The integration of Zoom Soccer is facilitated by Logifuture’s existing relationship with Aristocrat Interactive. Through Aristocrat Interactive’s digital gaming platform, Logifuture is bringing its sophisticated products to millions of players across emerging markets, including Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Central America.

Niccolo Cassettari, Chief Business Development Officer at Logifuture, shared: “We’re thrilled that sports fans in Mexico will now have the flexibility to experience Zoom Soccer, our 24/7 feed of virtual leagues, at their convenience. Offering both pre-match and in-play betting, it delivers an experience that closely mirrors real football, keeping users continually entertained.

“At Logifuture, we’re dedicated to meeting the need for dynamic, captivating sports products, and expanding Zoom Soccer’s presence helps us achieve that goal and we’re excited to continue working together to bring the excitement of virtual sports to the Mexican market.”
