Konami Gaming has entered Brazil’s regulated gambling market with the launch of its online casino games.
Konami’s online casino titles are now available to players in Brazil on Kaizen Gaming’s Betano brand, which is the leading online betting and gaming site in the market.
“The first ever Brazilian debut of Konami’s popular casino games is a significant milestone for our iGaming division, and our global company as a whole,” said Tom Jingoli, president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming. “Online players can enjoy a large library of Konami slot creations beloved in land-based markets from Las Vegas to Macau for many years, with the assurance of Betano’s secure platform, which is the most popular in the country.”
Evangelos Dedoulis, director of product, gaming and rewards at Kaizen Gaming, commented: “Our focus on delivering the most exciting, innovative and responsible online gaming experiences has been integral to establishing Betano as Brazil’s market leader. “We constantly enrich the variety of games available, offering options found on no other platform. Such is the case now, as we become the first operator in the country to launch real-money Konami slots.”
“Through close cooperation and shared action, Konami and Kaizen Gaming have taken a partnership that began in Canada’s real-money gaming sector, and expanded it to one of the largest emerging markets on the globe,” added Eduardo Aching, vice president of iGaming & international gaming operations at Konami Gaming. “Our organization is excited to be part of Betano’s success in Brazil, and support the region with slot entertainment beloved by players for over 20 years.”
