Gaming Realms enters South Africa with Hollywoodbets

Gaming Realms, a leading provider of mobile-focused gaming content, has boosted its global footprint after making its debut in South Africa with leading operator Hollywoodbets.

Gaming Realms’ diverse portfolio of Slingo titles is now available to local players, including games developed through the provider’s unique IP and brand partnerships, such as Slingo Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania, Slingo Sweet Bonanza and Slingo Xxxtreme.

Hollywoodbets is one of South Africa’s largest betting and gaming brands, with both land-based and online operations, and an established customer base. The integration with Gaming Realms was done through Hollywoodbets’ local aggregation partner Light & Wonder.

The partnership marks Gaming Realms’ first foray into the African region and follows other recent market entries that have seen the company significantly enhance its global reach. The company is now live in over 30 regulated markets with plans to expand further in 2026, including in Africa.

Gareth Scott, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Realms, said: “Adding new regulated markets is imperative as we continue to cement our position as a leading supplier of unique and engaging content.

“Entering South Africa together with such a prominent partner as Hollywoodbets is a significant signal of intent and we have great ambitions to make the African region a key focus for Gaming Realms, as it offers great potential and an opportunity to reach completely new audiences.”

Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets, said: “Gaming Realms is a provider that truly brings something unique, and we are excited to be the first operator to introduce Slingo and their wider game portfolio to players in South Africa.

“Their Slingo content appeals to a wide player demographic, blending the best from slots and strategy, and we have already seen it really resonate with our customers.”
