Crown Gaming Mexico, the Mexican subsidiary of the premier Austria-based gaming technology company Novomatic, has conducted its third VIP Experience in Mexico City.

Gambling operators from around the country gathered for the events to have a real-time experience with a selection of new products. There was a special theme for the event: the Voodoo Fortunes slot game.

The game was presented for the first time in Mexico on the Panthera Curve 1.43 cabinet, which delivers the game in impressive 4K resolution on a 43ins curved display. Created by Winfinity Games, a Novomatic studio, Voodoo Fortunes is part of the Fortunes game series and impressed at the event with its detailed graphics and engaging gameplay.

The main attraction of the machines was their compatibility to the Enchanted Fortunes linked jackpot that features a four-level linked progressive and can connect multiples of the same game as well as a variety of titles.

Also displayed on the event were the widely popular Imperator 3.24 black edition and Impera Line HD Edition 6, which featured games such as Amazon’s Diamonds and Blue Moon.

Codere has become the latest operator to launch an online betting website in Colombia after obtaining a licence from national regulator Coljuegos.

The licence will run for a five-year period and cover sports betting online, via mobile and various face-to-face channels.

Codere will operate in Colombia through its ‘Codere Apuestas’ brand, which, as a result, will expand its current service offering from game rooms, bingo halls and casinos in the country.

Confirmation of the launch comes after Codere was earlier this month reported to have picked up a licence in the expanding Colombia online gaming market.

In October 2016, Colombia became the first jurisdiction in Latin America to formally approve online gambling, and regulator Coljuegos has issued a number of licences in recent months to allow companies to offer services legally.

Wplay.co picked up the first licence under new national laws in the country back in June and has since struck up a partnership with Quickfire to offer a selection of content from Microgaming.

Corredor Empresarial has also rolled out Betplay.com.co, while GAMING1 and Vicca Group have launched Zamba.co, while domestic operator Colbet last month acquired its own online gambling licence.

Gaming media reported the Codere launch comes after Coljuegos president Juan B. Perez Hidalgo stated that the regulator expects to award “at least two more” online licences before the end of the year.

Coljuegos also recently announced that it is to allow licensed operators to offer live online casino and share global liquidityfor online poker and exchange betting.
