BetGames deepens Betano partnership with bespoke crash game launch

Leading games provider BetGames has created a bespoke version of its debut crash game, Skyward, set to launch with the Betano brand for the Brazilian market.
BetGames’ bespoke version of Skyward contains adapted features for players in Brazil. Along with localised animations intended to meet the needs of its players, the project demonstrates the partnership’s commitment to bringing the most immersive gameplay experience possible.
Skyward is a high-energy crash game that engages players in a captivating plane-based adventure—boasting a visually striking design set against an aeriel backdrop, featuring a range of captivating animations that enhance the player’s enjoyment.
This new collaboration enriches Betano’s offer in the emerging Brazilian market. Potential infrastructure challenges with wait time and stability have been counteracted by augmenting the game which combats limited internet connection and preferences with low data consumption.
The gameplay appeals to all levels of gamblers, with a simplistic yet engaging format. Bravery is still the aim for all would-be aviators, with players reaping increasingly favourable rewards the longer they hold their nerve, with the maximum possible multiplier of x100,000.
Betano’s branded version of BetGames’ latest title is another addition to a line of projects that Kaizen Gaming, Betano’s parent company, has tasked the provider with, leveraging its growing reputation for producing tailored content for operators.
Ian Catchick, CPO at BetGames, said: “We’re excited to bring Skyward to Betano and enable its players to experience a dedicated and localised edition of our debut crash game, which has already received a positive reception internationally.
“With the hugely popular, high-frequency aircraft-themed crash game concept, Skyward brings a new level of excitement and engagement to our extensive portfolio of pre-existing games and opens the door to potential future partnerships in the market.”
Christos Mavridis, Head of Live Casino at Kaizen Gaming, said: “Betano is continuously looking to grow all areas of its operation in a competitive yet rewarding environment. Adding the localised version of Skyward to our catalogue of games, with its easy-to-follow format, is another step towards our ultimate goal – to provide the most unforgettable sports betting and gaming experience to our customers. We look forward to watching the aerial action unfold in our own branded game.”
