Caleta Gaming Partners with Imperial Sportsbet.io to Release the Slot “Imperial: Operation Rio”

Esports came about as a way to organise online or face-to-face electronic game competitions, and the fast popularity electronic sports turned them into a multi-millionaire industry. As every great team has a great sponsor, in 2022, Imperial Esports teamed up with Sportsbet.io and Gamdom.com, among others, to take a big step that brought about the most iconic Brazilian CS:GO players.

This year, Imperial became home to the project Last Dance, which reunited great names from the Counter Strike scenario, such as Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo, Ricardo “boltz” Prass, Vinicius “VINI” Figueiredo, Lincoln “fnx” Lau, and Fernando “fer” Alvarenga, creating a turning point for the community, which became ecstatic with the possibility of seeing world champions playing together again. Currently, the team’s lineup avails of the arrival of player Marcelo “chelo” Cespedes, who joined as a reinforcement after Fnx migrated to a coaching position.

With the project’s success and great visibility, the three companies decided to release a game inspired by the team with a CS:GO theme. That’s where Caleta Gaming comes in, a Brazilian online game developer and provider, which was already a partner of Sportsbet.io and Gamdom.com. Caleta’s team, working in cooperation with both companies, was responsible for developing the game and making it available on its iGaming platform.

Junior Gonçalves, Product Leader at Caleta Gaming, said: “Joining forces with electronic game giants such as Sportsbet.io, Gamdom.com, and Imperial is seeking to reach discerning and astute players. These are qualities that Imperial translates into its way of playing. Imperial: Operation Rio is made for the public of one of the best eSport teams worldwide. #GOIMP.”

Imperial: Operation Rio is a high-volatility slots game inspired by CS:GO and customised with arts and designs made especially for the team, with a maximum pay of 15000 times the total bet. The game has a bonus that rewards players according to their choice of which boxes to open, giving away prizes according to the team symbol or signature that is drawn, a mechanic that is well-known among Counter Strike fans.

“We are making history by creating the first exclusive and really thematic game for an eSports organization that we know of,” Felippe Martins, CEO of Imperial Esports, said.

“With the release of the Imperial: Operation Rio slot, we took our partnership with Imperial to another level, creating a unique entertainment experience for our users,” Justin Le Brocque, Head of Marketing at Sportsbet.io, said.

“Innovation is a Gamdom differential and we show that with this new game,” Felix R., co-founder of Gamdom.com, said.
