Elantil strengthens marketplace portfolio with RubyPlay partnership

Elantil, the pioneering platform solutions provider that’s steadily redefining relationships between operators and suppliers, has announced it has formed a new partnership with RubyPlay that will further extend the range of casino titles available in its online marketplace.
Celebrated for its game’s immersive themes and innovative bonus features, RubyPlay has been recognised across the industry with several notable awards, including FTN Game of the Year for its Mad Hit® Olympic First slot and Favourite Casino Company at the 2023 B.F.T.H Arena Awards.
Fully licensed and regulated in a number of key iGaming jurisdictions across the globe, RubyPlay has consistently raised the bar in terms of what’s possible from an online video slot by introducing a number of ground-breaking game mechanics such as the ever-popular Immortal Ways®, Giga Match® and Go High®.
With this in mind, the provider is certain to be a hugely popular addition to Elantil’s Marketplace and will now be available to all operators via a simple one-click integration, with Elantil giving operators the freedom to contact RubyPlay directly and form the terms of their own agreements.
As this effectively cuts out the middleman and ensures that no extra costs are ever charged on Elantil’s side, operators are given complete control over the length and conditions of their contract and need only enter their login details in the marketplace to enjoy a speedy, hassle-free set-up.
The new partnership will therefore enable Elanti’s operators to quickly integrate and roll out over 100 thrilling casino titles on their platforms, with this further increasing the choice available via Elantil’s Marketplace while also ensuring that RubyPlay’s content reaches more players worldwide.
John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “Since launching Elantil’s Marketplace, we’ve steadily set about building a first-class collection of casino content that’s easily accessible to operators via a simple one-click integration – and the addition of RubyPlay games will certainly strengthen our offering further. Known for their engaging titles and innovative bonus mechanics, we’re sure RubyPlay will prove to be a popular software partner for Elantil’s operators going forward.”
Dr. Eyal Loz, Chief Product Officer at RubyPlay, said: “Much like Elantil, RubyPlay is a company that’s always strived to disrupt the industry through its creative ideas and cutting-edge innovation, so we couldn’t think of a better partner to be teaming up with. Being integrated into Elantil’s Marketplace will ensure that our content is put in front of an even wider audience and we’re really looking forward to supporting their operators.”
