International Game Technology PLC  announced that it has replaced a competitor’s system with its IGT ADVANTAGE® Casino Management System (CMS) at the newly reopened Carousel Casino in North West Province, South Africa, which now features the country’s first-ever deployment of the IGT ADVANTAGE Resort Wallet carded cashless module.

“We selected the IGT ADVANTAGE CMS for the Carousel re-launch due to its proven stability, user-friendly configuration, and ability to automate more parts of the business, which frees our staff to focus on delivering a superior gaming experience to patrons,” said Mario Morfou, Chairman of the Board of Directors for Lakama Resorts and Casino. “In addition, IGT’s on-the-ground support team implemented the new system flawlessly within a compressed timeframe, reinforcing IGT’s status as a leader in systems service and customer support.”

“The delivery of our IGT ADVANTAGE solution to the newly reopened Carousel Casino demonstrates the power and reliability of our system in South Africa’s Class III casino vertical,” said Mark MacCombie, IGT Vice President, Sales and Operations, EMEA. “Carousel can now benefit from IGT’s proven solution to maximize floor performance, generate incremental revenue, simplify operations, and increase player loyalty.”

The Carousel Casino will be deploying a proven suite of IGT ADVANTAGE products that include Machine Accounting, Patron Management, Cage and Table Accounting, and Table Manager, as well as several powerful marketing products such as Carded Lucky Coin and M5. M5 is a powerful tool enabling dynamic HTML5 content creation for the sbNexGen® II multimedia player tracking display, giving Carousel patrons a modern casino experience with enhanced interfaces, targeted messaging, and engaging bonusing.

The IGT ADVANTAGE CMS, which connects 400 machines at the property, provides a complete toolset to help drive business outcomes and improve operational efficiency. Its breadth of features is based on nearly three decades of use in the field, and includes the most comprehensive and flexible cashless offering available.

The IGT ADVANTAGE Resort Wallet carded cashless module maximizes the guest experience at Carousel with a true single-card solution, giving players the option to easily move funds from game to game using their club card. Integration with Carousel’s patron management and point-of-sale systems means players gain quick and easy access to their gaming balances, players club rewards, and property services and amenities using a single card, reducing operational costs, increasing club membership, and driving carded play.

The Resort Wallet solution is a turnkey, add-on product for IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system customers who want to give players a cashless wagering option through a physical loyalty card, a mobile app, or both. It is also available with IGTPay, the Company’s proprietary, fully integrated external funding payments gateway.

Carousel Casino has been one of South Africa’s most popular entertainment destinations since it first opened in 1991. Following closure in March 2020 due to pandemic-related restrictions, the site was acquired by Betanogenix affiliate Lakama Resorts and Casino, a subsidiary company of the Lakama Group of Companies which holds interests in multiple gaming operations in the country, including Class II (bingo) and Independent Site Operator (ISO) locations. IGT has supplied Betanogenix with the majority of the operator’s electronic bingo terminals since 2017.

Nigeria’s latest sports betting brand, Betcamp, has officially unveiled Nigerian football legend, Samson Siasia, and renowned broadcaster, Guinness World Record holder and media personality, Mighty George, as brand ambassadors.

The unveiling ceremony was held at the company’s Abuja headquarters and marks another major milestone for the fast-rising sports betting platform, which officially went live on May 25, 2026.

The appointments reflect Betcamp’s commitment to partnering with personalities who embody excellence, credibility, resilience and innovation, while strengthening its connection with sports fans and entertainment audiences across Nigeria.

Samson Siasia remains one of the most accomplished figures in Nigerian football history. As a player, he was part of Nigeria’s historic 1994 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad and represented the country at its first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance in the US.

He later distinguished himself as a coach, leading Nigeria’s Flying Eagles to the FIFA U-20 World Cup Final in 2005, winning Olympic Silver in Beijing 2008 and Olympic Bronze in Rio 2016.

Mighty George is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated broadcast personalities. A multiple award-winning journalist and presenter, he is the current Guinness World Record holder for the Longest Talk Show and the penultimate recipient of the Nigerian Presenter of the Year Award. Through his work in broadcasting, live events and sports media, he has built a reputation as one of the country’s most engaging and influential media figures.

As part of the partnership, Mighty George will serve as the official host of “Inside The Camp,” a new podcast powered by Betcamp. The platform will feature engaging conversations with sports icons, entertainers, business leaders and influential personalities, offering audiences unique insights into their lives, careers and experiences.

Speaking after the unveiling, Siasia expressed his excitement at joining the Betcamp family.

“I am excited about this journey and look forward to the growth and success of the brand. I have had the opportunity to closely observe the vision and commitment of the people behind Betcamp, and I can confidently say this is a brand built on integrity, professionalism and innovation. I am proud to be associated with a platform that is committed to serving sports fans and punters across Nigeria.”

Mighty George also expressed delight at the endorsement and the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the brand.

“I am truly excited to be joining Betcamp at such an important stage of its journey. From my interactions with the team, it is clear that this is a brand driven by innovation, integrity and a genuine passion for sports. I am honoured by the confidence reposed in me and look forward to helping build meaningful connections with sports fans across Nigeria while creating engaging and impactful conversations through Inside The Camp.”

Speaking on behalf of the company, Betcamp Lead Strategist, Mr. Ifiok Albert, described the appointments as a significant step in the company’s growth strategy.

“We are delighted to welcome Samson Siasia and Mighty George to the Betcamp family as Brand Ambassadors. Both individuals represent values that align perfectly with our brand — resilience, excellence, discipline, commitment, professionalism and consistency. Their achievements in their respective fields have earned them credibility and respect, making them ideal partners as we continue to build a trusted and innovative sports betting platform.”

He added that the company remains committed to delivering premium sports betting experiences powered by innovation, transparency and customer satisfaction.

Since officially going live on May 25, 2026, Betcamp has continued to establish its presence within Nigeria’s sports ecosystem through a series of fan engagement initiatives and strategic activations. The brand recently hosted a successful football viewing experience in Abuja on May 30 and is set to continue its nationwide engagement drive with activations across key cities.

As part of its expansion plans, Betcamp will also host a major launch event at its Uyo office this month, bringing together sports enthusiasts, stakeholders, partners and members of the public for a celebration of sports, entertainment and innovation.

With the unveiling of Samson Siasia and Mighty George as Brand Ambassadors, alongside the launch of Inside The Camp, Betcamp is positioning itself as more than a sports betting platform. The company aims to become a leading sports and entertainment brand dedicated to engaging fans, celebrating excellence and creating memorable experiences for Nigerians.
