Apparat and Rootz unite in all-German content deal
Developer of slots with a German accent integrates full suite of games across operator’s Wildz Casino, Caxino Casino and Wheelz Casino brands which have just been licensed in Germany
Apparat Gaming, the developer of slot games with a German accent, has added yet another big-name operator to its growing list of partners after joining forces with Rootz.
The deal will see Apparat Gaming’s unique slots with a German accent be made available to players across the operator’s three award-winning online casino brands, Wildz Casino, Caxino Casino and Wheelz Casino, for the first time.
The timing of the partnership could not be better with Rootz having just become the tenth operator to secure a licence in the recently regulated German market. The addition of Apparat’s slots to its game lobbies will help to position the operator as a true market leader.
Apparat is one of the most in-demand game developers in regulated markets due to its German approach to development, with a focus on quality, engineering and providing plenty of Augenweide (eye candy) with absolutely no sense of humour(!) to ensure a superior player experience across its games.
This includes titles such as Total Eclipse, The Warlock’s Book, King of the Vikings, Pharaoh Princess and Black Book of Pirates. The partnership also includes all of Apparat’s future slot releases like the November 2nd release of Fruits First, with a busy product roadmap set for the coming months.
Martin Frindt, Chief Product Officer at Apparat Gaming, said: “It’s great to see that Rootz understands the language we speak and has opted to add our slots with a German accent to the game lobbies of its Wildz Casino, Caxino Casino and Wheelz Casino brands.
“Our slots really are unique. They combine our German accent with a deep knowledge about providing high quality entertainment to the players.”
“We look forward to seeing Rootz use our suite of slots to provide its players in Germany with an online casino experience like no other.”
Joakim Helenelund, Head of Casino at Rootz, added: “What better way to mark our arrival in the German market than by integrating Apparat’s portfolio of slots into the game lobbies of our award-winning casino brands.
“Providing players with access to the best content in the business is a major part of our success story to date, and to be able to offer German players slots that have been developed by Apparat Gaming and that truly capture the essence of Germany is a slam dunk for us.”
