The multi-award-winning crash game Aviatrix is celebrating the most anticipated party in all of Brazil with a new game splash to mark the São João festival.

The festival, which commemorates John the Baptist, is an important occasion across Brazil as well as other countries, celebrated vibrantly with music, forró dancing, bonfires and more.

And now Aviatrix players can also join the action. First, they’ll notice a new icon representing São João, and then they are greeted with a dedicated splash screen as the game loads that captures the magic of the festa.

Gabriela Novello, Head of Business Development LATAM at Aviatrix, said: “Our clients speak, and we listen. That’s why we have created this localized content, our new splash screen is all about bringing a little bit of the Festa Junina to Aviatrix players. This is an important cultural moment when the whole of Brazil comes together and celebrates, we want players to feel that excitement. Team Aviatrix will certainly be enjoying it.”

An important feature of Aviatrix is that the game can be seamlessly localized, both to specific countries and regions or around major events, including holidays and big sports tournaments, meaning the game always feels timely and relevant to players.

A subsidiary of Betsson AB has obtained its first local licenses for the newly regulated market in Peru. The licenses cover online casino and sports betting for the Betsson and Betsafe brands. Further, licenses for the Inkabet brand are expected to be obtained soon.

Betsson began its Latin American venture already in 2008 and has since then positioned itself as the most recognised sports betting brand in Peru. In 2019, the Group further strengthened its position toward the country with the launch of its Betsafe brand. Two years later Inkabet, a Peruvian-facing sports betting and online casino business, was acquired.

Besides the new licenses, the Group holds licenses in two other key markets in the region, Colombia and Argentina. In Argentina, Betsson holds licenses in Buenos Aires City, Buenos Aires province, and Córdoba.

Pontus Lindwall, President and CEO of Betsson AB, said: “We have really looked forward to Peru introducing a local regulation and are very pleased with the issuing of these licenses. With this announcement, we affirm our commitment to the local economy and the new regulatory framework in the country.”

Fennica Gaming, a leading provider of online gaming solutions and the subsidiary of Finnish National Lottery Veikkaus, has announced the launch of its eInstant games in Brazil in partnership with the country’s top digital operator, LottoCap. The games are marking a new milestone in Fennica Gaming’s expansion into the Brazilian market. This also represents a milestone for the Brazilian market and LottoCap, as these casual-gaming-like eInstants are the first of their kind in Brazil.

The journey began at an industry event, where LottoCap’s Felipe Camara and Jorge Luiz de Arruda Ribeiro heard Fennica Gaming’s Joni Hovi give a talk about new innovative eInstants. Immediately afterwards, they visited Fennica Gaming’s colleagues, and discussions began.

– We had a very good start with the discussions and tried to gather a lot of information for LottoCap on how the eInstants work and what kind of player group might be interested in the games. These kinds of games would be totally new in the Brazilian market, and LottoCap was interested in introducing them to its players. Pretty soon, we started talking about technical integrations and came to the point where a clear path was shown for collaboration. LottoCap is a very agile and professional company with clear visions about the future, explains Joni Hovi happily about the start of the cooperation.

– We are operating with Brazilian Aplicap and providing the digital games portfolio. We are always eager to offer the Brazilian players something new and saw a chance with Fennica Gaming’s innovative portfolio. The proceeds go to good causes, and we are sure these games will find their interested audience. We are very happy about the collaboration with the Fennicans as they work with very high standards, explains Felipe Camara, Head of Product and Marketing from LottoCap.

– It’s always a pleasure to work with an agile, forward-leaning company with good personal connections. I could even say it has been fun to work with LottoCap and its colleagues. Now that we have launched our casual-gaming-like entertaining eInstants with LottoCap for their players, we are very excited to see how our game portfolio succeeds in a market that has never seen these kinds of games before. We are continuing the collaboration and working together to optimize the games for LottoCap’s players, says Jussi Ronkainen, Product Portfolio Manager from Fennica Gaming

– The integration process is always thrilling. Every single regulation has its own special features, and that is an exciting professional challenge for us. The customer might have special wishes, like when buying a car with additional equipment. We, of course, always want to fulfil the customer’s requirements. We have been very happy to work with such a professional technical partner as LottoCap, so the delivery was running very smoothly. Now we just wish the best of luck for the games in Brazil, concludes Tung Hoang, Technical Product Manager of Fennica Gaming.
