Black Lagoon Games to present Next-Gen game families for Africa at SiGMA Africa
Black Lagoon Games, an innovator in immersive gaming, is set to introduce its groundbreaking suite of slot game families at SiGMA Africa, tailored specifically for Africa’s mobile-first audience.
Unlike standalone titles that fade after a few plays, game families create a connected, evolving experience that keeps players engaged. Each family of games is built around a proven theme, familiar mechanics, and progressive features, ensuring players don’t just try a game once – they stay, explore, and return. Black Lagoon Games is launching not just games but entire ecosystems of games, where players seamlessly move between titles within the same game family, discovering new surprises while enjoying a familiar experience.
Black Lagoon Games’ portfolio harnesses the agility of digital play, delivering a dynamic experience that redefines modern gaming. Designed to enhance engagement and nurture loyalty, they evoke the timeless emotional connection of classic slot experiences and the nostalgia of land-based gaming. The content provider’s advanced operator tools further empower partners to create bespoke promotional strategies and heighten player experiences.
Backed by a deep understanding of Africa’s iGaming market, Black Lagoon Games’ solutions address diverse player preferences with features for smaller bet sizes and robust backend performance. This technical prowess ensures that the traditional slot machine feel is translated onto mobile devices, offering both reliability and the cherished familiarity of classic gaming.
The Black Lagoon Games team will be in Cape Town for SiGMA Africa from March 10th to March 12th.
Black Lagoon Games CCO, Jan Ridenfeldt, commented: “For us, SiGMA Africa isn’t just another event, it’s the jewel in the crown of Gaming shows. It’s where Black Lagoon’s vision comes to life. Our mission is to deliver high-quality, truly localised games that appeal to African players and operators. We’re bringing fresh, culturally attuned game families that are authentic, not just reskinned versions of global hits. And with our lightning-fast production and seamless integration, you won’t have to wait to bring these experiences to your players. Be an early adopter and beat your local competition. Let’s meet in Cape Town and make it happen!”

Jeacocks brings more than eight years of experience in the online gaming industry, primarily in finance, regulation and compliance.

In his role, Jeacocks will drive growth for Altenar in South Africa, where it already offers its tailored premium data providers, localised sports offering and mobile app aimed at players in the mobile-first market.
John Quaye, CFO at Altenar, said: “We are delighted to welcome Brendon to the team as he builds our on-the-ground presence in South Africa. His expertise in the market will undoubtedly help us achieve strong growth in our first year as a licensed provider in the country.
“He is well-positioned to forge partnerships and help us tailor our product to meet the region’s growing demand for localised sports betting solutions.”
Brendon Jeacocks, Regional Director at Altenar, said: “I’m pleased to be joining Altenar at such an exciting time for the company’s ambitions in Africa. I’m currently based in Cape Town and will serve as the local point of contact for our operations here.
“I look forward to helping to develop Altenar’s presence in South Africa and connecting with the rest of the industry.”
