Pragmatic Play partners up with BetBastet and releases ‘Wild Wild Bananas’ to boost Brazilian expansion
Premium content provider to the iGaming industry, Pragmatic Play, has entered a partnership with an experienced Brazilian operator Betbastet. The deal will enable Pragmatic Play to expand its footprint in the Latin American market, while the prominent operator will benefit from Pragmatic’s Slot, Live Casino, and Virtual Sports content.
B2B partnership:
BetBastet’s customers will now be able to access the provider’s extensive portfolio and enjoy a variety of player-favorite titles tailored to boost engagement and provide a unique player experience. The B2B partnership includes recently released Slot titles such as Candy Stars™ and Sword of Ares™, as well as the multi-award-winning Gates of Olympus™. A significant collection of Live Casino titles, including Sweet Bonanza Candy Land and Mega Wheel, are also added to represent a cherry on top of the Brazilian cake.
The latest deal marks another post in Pragmatic Play‘s expansion across Latin America. Its commercial growth in Brazil is reflected in other neighboring regions as well to prove the significance of the Latin American market for the industry’s leading supplier. At the same time, BetBastet is now in a position to take advantage of its experience and first-class offering to play a leading role in the growing Brazilian market.
Promising region:
Victor Arias, Vice President of Latin American Operations at Pragmatic Play, said: “Brazil continues to exert itself as an extremely promising region for us, and the addition BetBastet to our ever-growing partner network serves as evidence of this.” Arias also said: ”We’re thrilled to be given the opportunity to elevate yet another brand with content from three of our most promising verticals and expect the products to resonate strongly with Brazilian players.”
BetBastet representative commented: “The variety of Pragmatic Play’s multi-product offering places it in a league of its own, and we are so excited to share this new content with our Brazilian players. We expect our engagement metrics and revenues to receive a real boost from this major addition and we couldn’t be happier with the terms of the agreement.”
New release:
The latest deal coincides with the latest Pragmatic Play release that is now included in the supplier’s offering. The new cluster-pay online tropical-island-themed slot Wild Wild Bananas™ invite players to indulge in a paradise island experience, such that might resemble the Copacabana Beach experience and invite Brazilian and other players to set out for a relaxing journey through the realms of dreams.
The slot has a five-reel set up with animal and fruit symbols that must form matching combinations across the title’s 576 winning ways to award a win. The wilds are spread over the first two reels to replace all other symbols in the game and increase the winning chance. The chance is further increased with instant cash prizes achieved by banana symbols close to two wilds, which in turn can award jackpot prizes up to 500x.
Wilds are also key to unlocking the free spins round, which includes a bonus round where the reels expand to allow more symbols to be landed, awarding additional free spin rounds. Wild Wild Bananas is the latest title among Pragmatic Play’s collection of over 250 unique titles. A fine selection of these will now be available to Brazilian operator BetBastet’s in the successfully closed B2B deal.
