Pragmatic Play Debuts in Alberta’s iGaming Market
Pragmatic Play, a renowned content provider in the iGaming industry, has significantly strengthened its footprint in Canada by entering Alberta's newly regulated online gaming market. This extension is pivotal as it marks the company's commitment to growing its presence in North America.
Following the new regulatory framework, players in Alberta now have access to Pragmatic Play's extensive casino content from the inaugural day of operation. This move comes on the back of the company’s successful ventures in Ontario, setting a precedent for its rapid expansion in Canadian jurisdictions.
Diverse Portfolio Available for Alberta Players
The company has made its slot games and live casino offerings accessible to players in Alberta. These include popular slot titles like Gates of Olympus and the Big Bass series, as well as the newly launched Fury of Anubis. Pragmatic Play's live casino section has also gone live, featuring traditional table games such as blackjack, baccarat, and roulette, alongside innovative game shows like Gates of Olympus Roulette.
This comprehensive portfolio highlights the provider’s versatility and dedication to delivering a wide range of options to players.
Accompanying the launch was a social media post that enthusiastically declared: "We’re live in Alberta from day one as the province’s new regulated iGaming market opens today 🍁". Such announcements are indicative of the excitement surrounding Pragmatic Play’s expansion efforts and its eagerness to enhance the gaming experiences of Canadian players. The certification of its products for the Alberta market was promptly secured, ensuring seamless access for players seeking regulated and secure gaming experiences.
Strategic Expansion Bolsters North American Presence
As part of its strategic plans to broaden its reach, Pragmatic Play's entry into Alberta represents another significant milestone. According to Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, this step marks a new adventure in the realm of regulated iGaming within Canada.
McHugh stated, “Alberta represents an exciting new adventure for regulated iGaming in Canada, and Pragmatic Play is delighted to be among the first suppliers bringing premium entertainment to operators and their players from day one."
She emphasized that this launch is a testament to Pragmatic Play's long-term commitment to the Canadian market. As such, the company is keen on fostering close partnerships with operators across Alberta as the market continues to mature. The expansion into Alberta’s market also aligns with the company’s broader objective of offering its gaming products through a singular API integration, which simplifies the process for operators as they tap into Pragmatic Play’s diverse offerings.
By coinciding with the opening of Alberta's regulated iGaming market, Pragmatic Play not only strengthens its established partnerships in Canada but also solidifies its position as a leader in expanding regulated gaming markets in North America.
