Veteran executive tasked with expanding PG Soft across Latin America and leading strategy in Brazil as regulation evolves.

PG Soft has appointed Hugo Baungartner as General Manager LatAm, handing him responsibility for the supplier’s commercial expansion across Latin America and its strategy in Brazil.

The company said Baungartner will focus on growing the business in Brazil, where PG Soft says it has already captured a “significant share of the market,” while building presence across regulated markets in the wider region.

Baungartner brings more than 29 years of experience across technology and gaming. He has held leadership roles at Grupo Aposta Ganha, RCT Gaming, Prohards and most recently Esportes Gaming Brasil, according to the company.

PG Soft also pointed to Baungartner’s network across Latin America’s regulatory landscape, including relationships with Brazil’s Secretariat of Prizes and Betting (SPA/MF), the Federal Revenue Service, and COAF, as well as Mexico’s Dirección General de Juegos y Sorteos and AIEJA (the Mexican Gaming Association).

Hugo Baungartner, General Manager LatAm at PG Soft, commented: “PG Soft’s brand needs no introduction in Latin America thanks to its extensive portfolio of world-class, mobile-first games that resonate strongly with players. The company is only just getting started in the region, and I look forward to building on its success in Brazil while expanding PG Soft’s presence across regulated markets throughout Latin America.”

BetOnGames, the instant games vertical of the BETCORE ecosystem, has launched Tokyo Skyline Run, a new crash game aimed at iGaming operators. The company said the mobile-first title ships with a 97.5% RTP and is built around short, fast rounds.

Tokyo Skyline Run is set across a neon Tokyo rooftop backdrop and uses a rising multiplier mechanic. Each round centers on a simple cash-out decision: players start the run, track the multiplier as it climbs, and choose when to cash out before a failure ends the round.

BetOnGames positions the release as a thematic extension to its crash portfolio, using anime-inspired character design and visuals including a neon city atmosphere and cherry blossom elements.

The company said the game is designed for “fast player engagement” and for operators seeking more variety in instant games, particularly for audiences that prefer short sessions and high-tempo gameplay.
