Trevor Ginsberg, CEO of RubyPlay, said: “Entering a new market is always exciting and this is certainly the case as we begin our journey in South Africa. We believe we will see the same success in Africa as we have recently experienced in Latin America. It’s important for us to enter this new market early and we feel that now is the perfect time for RubyPlay.

“We pride ourselves in our ability to deliver customised content to operators, and we have no doubt that South African players will love our games.”
