Hot on the heels of expanding its Brazilian footprint and Pragmatic Play has strengthened its existing partnership with Greece’s leading gaming technology company, Kaizen Gaming, via a new multi-vertical content integration deal. The commercial agreements follow the provider’s announcement of its shortlist to the EGR B2B Awards 2021 and nominations in 10 categories. 

Under the enhanced agreement, the Athens-based company will launch Pragmatic’s slots offering as well as its live casino portfolio across its Stoiximan brand where it operates in Greece and Cyprus, and with its international brand, Betano in Germany, Romania, Portugal, and Brazil.

Live casino:

Customers of the two popular brands will now be able to enjoy the Gibraltar-based provider’s fast-growing suite of live casino games, including Mega Wheel, one of two of the company’s first game show-inspired hits, and the recently launched, ONE Blackjack, which offers four separate types of side bet and allows a limitless number of players to get in on the action at any time and a max win of up to 2,000 times the stake. 

In a statement in an official press release, RNG Casino Manager for Kaizen Gaming, Dimokratis Papadimos said that Pragmatic Play’s slot offering has performed well for them and they are “delighted” to take the provider’s games live via direct integration but to also add its “outstanding” live casino offering.
