Leading gaming and sports betting partner GAMING1 has released the first ever worldwide online iteration of the classic dice game, Banca Francesa.

In development for more than a year, the engaging SRIJ-licenced title is already among the best-performing games in the Portuguese market following its exclusive launch with ESCONLINE.PT in April 2020.

The time-honoured Iberian dice game sees three participants (the ‘taxman’, the ‘player’ and a dealer traditionally referred to as the ‘horn’) gather round a semi-circular table to bet on three possible outcomes.

GAMING1’s pioneering online version features an engrossing 3D background, smooth gameplay and an authentic soundtrack to provide an original casino experience while land-based outlets remain shut.

In addition to its celebrated in-house gaming suite, the company currently operates more than 20 online gaming brands with land-based partner operators in Spain, Portugal, France, Serbia, Peru and Colombia.

Sylvain Boniver, GAMING1’s COO and Co-Founder, said: “Players searching for an authentic casino experience need look no further because Banca Francesa, our latest hit game created exclusively for ESCONLINE.PT, delivers exactly that with an innovative twist.

“The immersive title makes for a strong addition to our premium quality gaming catalogue as we continue to expand into new regulated markets across the globe.”

Rui Magalhães, Estoril Sol Digital’s CEO added: “We’ve worked in partnership with GAMING1 for a number of years now and Banca Francesa has performed incredibly strongly since launching exclusively on ESCONLINE.PT last month.

“It’s our top performing game and players clearly love it, so we’re thrilled it has proven to be such a big hit, especially as it’s the world’s first online version of Portugal’s most loved dice game. Exclusive content is a key part of our strategy and games like Banca Francesa are the reason why.”
