Belatra to unveil latest gaming innovations at SBC Summit Americas

 

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, is proud to be exhibiting at SBC Summit Americas, showcasing its latest casino game innovations and market-ready solutions for the LatAm region and beyond.

Belatra will be based at Stand C642 for the Fort Lauderdale summit, with a stand inspired by Mummy’s Multiverse — the vibrant world first introduced in Mummyland Treasures and continued in the smash hit Mummy’s Mines. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in cutting-edge slot releases, discover groundbreaking solutions, and engage with industry pioneers driving the future of gaming.

Belatra’s LatAm presence in the U.S. will be led by Latin America Commercial Director Andrés Troelsen. A core focus of his time in Florida will be exploring new partnerships, engaging with current clients and sourcing opportunities in the region. Belatra Games welcomes all attendees to visit the C642 stand, experience its latest titles, and engage in meaningful discussions about the future of iGaming in Latin America.

Belatra will also sign off the show with the official launch of a brand-new game on May 15th, the final day of the exhibition.

Andrés Troelsen, Belatra Games’ Commercial Director for Latin America, said: “LatAm forms a huge part of our growth strategy as we continue to make strides in this exciting region. SBC Americas gives us a wonderful chance to showcase our burgeoning portfolio that’s been carefully curated to deliver the best localised experiences for LatAm’s array of casino players.”

Asia’s award-winning B2B provider to offer LatAm some of best commercial terms available

Zenith, Asia’s premier iGaming platform provider and a leading B2B ecosystem enabler, has today announced a pivotal move set to transform the iGaming landscape across the world: the provision of PGSoft games at unbeatable rates via its award-winning OneAPI platform and a direct integration through GamesAPI.

As the world’s largest distributor of PGSoft games, Zenith’s position means it can leverage the most competitive commercial terms for operators throughout the LatAm continent.

This strategic initiative directly addresses the soaring demand for PGSoft titles, which have become immensely popular in the region, with fan favourites like Fortune Tiger dominating engagement charts, particularly in Brazil.

PGSoft’s portfolio resonates deeply with LatAm players due to its mobile-first design, culturally relevant themes, and engaging gameplay mechanics. By offering these high-demand games at unrivalled rates, Zenith empowers its partners to significantly boost player acquisition and retention, thereby accelerating their revenue generation in a highly competitive market.

Zenith’s latest strategic offering underscores the provider’s rapid and sustained expansion across Latin America, building on recent, significant partnerships. Zenith’s OneAPI platform, recognised as SiGMA Asia’s Best Aggregator in both 2023 and 2025, provides a seamless, single-integration gateway to an expansive library of over 10,000 games from 150+ global and local studios.

This comprehensive solution, bolstered by Zenith’s robust, localised server infrastructure across LatAm, ensures optimal performance, minimal latency, and a superior player experience for even the most popular and high-traffic titles.

Karina Moral, Senior Business Development Manager at Zenith, commented: “As the world’s largest distributor of PGSoft games, we’re now able to offer truly unbeatable rates to our LatAm partners via both OneAPI and GamesAPI.

“This is a game-changer, giving operators direct access to incredibly popular content at the best commercial terms on the continent. Combined with our robust localised infrastructure and recent partnerships like CP Games and Jugamax, Zenith is firmly committed to driving sustainable growth across Latin America.”
