Zitro has announced a significant investment in Zitro Interactive, the business unit in charge of the digital distribution of Zitro games, which is renamed Zitro Digital.

Johnny Ortiz, Founder of Zitro, justifies the bet on Zitro Digital saying that “the Covid-19 pandemic has acted as a catalyst for technological change, accelerating the adoption of e-commerce by consumers of all demographics, and therefore, also of online gaming. On the other hand, many land-based gaming operators around the world have discovered in online gaming not only a source of income, complementary to their activity, but also a means of maintaining relationships with their clients during the long and hard months that they have been closed. At Zitro we couldn’t stop meeting this new demand that comes from both end consumers and our traditional clients, the land-based casino operators, who need to offer online gaming to generate resources as well as to stay close to their customers. ”

Zitro Digital is going to offer online gaming operators not only the reputed video bingo games that have historically made Zitro great, but it is also going to make Link King, Link Me, 88Link and many more video slot games which are extremely popular and recognized in many casinos, available to them. The favorite games of the customers of the land-based casinos will not only be in the physical casino, but will also be available to the players at any time, accessible through their mobile, tablet or computer.

Sebastián Salat, CEO of Zitro, says that “it has taken us a while to deploy our games, such as Link King, Link Me, or 88 Link at the casinos of the world, but today our games are brands of recognized prestige, true stars, celebrities, in casinos of any geography, with enormous power to drive demand. Starting in January 2021 we will be able to make our famous progressive games, which are synonymous to success, at the disposal of online casino operators who wish to offer their customers the best”.

But Zitro Digital is also going to expand its offer in the social gaming segment, in which, to date, the company had been operating two applications: World of Bingo, exclusively dedicated to video bingo games, and Let’s Win Up, which offers video bingo games and video slots.

Enric Pedró, Director of Social Gaming at Zitro Digital, affirms that “the unstoppable success of Zitro’s progressive games in the world required an exclusive application in which all of them could meet, surrounded by multiple functionalities that would provide fun content and the emotional, not financial, gratification of winning. All the games in the Link King, Link Me, 88 Link, Bashiba range will be gradually added to this new application that will contain the essence of the games that have triumphed in so many casinos on all continents, but presented in a fun and entertaining environment. At Zitro Digital we are tremendously excited about the launch of this new application, which we plan to make during January”.

Bacta commissioned research shows huge support for seaside arcades led by Gen Z

The findings of independent research conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 2,000 UK Nationally representative respondents aged 16+ shows that Generation Z has fallen in love with the seaside arcades so popular with their grandparents. 

The research reveals that 8 in 10 respondents (81 percent) view seaside arcades as being part of British culture and it is young Brits that are banging the drum for arcades, with 90 percent of 25–34-year-olds backing their importance.

Despite overwhelming public support from Britain’s younger generations, seaside arcades continue to face a perfect storm of challenges from rising energy and staffing costs, plus the threat of increased taxation as suggested by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

72 percent say Government should do more to protect them – with 86 percent of those aged 25-34-years calling for urgent action.

The research findings confirm the central role played by seaside arcades with 72 percent of adults saying they would visit an arcade on a trip to the seaside a figure that rises to 91 percent for 24-34-year-olds.

In terms of providing accessible entertainment 55 percent say that arcades offer great value for money, making them the UK’s most affordable family day out. As a result, 84 percent confirmed they have enjoyed arcades with multiple generations of their family.

The importance of contributions to local economies featured highly in the research paper with 7 in 10 stating that arcades play a key role in regenerating seaside towns, a figure that rises to 85 percent of 18-24-year-olds.

Reflecting on the research findings Joseph Cullis, President of UK trade association, Bacta said: “Britain’s seaside arcades are a vital element of our proud tourism industry, a modern cultural icon, and have been a fun family activity for more than a century.

“It’s brilliant but not surprising to see young people are embracing them with all the enthusiasm of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents before them.

“At Bacta, we’re fighting to protect our seaside arcades from the threats of rising costs and from those who want to tax them out of existence. We hope that local councillors, MPs and the Treasury will heed the wants and needs of the British people and protect these vital institutions.”

Elliot Ball, who co-owns and runs Clacton Pier with his brother Billy, said other attractions would be at risk if arcades were taxed even more.

“I’m the fifth generation of my family – on both sides – involved in amusement arcades so this is a labour of love” he stated.

“But the threat from the government to raise gambling tax would put at risk a traditional family day out to the seaside. Trips here have been making memories for generations, and it’s great that younger people are finding the same safe, harmless fun on the pier that has been raising a smile and lighting up eyes for years and years.

“We’ve bounced back from the pandemic and the rise of staycations helps, but many of Britain’s most beloved seaside attractions will be put at high risk if gambling taxes rise.”
