PRAGMATIC PLAY MAINTAINS 2021 MOMENTUM WITH THREE MORE AWARD WINS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content provider to the iGaming industry, received esteemed industry recognition by winning 3 awards last week.
They took home the prestigious prize of Casino & Games Supplier of the Year at the SBC Latino America Awards held in Miami. While the multi-product provider also picked up Slots Provider of the Year and Bingo Supplier of the year at the Starlet Awards ran by 5 Star.
These wins are testament to the hard work and innovation that has made Pragmatic Play a leading force in the industry. In what has been an incredible 2021 from a commercial perspective, receiving formal recognition in this way adds to an already exceptional year.
Lighting up LATAM
Pragmatic Play’s diverse, innovative and highly successful portfolio made them a strong choice for Casino & Games Supplier of the Year at the SBC Latino America Awards. Pragmatic Play has seen huge growth in this region in the past year and have made deals with numerous key operators such as Codere, Group Cordalito and Apuesta Total. Add to this the scale of their overall expansion in key countries and it was a deserving win for the powerhouse provider.
Shining Star
Pragmatic Play also won Slot Provider of the Year at 5 Star’s Starlet awards. The provider’s roots are in slot production and despite their growth in other verticals, they have still delivered unrelenting quality to operators. 2021 has been no different with successes like Gates of Olympus™, Fruit Party 2™ and Chilli Heat Megaways™ building on the long-term performance of iconic titles like Wolf Gold™ and Sweet Bonanza™. With a portfolio of over 200 proven HTML5 titles, it’s easy to see why Pragmatic Play remain such an attractive option for operators looking to enhance their slot offering.
The work Pragmatic Play have put into their bingo product was also recognised and it marks the third year in a row that Pragmatic Play have won the Starlet award for Bingo Supplier of the Year, giving them the rare Stardust award. Pragmatic Play’s bingo offering has seen huge developments in the last year with innovative new features such as Drop Pots and Reels Rooms, which allow for a faster iGaming experience in conjunction with classic bingo gameplay.
Their commercial success was also recognised, with the highlight being a partnership with the Heart Bingo brand which is part of BetVictor. Heart Bingo is one of the UK’s most iconic bingo brands and will be relaunched using bingo technology from Pragmatic Play. The partnership was a huge statement of intent from Pragmatic Play and signalled that the largest bingo brands recognize real value in the providers portfolio.
Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play said, “We’re delighted to receive two Starlet Awards along with an SBC LatinoAmerica award win. These wins give a real example of Pragmatic Play’s trajectory as a company, as we continue to deliver excellence on our foundation of slot production, while also showing our growth as a multi-product provider with our bingo product giving real value to clients.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to five new slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino, Virtual Sports and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through one single API.
