Igaming software developer Softweave has entered the Canadian market for the first time as the company launches its Winafar product.
Winafar allows casino players to play at physical slot machines located on real casino floors from home via their desktop computers and mobile devices.
Roy Greenbaum, CEO of Softweave, said: “We are delighted for the opportunity to launch Winafar in Canada and to allow local operators to offer their players a truly authentic casino experience but with the convenience of online and mobile play.
“Live casino is becoming increasingly popular in markets around the world, and while traditional live dealer cover table games, Winafar allows operators to offer a live slots experience that captures the magic of playing on a casino floor.
“We believe Winafar will enjoy incredible pick-up among casino operators across Canada, and will be a huge hit with players seeking the most engaging and compelling real casino experience online.”
The launch has been achieved in partnership with Canadian distributor RBY Gaming, allowing casino operators across the country to deliver a ‘unique and compelling’ player experience.
Winafar can be installed on any land-based slot machine and uses a camera and microphone to capture the image of the reels and the sounds of the machine.
The Winafar box is plugged in to the cabinet, allowing players to control the physical slot machine from their computer, smartphone or tablet device.
Slot games are then played via a dedicated website, or can be added to the game lobby of an existing online casino site.
