Regulation, Culture, and Vibrant Economy: SOFTSWISS Identifies Key Factors Driving iGaming Growth in LatAm
Growing acceptance of gambling regulations, cultural values, and the popularity of sports betting are essential factors contributing to the increasing confidence in the LatAm iGaming market, states SOFTSWISS. The company has identified these and other key conclusions in its LatAm market overview on market growth prospects in the region.
Regulation has emerged as a significant force shaping the LatAm iGaming landscape. Countries like Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico have implemented regulatory frameworks and guidelines.
The historical significance of gambling in LatAm countries is another important factor. Countries such as Mexico, with a gambling history dating back to the Aztec empire, and Brazil, known for the long-standing lottery game ‘Jogo do Bicho,’ exemplify the local interest in gambling.
Lotteries and horse races are preferred in countries like Chile, Peru, and Argentina. With a population already familiar with gambling activities, South America presents a receptive market that embraces gaming and is open to innovative experiences.
Industry experts have confirmed several other factors, including high digitalisation, a growing middle class, and a vibrant economy, all pointing towards the immense growth potential of iGaming in LatAm.
Statista predicts that the online gambling market in the region will reach USD 3.4 billion by 2025. In the market overview, SOFTSWISS provides additional country-specific statistics and predictions for the region’s expected GGR growth.
To succeed in the LatAm market, operators must also consider the local audience’s content preferences. Sports betting is highly appreciated, while slots and table games are also popular choices. Surprisingly, ‘fish games‘ have swiftly gained popularity in LatAm, despite being relatively new to the region.
These RNG-based arcade-style games gamify the outdoor fishing experience, one that is further enhanced by visually appealing graphics and immersive audio effects. The growing popularity of fish games is evident through the significant number of bets placed in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru. As a result, integrating with fish game providers becomes a lucrative investment opportunity for expanding into the LatAm market.
However, the Latin American iGaming market also presents challenges, particularly in payment processing. Many countries in LatAm have complex financial regulations and limited access to traditional banking services, making it difficult for players to deposit and withdraw funds from iGaming sites.
Despite these challenges, the region offers numerous opportunities for operators willing to invest. Gregory Penkov, Head of Sales at SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator, emphasises the potential for growth in this market: “By providing innovative products and services and a commitment to regulatory compliance, operators can position themselves for success in this dynamic market. With SOFTSWISS’s experience and expertise in the region, the company is well-equipped to help operators navigate the unique challenges and opportunities the market presents.”

Turbo Duck takes flight in Stakelogic’s newest release

Feathers fly as a fearless duck dukes it out in a cyberpunk arcade in this exhilarating video slot!
Stakelogic has released its most action-packed slot to date with Turbo Duck, a high-octane title that blends intense gameplay with cinematic visuals and a winged hero who refuses to back down.
Set in a post-apocalyptic retro arcade, Turbo Duck follows Quack-9, a fearless duck mecha-pilot ready for action. As the gameplay unfolds, players join Quack-9 in the fight for control and massive multipliers.
Played across a 5-reel, 4-row grid with 15 fixed paylines, the game introduces a mix of Mystery Wilds, instant-win multipliers and three escalating Bonus Game modes.
Mystery Symbols land on reels 2 and 4, revealing either a Blue Wild, a Red Multiplier Wild up to 10x, or directional arrows that place additional Wilds nearby. During Free Spins, Blue Wilds can also award +2 extra Free Spins.
Landing three Bonus Symbols triggers 10 Free Spins and activates the Bonus Wheel, which determines one of three Free Spin variants: Bonus, Mega or Ultra. Each mode increases win potential through higher multiplier frequency and persistent Mystery Symbols. The most volatile mode, Ultra, removes all low-value multipliers and guarantees one high-value multiplier on every spin.
Multiplier Symbols appear in three tiers: Blue (2x–50x), Green (5x–100x), and Red (5x–500x with MAX WIN potential) and award instant prizes based on the base bet. The Turbo Blast feature, which can trigger on any spin, sees one to three multipliers onto the reels, with at least one guaranteed to be from the highest tier. When Multiplier symbols land on the reels Quack-9 will fire into life, destroying them for reveals that keep you on the edge of your seat.
For players who want to take control, Turbo Duck includes a Buy Bonus option with three entry levels, as well as the option to activate Super Stake™, doubling the chance of triggering Free Spins.
James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, said: “Turbo Duck is a slot that really plays to our strengths. From the stylised visuals to the cinematic pacing, it’s built to stand out. While the theme adds plenty of character, it’s the underlying math that drives the experience, with a carefully balanced mix of volatility, momentum and feature depth designed to keep players engaged.”
