GrooveGaming announce more live content with Ezugi deal
Aggregator GrooveGaming has extended its live vertical further with live casino specialist Ezugi. The Evolution Gaming-owned supplier offers live dealer table games, including Roulette, Blackjack, Unlimited Blackjack, Baccarat and the recently launched Andar Bahar and Teen Patti games.
Created with the aim of easy and fast content delivery for the igaming industry, GrooveGaming has frequently hit the headlines over the past couple of years as the aggregator of choice for a host of big industry names including EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, ALEA and Quickfire, amongst others.
GrooveGaming has numerous live dealer titles amongst its on-demand live content and classy games including live roulette, baccarat, blackjack and live dedicated tables, amongst others. In addition, its virtual sports offering includes virtual football, tennis, horse-racing, cycling and greyhound racing, with virtual Euro basketball and cricket coming to the rapidly-expanding aggregator soon.
The surge in demand for live content has followed the curtailing of live sports worldwide due to COVID-19 and the closing of land-based casinos in numerous jurisdictions across the world. As a result, entertainment is now being offered in the form of live content and virtual sports to operators striving to meet player demand.
GrooveGaming is well placed with a robust live content range that encompasses some of the world’s leading live content and virtual sports brands, including LEAP Gaming, TVBET, VIVO Gaming, Lucky Streak, Super Spade, Evolution Gaming, SA Gaming, and now Ezugi.
GrooveGaming’s powerful platform includes over 2500 casino games as well as a wealth of aggregated content ranging from slots, online casino and live casino, to poker and table games, that operators can access via easy integration to drive player engagement and revenue.
A major reason why GrooveGaming is becoming the aggregator of choice around the world is that GrooveGaming is powered by technology innovation which provides operators with the ability to activate a range of features that enhance customer experience and engagement, improve retention, encourage extended play and produce a higher yield.
GrooveGaming has significantly grown its presence throughout the last two years across key global markets and important regulated jurisdictions through partnerships with major online gambling operators. This latest signing with Ezugi highlights the attractiveness of GrooveGaming’s portfolio with operators and players alike.
Ezugi provides a specialist next-generation live dealer casino platform with a regular throughput of innovative and immediate studio games through multiple channels across the globe. Ezugi are the sole providers of live studios in Europe, America and Asia and offer a truly unparalleled localised offering and a riveting gaming experience.
Pang Goh, Ezugi’s business development director, commented: “We took the plunge with GrooveGaming as it gives us another way to grow in prime regulated markets. With the new Ezugi flagship studio in Bucharest and our MGA license, we’re constantly searching for exciting strategic partners, and GrooveGaming has been the name on everyone’s lips now for a while so we’re delighted to have made the deal with them.”
Yahale Meltzer, COO at GrooveGaming said: “GrooveGaming’s platform has curated some of the world’s best slots and casino games, and now we are ramping-up our live casino and virtual games with an increasingly broad array of content which will appeal to the unique demands and preferences of the global market. This latest tie-in with Ezugi helps our mission to serve tier-1 and other operators with valuable content and significantly accelerates our journey towards our 2020 business goals.”
