Gaming Corps makes high-profile signing with Betway partnership in Africa
Betway players in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania and Zambia can enjoy Gaming Corps’ full games suite
Gaming Corps — the Swedish specialist in arcade-style casino games — has added another leading industry name to its list of partners after reaching an agreement with Betway Group, covering four territories in Africa.
Betway Group is a member of Super Group. Since being founded in 2006, the operator has become a leading provider of innovative and exciting entertainment across sports betting, casino and esports betting. The brand has become very familiar with sports fans through a number of high-profile partnerships, such as its front-of-shirt sponsorship with Premier League football club West Ham United.
Betway’s players in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania and Zambia will be able to enjoy Gaming Corps’ full suite of premium games, made up of first-class Crash, Mine, Table and Slot titles, as well as a certified Plinko. Betway will offer some of Gaming Corps’ outstanding successes this year, such as Raging Zeus Mines, Wild Woof, Super Hot Stacks, and more recently Lobster Hotpot. The portfolio also includes classic Gaming Corps titles like Jet Lucky 2 and Coin Miner.
Danielle Calafato, Gaming Corps’ Chief Commercial Officer, said: “I’m thrilled to partner with Betway Group; one of the most recognisable names in online gaming. It will be a pleasure to offer our renowned portfolio of games to Betway’s players in Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania and Zambia.
“This is a significant step forward for Gaming Corps as part of our efforts to grow our brand in Africa, and we hope to bring our expanding list of games to more players across the region. I’m very excited about our upcoming plans and look forward to sharing more in due course.”
Hailee Cook, Product Manager at Betway Group said: “We are always looking for ways to grow and improve our online casino offering, and adding Gaming Corps’ high-quality suite of games will certainly help us do that.
“I’m very excited to offer these games to our players and I look forward to hosting more Gaming Corps titles at Betway as they continue to produce first-class content.”
