ZITRO CELEBRATES GROWTH IN PERU WITH EXCLUSIVE ZITRO EXPERIENCE EVENT
Zitro held its Zitro Experience event on June 12th at the exclusive Villa Cosentino in Lima, Peru. The event was a unique opportunity to network in a relaxed atmosphere, while customers enjoyed a spectacular product presentation, followed by a fantastic musical performance.
âOur Zitro Experience event was the perfect opportunity to connect with our clients in Peru,â said Alejandra Burato, Zitroâs Regional Director for Latin America. âAt Zitro, we have a strong commitment to the Peruvian market, and this event was a true celebration of our continued success in the country. Weâve been present in Peru for several years now, and our dedication is reflected in our constant investment of resources, the expansion of our team, and our gradual growth across gaming establishments in the country.â
At this edition of Zitro Experience Peru, the company presented a wide range of new products and games specifically designed for the regionâs audience. Zitro offers Peruvian operatorsâ products with greater added value, characterized not only by the interconnected version of their machines in the same room (LAP) but also by the possibility of interconnecting machines in multiple locations, under a Wide Area Progressive (WAP) network. This product line allows operators to link Zitroâs premium WAP games, on the Altius Glare cabinet, across all their locations.
Zitro also presented games with proven performance in various markets worldwide in recent months. These include âFu Frogâ, âFu Potsâ, and âBilly the Pigâ. Furthermore, the company unveiled its latest releases: âEnergy Linkâ, âDrum Dynastyâ, âNight Linkâ, âHit Selectionâ, and âEpic Empiresâ.
In addition to these titles, Zitro also introduced the new âMega Loungeâ concept. This designated area within the casino features a selection of Zitro games and machines interconnected with each other. All machines playing in the lounge simultaneously will contribute to a MEGA jackpot. When a player wins the MEGA, all machines will celebrate together, providing players with a unique communal gaming experience. âMega Loungeâ allows operators to combine different Zitro games and cabinets under the same concept to offer an enhanced and diverse gaming experience, making it unique in the industry.
Sebastian Salat, Zitroâs President International, added: âOur Zitro Experience event has been a wonderful opportunity to meet, once again, with customers and friends and showcase the products we have developed for the market. This event will undoubtedly solidify our position as the leading casino supplier in Peru and further strengthen our achievements in the region. At Zitro, we are convinced of the enormous potential offered by this market, and therefore, our project focuses on continuing to grow in the country and across LatAm.â
