EGT Digital to present a fascinating product display at its first SIGMA Africa show
EGT Digital along with EGT will participate in this year’s edition of SIGMA Africa for the first time. The iGaming provider will take care to create a long-lasting impression on visitors by presenting them a fascinating selection of its high-potential new and bestselling developments. “Don’t miss the chance to visit our stand 07P on 12 and 13 March and learn how we can make your business even more successful,“ said Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital.
At guests’ disposal will be top-performing products like Bell Link, Clover Chance, High Cash and Single Progressive Jackpot, which will show the exciting world of over 100 in-house developed slot titles. Among the main highlights will be Sugar Duke and Aztec Rush, the latest additions to Clover Chance.
Aztec Rush, as its name suggests, will reveal the world of the eponymous ancient civilization and will challenge those eager for adventures to win Emperor’s gold, while the toppling reel feature adds even more thrill to the game with its promises for hidden treasures.
Sugar Duke will present to players the Fun-fair, where Mr. Sugar Duke and his sweet companions will be waiting to take them on a dizzying tour, full of countless surprises and bonuses.
EGT Digital will showcase its instant games as well, standing out with their original design, classic rules and smooth gameplay.
The in-house developed all-in-one betting platform X-Nave will be also on display to demonstrate its 4 modules: CRM Engine, Sport product, Casino aggregator and Payment Gateway. All of them can be both part of the turnkey solution or operate separately, as they allow integration with developments of third-party providers.
The CRM Engine provides a wide range of player management tools and bonus features. Visitors will become familiar with the numerous options for bonus campaigns, as well as its platform tournament module, which now offers opportunities for play with sports bets and a completely new type of tournament based on a competitive principle. The module will present its updated loyalty program and player journey tools too.
EGT Digital’s Sport product features competitive sports and esports coverage, virtual gaming, reliable real-time betting data, a great number of markets, and industry-leading accuracy. It will showcase its latest upgrades, providing operators with different tools to enrich their clients’ experience such as the in-house developed Feed aggregator, the Bet Builder for pre-match, as well as the Predefined Boost on Мultiple bets.
X-Nave’s Casino aggregator will also reveal its impressive portfolio, giving access to more than 10 000 games of more than 110 providers and guaranteeing instant revenue, operations, and game offering boost.
The live Payment Gateway enables end-to-end payment management through the user interface. It allows the operation of all payment methods and their limits on the payment pages, provides multiple integrations of various payment methods, reports and dashboards for analysis and is PCI-DSS Level 1 Compliant.
Ms. Drumeva concluded: “African countries are among our priority markets. I am pleased to say that we have already started partnerships with several operators in South Africa and the performance demonstrated by our games so far has been excellent. I believe that our participation in SIGMA Africa will give us the chance to meet with many more potential customers from the region who will be able to see and try our products on site and this will have as a result many more deals closed.”
SOFTSWISS, a global tech provider with over 15 years of iGaming expertise, proudly announces the launch of its major South African project with Mzansibet. It marks the first project in the country to utilise both the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook and the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform.
According to the recently released South Africa: iGaming Market Overview 2025 by SOFTSWISS, the country’s iGaming sector is growing at an impressive annual rate of 20–25%, driven by increasing mobile penetration. In line with this trend and evolving player needs, SOFTSWISS strongly focuses on mobile optimisation across its platforms, enabling seamless and enjoyable gaming experiences for Mzansibet players.
The launch in South Africa, ensuring full compliance with local technical standards, required meticulous preparation. SOFTSWISS products – including its sports betting software and online casino platform – underwent rigorous certification with Gaming Laboratories International (GLI), one of the most reputable and globally recognised independent testing laboratories in the iGaming industry. Following this process, the solutions were officially approved for local operation by the Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board – a respected and influential regulator in the region – affirming the high quality and compliance of SOFTSWISS software.
Max Trafimovich, International Non-Executive Director at SOFTSWISS, shares: “Mzansibet entered the market with a bold ambition to become a top-tier brand – and we are not only proud to support that vision from day one, but also well-equipped to ensure its sustainable growth. Leveraging our global and local expertise, we provide the technical, business, and service tools necessary for a smooth launch and scalable development. This is made possible thanks to our robust and stable architecture with 99.999% uptime and a flexible platform ecosystem. In addition, the brand launched a nationwide TV advertising campaign and has already attracted tens of thousands of players across the country – a powerful testament to its growing presence and trust.”
In addition to backend certification, the SOFTSWISS team invested heavily in frontend localisation to align with the partner’s vision and market requirements. The Mzansibet project has been fully adapted to meet South African player behaviour and betting patterns.
