Pragmatic Play expands Ontario presence through new content deal with NorthStar Bets

iGaming industry content provider Pragmatic Play has further grown its footprint in North America after partnering with Ontario-based iGaming operator NorthStar Gaming.  

The agreement will see Pragmatic Play supply its complete portfolio of slots content to NorthStar Gaming, which operates in the Canadian province of Ontario. As part of the agreement, NorthStar Bets players will have access to the provider's games including popular titles Sugar Rush, Gates of Olympus, and Big Bass Splash. 

NorthStar Gaming owns and operates NorthStar Bets, a made-in-Ontario casino and sportsbook gaming platform. The NorthStar Bets sportsbook provides real-time news, stats, analysis, and scores directly in the betting environment along with online casino games.  

This partnership marks the latest expansion for what Pragmatic Play labels as "a key emerging territory," with Ontario "quickly establishing itself as a major gaming market" in North America following legalization in April 2022.
