Platipus Gaming, a global game provider for online casinos, signed a strategic partnership with Alea, the Spanish-based leading aggregation platform in Europe and the LatAm regions.

Latin America is a key strategic priority for Platipus in 2025, as the region’s fast-growing iGaming market offers both scale and strong growth potential. The Сompany already has a presence in several territories across Latin America, and its partnership with Alea will further strengthen its position in Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Chile and beyond.

“At Alea, we see partnerships like this as true cornerstones of our growth and the value we deliver to operators. Platipus’ creativity, innovation, and dedication to quality perfectly align with our mission to provide operators in Europe and Latin America with the most engaging content through the most reliable aggregation platform. This collaboration is more than a commercial agreement; it’s a shared commitment to helping each other grow and succeed in the markets where we lead.” – says Ramon Glieneke, COO at Alea.

This alliance opens up new opportunities for Platipus to grow strategically in Latin America, as well as in some European countries. Due to Alea’s strong reputation among local operators, Platipus gains access to an extensive network of trusted partners. This will help accelerate integrations, optimize entry into new markets, and ensure a smoother, faster go-live process for its games.

This time, we are pleased to introduce even more players from Europe and Latin America to our exciting gaming portfolio,”– comments Stanislav Mykhailov, Platipus Gaming CCO.

Multi-regional partnership between Platipus and Alea demonstrates strategic flexibility and geographic diversification. Moreover, this alliance allows to cover the players both from Latin American and European markets, and reach a wider audience globally.

Platipus continues building its global presence in the frames of its expansion strategy and remains committed to being a reliable partner helping to deliver high-quality experiences for the players worldwide. The Company plans to expand its presence in new countries in the region, strengthen existing partnerships and launch even more personalized content to meet the specific needs of each market. Platipus Gaming will continue to invest in innovation, quality and strategic partnerships to accelerate its growth.

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming puts its own spin on the popular mining and gems theme with the release of Crystal Clusters.

Crystal Clusters takes players on an immersive journey deep into a gemstone mine, where dark visuals and an upbeat soundtrack create a mysterious and exciting atmosphere.

The game utilises the popular cluster-pay gameplay mechanic, with wins formed when players land clusters of matching symbols on the reels. Each win triggers a cascading effect, with winning symbols being removed and new ones falling from above.

Multiplier cells and sticky multipliers in both the base game and the Free Spins round make the popular mechanics feel even more rewarding.

Crystal Clusters boasts a highly volatile math model with an impressive 96.50% RTP and a maximum win of up to 5,000x the player’s stake. For those eager to jump into the action, a bonus buy feature allows players to purchase direct entry into the bonus round for 100x their stake.

Julia Alekseeva, CPO at BGaming, said: “Cluster pays games have proven extremely popular with players in recent years, and with Crystal Clusters, we have taken everything players love about the mechanic and enhanced it.

The slot does an excellent job of combining a much-loved theme with dynamic features and an excellent math model, and we can’t wait for our players to start mining their way to big wins.”
