Zitro and Tecnalis: Safe values

Published

on

 

The long relationship between both companies promotes gambling in Latin America

Zitro and Tecnalis have been maintaining one of the longest and most fruitful collaborations in the gaming industry. Zitro, the renowned gaming provider, has been a member of Alira, Tecnalis’ online casino management, platform for years and together they have managed to grow significantly in the Spanish-speaking market, because when there is mutual trust, projects inevitably arise.

Zitro’s leadership in the land-based casinos has been a reality for many years. After years of consolidation, the European provider is focused on two objectives: the digitalization of its offer and its globalization strategy in which Latin America is of paramount importance, and where they hope to replicate the success achieved in the land-based market. Zitro has been adapting its famous video bingo and video slot games for the online world, so that all users can enjoy them from any device.

On the other hand, Tecnalis has integrated the entire catalog of Zitro games in Alira, thus ensuring that its offer reaches all users of its casinos. Already established in Spain, Tecnalis is focusing on America, where Zitro’s portfolio is very well received by operators and players alike.

The history of both companies goes back several years. Zitro was one of the first providers integrated into Alira and Tecnalis increased the provider’s presence in the leading casinos in Spain. The seamless collaboration between the technical teams of the companies allows the operators – and therefore, the players – to enjoy the best Zitro games in a safe, reliable and fast environment like the one guaranteed by the Alira platform.

It is a professional relationship in which mutual interests prevail over individual ones. Both companies know that together they will achieve their goals faster and that the collaboration generates great confidence in the industry. A confidence that they want all players in Latin America, and the world, to enjoy.

In regards to the relationship with Zitro, Alejandro Serrano Zaera, COO of Tecnalis has assured that “when you have a partner like Zitro, everything is simpler. The relationship with its team has always been spectacular and we are convinced that, now that we both agree on the importance of Latin America, we will be able to consolidate our position as the leading platform in that market with the best offer from a leading supplier. We have common interests in important markets such as Mexico, Spain, Brazil or Argentina, and we know that together we are in a position to offer the best possible product”.

Sebastián Salat, CEO of Zitro has stated that “the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for technological change and, with it, for digital commerce and gaming. At Zitro, we are investing more than ever in the development of our digital division, sensitive to the cultural change that was already taking place but that the pandemic has accelerated. This is why it is so important to work with online platforms and operators that have the same determination, commitment and objectives that we have. Among the first is, without a doubt, Tecnalis, with whom all the projects we have undertaken together have been counted as successes”.

AGCO Fines Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto $350,000 for Serious Regulatory Violations Linked to Impromptu After-Party on Gaming Floor

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has issued monetary penalties totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto for multiple violations of provincial gaming standards. The penalties follow an impromptu after-party that was permitted to take place in the pre-dawn hours directly on the casino’s gaming floor.

On September 27, 2024, an electronic dance music event attended by thousands of people was hosted in the theatre adjacent to the casino at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. The event was marked by widespread intoxication, disorderly behavior, and numerous criminal and medical incidents – both inside and outside the venue – including alleged assaults, drug overdoses, and acts of public indecency. Although paid duty officers were present, additional police and emergency services were required to manage the situation.

In the midst of this high-risk environment, casino management approved an unscheduled request by the performing artist to host an after-party on the active gaming floor. The artist and more than 400 guests were permitted onto the gaming floor where the artist was allowed to perform amidst operational table games and gaming machines – without any prior risk assessment or planning.

As a result, security personnel were unable to effectively control the casino floor, including witness reports that an attendee was seen climbing onto slot machines. Failure to maintain appropriate control compromises the security, safety, and integrity of the casino floor. Following the conclusion of the event, the operator failed to promptly report these incidents to the AGCO as required.

Based on the findings of its review, the AGCO’s Registrar has issued an Order of Monetary Penalty (OMP) totaling $350,000 against Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto. These penalties address critical failures in their operations, incident reporting, employee training, and the management of disturbances.

A gaming operator served with an OMP has 15 days to appeal the Registrar’s decision to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), an adjudicative tribunal that is part of Tribunals Ontario and independent of the AGCO.

“Casino operators have a fundamental duty to control their gaming environment. Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto’s lapses in this incident compromised the safety of patrons and the security and integrity of the gaming floor,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Chief Executive Officer and Registrar of AGCO, said.
