Global entertainment group SkillOnNet today announced the launch of Konami Online Interactive’s iGaming portfolio in Mexico, bringing a selection of internationally recognized casino titles from Konami Gaming, Inc. to players through its flagship Spanish-language iGaming site, PlayUZU.

Mexico is the first market in a broader multi-country rollout planned over the coming months, as SkillOnNet and the Japanese gaming giant expand their partnership across additional regulated jurisdictions.

PlayUZU players in Mexico can now enjoy iconic Konami slot titles like China Shores, All Aboard, African Diamond and BOMBERMAN BLAST, a game inspired by Konami’s legendary BOMBERMAN video games.

Although Konami is best known for its video gaming and land-based casino heritage, its digital casino offering has built a built a strong reputation for bringing iconic slots titles to regulated iGaming markets worldwide.

The partnership highlights the increasing importance of Latin America as a growth region within the global online gaming industry, with Mexico emerging as a key regulated market – and it reinforces SkillOnNet’s commitment to delivering top-tier, localised gaming experiences to players across the globe.

Jani Kontturi, Head of Games at SkillOnNet said: “Konami Online Interactive has developed some of the industry’s most recognisable casino titles, and we’re proud to partner with them to introduce this content to our players in Mexico. These are iconic games with proven appeal both on land and online.”

Eduardo Aching, Vice President of iGaming & International Gaming Operations at Konami Gaming, Inc. said: “SkillOnNet’s proven track record makes them an ideal partner as we continue to grow the reach of Konami content internationally. We are excited to expand our games with players in Mexico through this collaboration and further strengthen our presence in Latin America.”
