This license sale is Boss Media’s first contract with a South American operator. Peter Bertilsson, CEO of Boss Media says, “South America is a new market with a big potential where the common language is a drive to reach players fast.”
Furthermore, Boss Media has delivered new language versions to its software clients. Atlantic Casino and Dr. Ho will now have access to versions in Mandarin and Cantonese.
