Pragmatic Play debuts crash game Spaceman in South Africa through new deal with 10bet

iGaming content provider Pragmatic Play has debuted its popular crash game Spaceman in South Africa with sports betting and games operator 10bet. The deal sees the operator become the launchpad for Spaceman to be played in the country for the very first time.

"In Spaceman, fortune favors the brave – and the fast! Launching himself into space alongside a multiplier that grows in tandem with his ascent, the spaceman is destined to crash in every game. The question is when," the company describes the game's theme and background.

Aiming to cash out before he crashes out, players can make quick decisions before the spaceman’s journey randomly ends to collect whatever multiplier was on display at the time, or they can hold out for wins up to 5,000x their bet.

"With captivating graphics, engaging mechanics, and fast, intuitive gameplay, Spaceman is a unique offering in the South African iGaming market," says Pragmatic Play. The game also includes active social features, such as leaderboards and a chat function, to increase player engagement.

The agreement with 10bet sees Pragmatic Play strengthen its foothold in key regulated markets in Africa, following similar expansions in Europe and LATAM.
