Greentube’s Michael Bauer lauds North American success

Greentube CFO and CGO Michael Bauer hailed the success of its expansion across North America during an interview with Jessica Welman, Editor of SBC Americas.

Speaking at SBC Summit Lisbon, Bauer explained that the slot developer is now partnered with “all the big operators in the U.S.”.

Last month, the firm secured a “landmark deal” to roll out its content with market leader FanDuel in multiple states, including Michigan and New Jersey. Earlier this year, it also partnered with Caesars Digital, whom it works with in both New Jersey and Michigan.

Across the border in Canada, Greentube is also eyeing expansion into Alberta. Despite news of a delay in the launch of the market, the province is still set to be the latest online jurisdiction.

Alberta is expected to follow Ontario in many respects when it comes to regulation and Bauer expressed his hope that this will mean certain regulatory requirements can be transferred directly from Ontario to help accelerate the process for Greentube. 

“We are in touch with the regulator to see if there are any supplier-specific regulations that we need to fulfill. We are hoping for the passporting of our license from Ontario or the passporting of certificates from Ontario,” explained Bauer.

“I think it just makes more sense to do this because it will benefit the operators, the suppliers and, at the end of the day, the players as they will get a much bigger portfolio of games from the start.”

Bringing the “biggest portfolio ever” to Brazil

Also discussed during the interview was Greentube’s plans for Brazil, as the country stands on the brink of a new regulated online gaming market, and Bauer promised that Greentube will bring its “biggest portfolio ever” to the country.

Although the firm is already live in Brazil with several brands, including Novomatic and SuperBet, Bauer outlined how Novomatic’s digital gaming and entertainment division is “still at the start of its journey” in the region.

“We can do so much more,” explained Bauer. “The next step for us is to develop our game portfolio in this direction [of Brazil] as well. What we have at the moment are slot games and video bingo games, which work especially well in Brazil. But we are missing out on a big chunk, which is crash games and those easier, fast games. 

“That’s why we have now developed crash games within one of our subsidiaries, Capecod. We have a new technology stack as well and we have already integrated this new technology stack into Capecod. When we bring Capecod into Brazil, this will be the biggest portfolio ever that has existed from us. With Capecod games and crash games, with old stack and new stack, everything will be there.”

Bauer also spoke about Greentube’s plans to “get boots on the ground” in Latin America to help improve its service in the region and ensure that operators are not having to work across time zones with personnel in Europe.
