SCOUT GAMING ENTERS MEXICO WITH LOGRAND PARTNERSHIP

Scout Gaming has partnered with Logrand Entertainment Group, giving the casino operator full access to Scout’s Fantasy Sports platform.

Since launching in 2005, Logrand has become a serious force in the Mexican gaming sector, now operating 14 casinos with a total of 6,000 gaming terminals at venues in Cancun, Guadalajara and Monterrey, and employing more than 3,500 staff.

Commenting on the agreement, Scout Gaming CEO Andreas Ternström said:

“We are really pleased with this deal, making us enter into the Mexican market. We see big potential in the region and is proud to be chosen by Logrand which is one of the leading Mexican brands. Their ambition to build the top product offering aligns well with our ambition. The deal also further strengthens Scout Gaming’s position as the global leading B2B provider of Fantasy Sports.”

Entering Mexico is part of a broader strategic plan for Scout Gaming, and because the market is similar in many respects to the US and Latin American regions, the company plans to largely stick to their current offering, with a few new leagues and sports added for good measure.

Strendus, Logrand’s online brand, plans to launch Fantasy Sports in the first half of 2019.

Logrand Entertainment Group’s Chief Operating Online Officer, Lenin Castillo, added:

“The alliance that we made with Scout Gaming Group for establishing our Fantasy Sports offering, strengthens our commitment to provide our clients a quality service and high-level diverse online entertainment platform – we are sure that will see an expanding number of users and that with this partnership will strengthen our leading position in the industry”

Under the agreement, Scout’s long-term revenue will depend on how popular their games are when offered by Logrand, but the firm’s already substantial network will mean large prize pools and should make them attractive to Mexican customers.

Just three weeks ago, AYO.NEWS reported that Scout had signed a similar agreement with Asian tier 1 operator Dafabet (read more here).
