RubyPlay is preparing to make its maiden voyage into the Ontarian market after securing an online gaming licence from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

The Malta-based slot provider will now be able to provide its catalogue of proprietary slot releases to players in Ontario, securing a significant step for expansion in the North American market. 

Dr. Eyal Loz, Chief Product Officer at RubyPlay, commented: “Our goal at RubyPlay is to bring our expansive portfolio of unique and innovative games to as many players as possible around the world. We’re therefore thrilled to have obtained our Ontario licence and build our reach in Canada.”

Following the regulatory approval, RubyPlay slot titles are set to become available in the market, with players gaining access to slots such as Immortal Ways Diamonds, Mayan Cache and Diamond Explosion 7s. 

Loz added: “RubyPlay has an outstanding track record empowering our partner’s brands through our innovative and time relevant product offering. We believe that North America will be a strong growth engine for us, where building and maintaining a strong brand is key.”

The move follows the studio’s recent entries in the North American market, where it established a presence by securing approval for New Jersey, partnering with Rush Street Interactive and FanDuel. 

RubyPlay has also placed focus on the European market in recent deals, gaining growth in Italy with Flutter’s Sisal brand and in the Netherlands with 711.

On the former, Loz commented: “Partnering with Sisal, a trailblazer in the Italian gaming industry, marks an exciting chapter in RubyPlay’s journey.”

Adding that the collaboration reinforces the group’s dedication to the Italian market to “raise the bar for player engagement and entertainment across the country.”
