Mahjong Logic, a leading peer-to-peer online mahjong software provider, has signed up BetMotion as a licensee, enabling it to enter the Latin American market.
BetMotion offers online casino, sports, poker and now mahjong as part of its game offering. “We are thrilled to be partnered with such a well respected brand which understands and appreciates the potential of online mahjong,” said Jonas Alm, Mahjong Logic’s CEO.
“Entering the Latin American market for us reinforces the fact that mahjong truly is a global game that is growing in popularity each day throughout the world. Brazil alone has close to 1.5 million ethnic Japanese who would be ideal player candidates already familiar with our Riichi rule set.”
With close to five million Asians in the region, the game of mahjong has deep roots and history with many residents. The partnership involves a fully integrated and seamless solution for user log-in and wallet. Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish language will be added to the ever-growing language list in order to serve this market. English, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Korean and Vietnamese are already available.
“We are very excited to offer the world’s leading online mahjong software to our customer base,” said Martin Benitez, managing director of BetMotion. “The Asian population here in Latin America is quite large and growing fast. Our player base has been asking for mahjong for quite some time now. Diversification of our game product which appeases our consumer appetite is exactly what we are looking for and achieving with this partnership.”
