GrooveGaming launch 2020 by getting into the groove in Latin America
Accessible aggregator GrooveGaming has started the year with a major foray into Latin America through a partnership with Patagonia Entertainment (Salsa Technology) that kicks-off the year nicely for both brands and hands GrooveGaming a prime place with players in South America.
GrooveGaming are working with a number of big global operators, offering the latest of today’s most popular slots and table games, together with a plethora of casino games and other major content including live gaming. Groove Gaming has created and curated commercial partnerships with the world’s most distinguished games providers to provide operators a wide range of options for every market and the BI tools to continuously make sure the games that are offered will maximise player experience.
GrooveGaming has built an industry-coveted diverse portfolio of proprietary and 3rd party HTML5 video slots and table games as well as over 2500 casino games together with the biggest Lotto, Video Bingo, Live games, Virtual Sports, Table Games and Sportsbook. GrooveGaming’s global reach is underpinned by tailoring games lists and promotions for operators working in multiple markets to reflect typical regional player attitudes thereby helping to drive player engagement and revenue.
GrooveGaming has significantly grown its presence over the last year across key global markets and important regulated jurisdictions through partnerships with major online gambling operators. The aggregator’s products recently went live with EveryMatrix, iGP, Digitain, ALEA and Quickfire and boasts a significant presence across Europe’s regulated gambling markets, as well as with a raft of other entities including Nucleus Gaming, 7 Stargaming, WeAreCasino, SuperSpade Gaming, RivalGaming, SoftGaming, Merkur, and many others.
By concluding this year opening deal with Patagonia Entertainment, GrooveGaming are significantly strengthening their presence in the Latin American market, Patagonia Entertainment’s stronghold. Every client enjoys 24/7/365 account services to maximise revenue and introduce games that deepen player involvement.
A key reason why GrooveGaming is becoming a supplier 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 higher yield.
A secondary element of the deal means GrooveGaming will be welcoming Patagonia’s own casino content onto its platform. This includes Patagonia’s world renowned Video Bingos portfolio, which features classics such as Pachinko 3D, Goal Bingo, Show Ball Plus and Pirates Bingo. Each has multiple in-game features, such as bonus rounds, free rounds, and many other prizes.
Patagonia Entertainment’s Global Business Development Manager Victor Arias said: “We greatly admire GrooveGaming’s content and we look forward to welcoming the games to our platform. The content exchange will help us build on a strong start to 2020 and give GrooveGaming access to the LatAm market.”
Rebecca Sotomora, Head of Sales at GrooveGaming said: “We are absolutely delighted kicking-off the year going live with Patagonia and making our games available in Latin America. The South American gaming market is showing a lot of promise and has increased in popularity over the last few years so we are naturally excited about the upcoming opportunities. The GrooveGaming team are looking forward to a long and successful partnership that will see us continue to bring new and innovative content to Latin America with Patagonia Entertainment.”
