Slot studio Octoplay is now live in South Africa with Hollywoodbets, giving the Malta-based supplier its first market in Africa and its first partnership with one of the country’s leading online operators.

For the first month, Octoplay’s games will be available to South African players only on Hollywoodbets.

A fourth continent in under four years

South Africa caps a busy year of market openings for Octoplay. Over the past twelve months the studio has launched in:

  • Michigan, with four tier-one operators;
  • Spain, with PokerStars;
  • Alberta, with seven tier-one operators live from day one of the regulated market.

Octoplay is now approved in 21 regulated markets, including the UK, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Romania, Brazil, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Alberta and South Africa. The company, founded in October 2022, works with more than 80 operators and has over 100 slots built on its own RGS, led by its opt-in Jackpot Hunt suite.

What they said

Ralitsa Georgieva, CEO at Octoplay, said:

“Entering South Africa with a month of exclusivity through Hollywoodbets gives our games a proper introduction to players in a market we are new to.” “South Africa is the latest in a long run of market openings for us this year, and the next ones are already underway.”

Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets, said:

“Hollywoodbets continues to bring new and fresh games to its players as its online offering grows. Octoplay’s regular release schedule adds exciting new content so we’re thrilled to give our players the first opportunity to experience Octoplay’s games, which will be available exclusively on the Hollywoodbets platform.”

Hollywoodbets has been adding suppliers at pace; Wazdan launched with the operator in October. Octoplay recently went live with MrQ in the UK.
