Fish Games in Latin America: a Real Catch

Published

on

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

With their roots in the Asian iGaming market and a long history of success in the region, fish games have now found a new wave of popularity in Latin America. Thanks to their easy-to-learn gameplay, the chance to catch a big win while playing something other than slots, these games have quickly become a favourite pastime for many LatAm players. The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, with its partner, game provider KA Gaming, have been observing their rise of popularity and are ready to cover this trend in detail in this article. 

 

FISH GAMES PHENOMENON

Fish games are RNG games for online casinos. These games are based on the concept of fishing, where players use virtual fishing nets or guns to catch fish or other aquatic creatures on the screen. Each shot or reel accounts for a bet, and every fish or character has its ‘value’. When the shot hits the fish, the winning prize is awarded to the players. 

These games often have colourful graphics, lively sound effects, a variety of characters with different point values, and, consequently, the potential for big payouts. Players can win prizes by catching fish and accumulating points for this, and some games even offer bonus rounds or jackpots for particularly skilled players. 

 

FROM ASIA TO LATIN AMERICA

Diving back into the history of fish games, they grew from simple arcade video games in China in the 2000s. Over time, the games became more advanced, with improved graphics, gameplay, and online connectivity, leading them into online casino portfolios. Many Asian iGaming companies now offer players a wide range of fish game options. 

KA Gaming is one of the game providers whose portfolio includes around 50 fish games. In partnership with the SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, they supply these games to operators in different markets via API, including LatAm, where the demand for fish games has increased significantly during the last year.

Argentina, in particular, has emerged as a hotbed for fish games, with KA Gaming’s average number of ‘fish’ bets exceeding 8.5 million a month. This is a significant milestone, especially when compared to Asian countries where fish games have been popular for years. 

The popularity of this game type has also spread to other countries in the region, including Brazil, Chile, and Peru. As players across Latin America continue to discover the excitement and potential rewards of fish games, likely, the popularity of these games will only continue to grow.

Mei Tu, Director of Sales and Marketing at KA Gaming, comments: “We are thrilled by the potential for growth that the Latin American market represents for fish games. With an assumed room for growth in this region, the numbers we see from Argentina are auspicious. While fish games have been popular in Asian countries for many years and have already gained a regular audience, the average monthly spins range from 12 to 25 million. In contrast, the figure of 8.5 million spins per month in Argentina alone is an excellent result, especially considering that fish games have only been gaining popularity for the past year and that slot games remain the most preferred option in the region. We’re excited to see how the popularity of fish games will continue to grow in LatAm and beyond.”

 

REASONS FOR INCREASING POPULARITY IN LATAM

So why have fish games become so popular in LatAm? There are several reasons for this trend. For one, they are easy to learn and play, with simple controls and fast-paced gameplay that keeps players engaged. Additionally, fish games are known for their high payouts, which can attract both casual and serious players alike.

Tatyana Kaminskaya, Head of SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, has also noted that the easy entry threshold, allowing players to place small bets and still win, is a major factor driving the popularity of fish games in LatAm. 

“The trend we’re seeing among players in this region is to place small but regular bets, which sets them apart from players in other regions. Fish games have a high probability of winning due to the ‘frequent catches’ and low betting options.”

Additionally, Tatyana notes that players in LatAm prefer to place bets using mobile devices. Since many fish games offered by operators and gaming providers are mobile-friendly, this is convenient for players in the region, contributing to the increasing popularity of these games.

KA Gaming also highlights the reasons for the rising popularity of fish games in LatAm. Among them, there are the following:

  • Fish games have the element of player interaction in the same rooms (usually 4–6) as they compete to ‘hunt the big fish for big rewards, creating much excitement for the players

  • There are multiple stages of the game, such as the “big boss” stage, where the players expect big wins once they successfully ‘reel in the ‘big boss’

  • The dynamic movement of the fishes and other characters on the screen, the fast pace of the fish hunt coupled with colourful visuals provide a great gamification experience for players

  • In addition, the gameplay learning curve is low compared to other games. KA Gaming usually sets the minimum bet lower than a typical slot game, making it easy for players to dive into the game

Summing up the above, Mei Tu adds: “Good games will always be good, regardless of culture and geography. Fish games’ exciting and engaging nature attracts players seeking a unique experience. Physical table fish games have already proven popular in North America, so we believe that with proper exposure and availability in the LatAm market, fish games will also gain popularity. It may take some players a warm-up or educational period, but it will also attract new players to iGaming who originally enjoyed arcade games.”

The SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator and KA Gaming have joined forces to provide top-notch content to operators in various regions, including supplying fish and hunting games to online casinos in LatAm. KA Gaming’s fish games, such as KA Fish Hunter, Poseidon’s Secret, Golden Dragon, Three Head Dragon, and Happy Food Hunter, are among the most popular titles among LatAm players in the content hub’s portfolio.

Tatyana Kaminskaya says: “We will continue to monitor the increasing popularity of fish games in LatAm. We recognise the potential for growth in this region beyond, and recommend operators to add this type of games to their online casinos The surge in popularity of certain game types reinforces this belief. Our portfolio boasts over 16,000 games available to LatAm clients, complete with API integration, exceptional service, and a range of tools that boost player engagement rates in online casinos. Notably, our recently launched Tournament Tool has already been tried out by several clients and has shown great promise.”

Internet Vikings and SB Software Partnership Transforms Infrastructure Performance for iGaming Operator Editec

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Internet Vikings, a licensed hosting provider for the European and U.S. iGaming and online sports betting industry, and SB Software a B2B provider of iGaming platforms, share the success of their partnership in transforming performance outcomes for Editec, a multinational gaming operator serving over 20 countries and operating among others such brands as: PremierBetZone, PremierLotoZone, ZoneGold, etc. 

The Challenge: Infrastructure Bottlenecks Threaten Growth 

As Editec was growing dynamically, it required the implementation of the best available server solution. Simply adding storage was inefficient, creating persistent bottlenecks that threatened the operator’s expansion plans and the quality of the user experience.

The Turning Point: Purpose-Built iGaming Infrastructure 

SB Software, Editec’s trusted platform provider, began conversations with Internet Vikings, an established iGaming-focused hosting provider to deliver a comprehensive solution combining advanced platform capabilities with specialized hosting infrastructure to secure platform and operator’s growth. Internet Vikings implemented a VMware vSAN-based cloud solution specifically optimized for high-demand iGaming workloads. The new setup delivers up to 20,000 (input/output operations per second) per virtual machine with average throughput of 600-700 MB/s representing an enormous performance improvement over the previous solution.

“Internet Vikings stood out through their technical transparency, great account management, and understanding of the specific industry needs,” said Kamil Głowacki, CTO at SB Software. “They provided clear performance benchmarks and a detailed roadmap that addressed our client’s exact requirements.” 

Measurable Results Across Multiple Markets 

The partnership has delivered significant improvements across Editec’s operations:

Performance Enhancement: Virtual machines now handle peak loads without degradation, supporting seamless user experiences during high-traffic periods.

Operational Efficiency: Unified back-office management across all 20+ countries, with multi-language and multi-currency support, custom loyalty programs, and specialized odds management.

Scalable Architecture: Infrastructure designed to support continued growth and market expansion without performance compromise.

“SB Software’s flexibility in tailoring solutions to our business requirements has been exceptional,” added the Editec spokesperson. “Combined with Internet Vikings’ hosting expertise, we now have a technology foundation that can scale with the platform and our ambitions.” 

Industry Implications 

The successful partnership demonstrates the value of specialized providers in the iGaming sector, where standard hosting solutions often fall short of industry-specific performance requirements.  “This collaboration shows how purpose-built infrastructure and flexible platform solutions can transform operational outcomes,” said Rickard Vikström, CEO and Founder of Internet Vikings. “When hosting providers truly understand iGaming demands, operators can focus on growth rather than technical limitations.” 

For iGaming operators looking for a powerful and scalable platform supported by a hosting provider that truly feels the industry, the Editec–SB Software–Internet Vikings story shows a clear blueprint of an alliance for success.
