By Lewis - 27 July 2020
Live5 has expanded its geographical reach into the Canadian market after striking a deal with state lottery operator, Loto-Québec.
The deal has been facilitated by distribution partner SG Digital’s OpenGaming product suite and will see Live5’s Billy Gone Wild slot launch to players in the region for the first time.
Billy Gone Wild is the developer’s farm themed slot where players are met by a whacky goat before being introduced to features including Wilds, Free Spins and Re-spins.
Lloyd Butler, CEO of Live5, said: “We have ambitious global expansion plans as we move into the second half of the year and are delighted to have entered the Canadian market with Loto-Québec.
“Canada is an exciting and thriving market and we look forward to seeing Loto-Québec customers play their first spins on Billy Gone Wild’’
“This is just the start of our plans for Canada and we look forward to launching with more operators over the coming months. We will also deliver more titles to Loto-Québec.”
Dylan Slaney, SVP Casino at SG Digital, added: “It’s fantastic to see OpenGaming play such an important role in enhancing Loto-Quebec’s online casino offering with the launch of Live5’s content.
“Our Open Gaming System (OGS) continues to provide lotteries such as Loto-Québec with access to a platform rich full of quality games, including Billy Gone Wild. We’re delighted to have facilitated Live5’s entry into Canada and look forward to expanding its reach further through OpenGaming.”
