British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is set to benefit from a new suite of games following the slot game developer Live5 securing the necessary approvals to launch its content in British Columbia.

The certification, awarded by the British Columbia Gaming Enforcement and Policy Branch (GEPB), allows the developer to integrate its titles, in association with Scientific Games, with the BCLC and its PlayNow online betting brand.  

Lloyd Butler, CEO of Live5, noted: “We are thrilled to have received the necessary approvals to launch our popular online slot content with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and to players on its PlayNow site.

“Our games have been designed to deliver high levels of player engagement and entertainment via thrilling bonus features that offer plenty of big win potential. It has proved to be a recipe for success in countless markets and we believe PlayNow players will enjoy the fun experience our content offers.

“We believe the Canadian market has significant untapped potential and by applying for and receiving certifications such as this with the GEPB we are positioning Live5 for a long and successful future in the market with our operator partners.”

Due to the approval, BCLC and PlayNow customers will be able to access various titles from the developer’s catalogue of slots including, Sheba, Orb of Osiris, Win In Rome and Minotaur.

The move into British Columbia sees the firm continue its expansion drive into new markets around the world, including Canada where it already holds a licence with Loto Quebec.
