Our casino content was part of the Fanatics Sportsbook and Casino launch in Pennsylvania on January 22nd. This is the second state where we have launched content with Fanatics, including their headline blackjack game, Fanatics Blackjack. Thrilled to continue to see our custom content reach new markets and players in 2024!

Boom Entertainment has partnered with Fanatics Betting & Gaming to supply them with premium branded content, including their premier blackjack game, Fanatics Blackjack, which went live as part of their sportsbook and casino launch in West Virginia this week. Boom is working closely with Fanatics on a lineup of additional custom-branded games and will be right there with them as they continue to launch their casino platform in additional states.
