Vibra Gaming launches VLT division
Go-to LatAm content and platform developer unveils new terminals division following retail success in several Brazilian states
Vibra Gaming, the go-to LatAm content and platform developer has launched a new retail VLT division dedicated to the rapidly regulating region following its initial success in several Brazilian states.
Vibra VLT provides flexible options enabling our technology to work with any customer request. In combination with our current online casino and sportsbook platform offering, the VLTs complete a true omnichannel solution, GLI-certified and ready for Brazil and other countries’ regulatory requirements. Plans include to launch terminals in Mexico and Peru in the coming months as well.
Our EGM platform used by the terminals has been specifically designed for this region. It can adapt to any existing hardware clients already have in place, featuring in-house localized and third-party aggregated content. This type of flexibility is a big demand in the Latam region and a fundamental aspect of Vibra’s approach to market.
Vibra’s success in offering its own platform and content on terminals in Brazil in the last year accelerated the launch of the new VLT division. Plans are to significantly expand its content portfolio across hundreds more video lottery terminals in Brazil following the great reception of its games on VLTs in the states of Paraíba and Maranhão.
In June 2023, Vibra became one of the first providers to launch lottery-certified content on VLTs and retail terminals with its ‘Scratch-a-Lot’ product becoming an instant fan favorite. Scratch-a-Lot is a GLI-certified game built specifically for instant lottery markets such as Brazilian states, United States Class-2, and other countries around the globe. It allows players to experience the excitement of Vibra’s traditional casino games like Piggy Cash and Condorito, in jurisdictions that only allow lottery products.
Ramiro Atucha, CEO, Vibra Gaming, said: “Today is a really proud day for the team and I. We now have a complete full range of content and technology products with the launch of Vibra VLT.
“We offer our own content (Vibra Gaming), our own omnichannel platform and technology solutions (Vibra Solutions), and now our own VLT platform solutions (Vibra VLT), catering to any need customers may have, all of which is fully flexible and fully localized for the LatAm market.”
“Our first steps in the VLT market have been hugely successful, integrating our platform and our content across terminals in Brazil and the launch of the new division is the next, natural step. We’re very excited for the future.”

OpenBet, a leading global provider of betting technology, content, and services, has secured a major long-term agreement to launch the new sports betting and gaming brand for Todos Querem Jogar (TQJ), part of Grupo Silvio Santos (GSS), one of the largest Brazilian conglomerates in media (SBT), retail (Jequiti), tourism (Hotel Jequitimar), real estate (SISAN) and redeemable bonds (Liderança Capitalização). OpenBet has been entrusted to power TQJ’s betting and gaming platform, delivering premium entertainment to Brazilian consumers who value GSS’s diverse range of brands.
For over 65 years, GSS has been at the heart of delivering world class entertainment in SBT, including iconic brands and game shows such as Show do Milhão, Gol Show and Passa ou Repassa, and iconic products such as Baú da Felicidade and Tele Sena, two of the most popular capitalization and goods and services consortium products in Brazil. GSS’s shows reach more than 113 million Brazilians every month across more than 100 broadcasters and bring in more than 29 million viewers per day.
TQJ is highly committed to delivering safe, responsible betting and gaming experiences to Brazilians with the aim to be the number one leader for player protection. OpenBet’s strong global reputation, expertise in complex regulatory markets, and focus on responsible gaming and compliance were key defining factors in TQJ choosing the company’s fully compliant solutions.
OpenBet’s comprehensive betting ecosystem will drive TQJ’s operations with its high-performing betting engine to handle significant traffic volumes and zero downtime during major sporting events. Additionally, OpenBet is also enabling TQJ to deliver a comprehensive iGaming experience through its player account management (PAM) platform, providing a unified platform for managing promotions across both sports and casino verticals.
The sportsbook is strengthened with the immersive BetBuilder experience, enabling players to create personalized bets and tailor their betting experience. OpenBet’s Managed Trading Services (MTS) will deliver secure and seamless operations through its 24/7 risk management and expert guidance.
World class responsible gaming and anti-money laundering (AML) technology, powered by Neccton, will be at the heart of TQJ’s new offering to ensure it maintains the highest standards of player protection. OpenBet Locator, an advanced geolocation solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), will allow the operator to be fully compliant with Brazil’s strict regulatory requirements.

Jordan Levin, CEO of OpenBet, said: “Grupo Silvio Santos is an iconic group in Brazil’s entertainment sector, and we are truly honored to have been chosen to power its sports betting and gaming brand. Considering the esteemed heritage of both OpenBet and GSS, together we are in a solid position to deliver an engaging and responsible betting experience that will make waves across Brazil’s regulated market.
