GAMING1’S Zamba.co first to deliver live casino in Colombia
Integration of Evolution content follows vertical’s regulatory approval in April
Leading gaming and sports betting partner GAMING1 has announced its online operator brand Zamba.co as the first site to launch live casino in Colombia.
The launch is the result of half a year’s development between GAMING1’s long-standing live casino partner Evolution, as well as GLI (Gaming Labs International) for the certification and integration process.
Under the deal, Zamba.co is now able to offer Colombian players 52 games from Evolution Gaming’s market-leading catalogue, including roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker, and the studio’s signature gameshows.
Established three years ago as joint venture with Vicca Group, GAMING1’s Zamba.co was the first online casino to be launched by an international supplier in the jurisdiction and was developed under the framework of Coljuegos, the Colombian regulator.
The landmark delivery of Evolution Gaming content via its Zamba.co brand has again affirmed GAMING1’s credentials as one of the world’s most established gaming partners across regulated markets.
Commenting on the launch, Sylvain Boniver, COO & Co-Founder of GAMING1 said: “I am incredibly proud of the outstanding agility demonstrated by our world class teams and am of course delighted that we are the first operator to offer the market live casino.
“We’ve all seen how well the vertical has performed across global markets this year, and with Evolution Gaming’s unbeatable content, I’m sure we’re going to prove to be a real hit with our Colombian players. My congratulations to everybody involved.”
Dedicated to offering an unmatched gaming experience to its players, GAMING1 currently operates more than 20 online gaming brands with land-based partners in Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, France, Serbia, Peru and Colombia.
Shortlisted for multiple SBC Awards, the company has proven itself key this year in migrating its land-based partners online during COVID restrictions and has ambitious plans for global expansion through the close of 2020 and beyond.

Jackpot Digital Receives Approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority
Jackpot Digital, a leading manufacturer of electronic multiplayer dealerless poker tables, has announced that it has received approval from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) to act as a registered supplier of gaming supplies and services to regulated casinos in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
The approval follows the Company’s news release dated February 6, 2024, announcing the signing of a licensing agreement with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) to install the Company’s Jackpot Blitz dealerless poker ETGs into SIGA casinos.
SIGA operates seven casinos and Playnow.com in Saskatchewan. At the outset, SIGA proposes to install Jackpot Blitz machines at its Dakota Dunes and Gold Horse Casino properties, located in Saskatoon and Lloydminster, respectively.
Jackpot CEO Jake Kalpakian said: “We are excited to receive approval as a gaming equipment supplier in Saskatchewan. This represents the first major jurisdictional, non-tribal license received by Jackpot during our continuing expansion into the land-based casino market. We have many more license applications underway in the US and other Canadian provinces, which will dramatically impact our ability to accelerate the rollout of Jackpot Blitz across North America.”

Play Alberta, CSEC Extend Partnership
Teams under the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) banner have expanded their long-term partnership with Play Alberta, the province’s premier iGaming destination. As part of the agreement, the Flames will feature AGLC’s responsible gambling program, GameSense, on their home helmets and a Play Alberta insignia displayed on their home jerseys. The Stampeders, Wranglers, and Roughnecks will integrate the Play Alberta logo onto their uniforms.
“There’s significant importance now to showcase meaningful responsible gambling efforts in the iGaming industry. I’m proud of our initiatives to provide GameSense with such a visible platform. GameSense promotes healthy gambling habits online and in person and including AGLC’s responsible gambling platform over the course of this partnership is a huge accomplishment,” Kandice Machado, Chief Executive Officer at AGLC.
The agreement makes Play Alberta the exclusive sports betting and online gaming partner of the Flames, Wranglers, Stampeders, and Roughnecks. Through the partnership, Play Alberta and CSEC will develop unique partnerships and in-arena giveaways during the season.
“Through GameSense, our partnership with Play Alberta equips our fans with the knowledge required if they wish to participate in gaming while they support their home team. We are both proud and excited to extend our relationship with Play Alberta that makes cheering for our teams that much more fun while also generating revenue to support the quality of life for Albertans,” said CSEC President and CEO Robert Hayes.
Alberta is the first jurisdiction in North America to partner with professional sports franchises and integrate PlayAlberta.ca and social responsibility branding onto uniforms. It upholds AGLC’s commitment to responsible play, raising awareness of GameSense and Self-Exclusion, resources that give bettors the tools they need to make healthy gambling choices.
In addition, proceeds generated through the website go toward the province’s General Revenue Fund. In 2023–24, $235 million was generated for programs and services that Albertans rely on every day through Play Alberta, an increase of more than $42 million from the previous year.
