GMB - What's new from Mancala Gaming at ICE Barcelona?
Emiliano Sanchez - Mancala came in strong this year. We have a lot of work and several new features planned, both in terms of new promotional methods and updates to our tools.
We are also presenting two main games live: Lucky Forest, which is here at our booth, and Croco Loco, a game that we are planning especially for Latin America, with a focus on Brazil. During the year, we hope to launch more new features at different fairs, including São Paulo.
What is the status of the certification of Mancala games in Brazil this year?
This is an evolving process. We are already working with GLI on this and we hope to have a very positive update for our Brazilian customers in the coming months.
It is very important to meet the requirements of the Secretariat of Prizes and. Was it difficult for Mancala Gaming to follow this process?
Yes, we faced some challenges, such as the issue of setting up an office in the country. That is what we did and now we are working on certifying the games and at the same time receiving approval for our office. Our goal is to certify our entire operation to ensure trust in the management of customer data. This is the process we are currently in.
Is certification in Brazil a difficult process, or have you faced this in other jurisdictions?
It is a process that we are doing in parallel in several jurisdictions. As I mentioned, we had challenges with the office issue, but we have already spoken to GLI and now we just need to start the work. We hope to complete this in a few months. We will start with around 20 certified games and, after that, each new release will be certified.
How is the approach with the operators in Brazil to offer Mancala games going?
They are expecting our certification. We continue working on this to provide games to the Brazilian market, which is very dynamic and growing.
Will Mancala Gaming be at upcoming trade shows in Brazil, such as SBC in Rio de Janeiro and BiS SiGMA in São Paulo?
Yes, we will be at SBC as visitors, but in São Paulo we will have our full stand, with all the strength. We hope to be fully certified for the Brazilian market by then. At that time, we will officially introduce Croco Loco to Brazil.
