“We’re delighted to partner with Hollywoodbets, the leading operator in South Africa, as we officially enter this exciting and fast-growing market. Launching Mega Flight and Velocity is just the beginning and we look forward to rolling out more of our real-money games and free-to-play portfolio to their players as part of our long-term plans in the region.”

Wayde Dorkin, Head of Product at Hollywoodbets, added that the deal aligns with the operator’s mission for innovation:

“We’re excited to welcome Incentive Games to Hollywoodbets as part of our ongoing commitment to bringing fresh, engaging and innovative content to our players. The launch of Mega Flight and Velocity introduces a new layer of interactive entertainment to our platform, and this partnership reflects our focus on working with leading global suppliers to enhance our gaming offering.
