US – Pixiu games available in North America via SG’s OpenGaming ecosystem
By Lewis - 19 May 2021
Scientific Games has signed a multi-year agreement with Pixiu Gaming, the bespoke games developer, to exclusively distribute Pixiu’s games into North American regulated markets through its OpenGaming ecosystem.
Pixiu develops Keno, Baccarat and Reactor titles for partners in Canada including Loto Québec, British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) and Atlantic Lottery Corporation (ALC).
As part of the new partnership, customers of OpenGaming, the content aggregation platform by Scientific Games, will have exclusive access to Pixiu’s content.
Pixiu’s first game for the New Jersey market, Lucky Squeeze Baccarat, is set to go live via the OpenGaming platform with select partners later this year. Featuring an eight-deck shoe, full ‘5 Roads’ scoreboard and full player control to squeeze the cards, Lucky Baccarat Squeeze aims to redefine interactive Baccarat.
Tony Plaskow, Pixiu Gaming Founder, said: “We are thrilled to be extending our partnership with Scientific Games into the growing U.S. market. With a focus on high quality, intuitive games, often customised with our partners’ logos, Scientific Games is a natural partner for us and we look forward to launching more exciting titles through the year.”
Dylan Slaney, SVP Gaming, Digital at Scientific Games, added: “Our deal with Pixiu reflects the reach and power of the OGS. By continuously adding more quality content from a wide range of providers such as Pixiu, we’re generating strong momentum within the North American market.
“We look forward to building on our long-standing relationship and working with Pixiu to bring new and unique mechanics to our partners throughout the U.S.
“With a focus on non-slots products, including powerful Keno, Baccarat, and Reactor titles, Pixiu gives operators the opportunity to reach new players and differentiate their portfolios away from slots.”
