Mexican Gaming Push: Wiztech Group and Dreidel Interactive Form Joint Venture

The global iGaming landscape is witnessing a significant shift in regional influence. Wiztech Group, a leading B2B iGaming platform provider headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, has officially entered into a joint venture with Dreidel Interactive, a specialized Mexican online slot studio. The primary goal of this collaboration is to bring authentic, Mexican-made online games not only to the domestic market but eventually to other regulated markets worldwide. This alliance represents a turning point for the regional developer scene in Latin America, which has often operated in the shadow of European and Asian software giants.

This decision was driven by clear market signals. Since the launch of Dreidel Interactive titles on the licensed Mexican platform winpot.mx in 2026, the results have been remarkable. The young studio's games immediately held their own against much larger, more established suppliers. Once the titles were featured in Winpot’s lobby and promotional sections, they outperformed standard slot metrics and exceeded operator expectations. this immediate success provided the momentum needed to form a new, dedicated entity under the name Dreidel Interactive.

Numbers and facts

The division of labor within the new partnership is clearly defined. Dreidel Interactive provides the creative capital, including its current game designs, mathematical models, artwork, music, and existing online portfolio. Wiztech Group, in turn, contributes the necessary development support, platform integration, and global distribution. An ambitious target has already been set: the venture plans to release 30 new online titles in 2027. These will be made available to licensed operators in Mexico and other regulated jurisdictions, provided the necessary regulatory approvals are in place.

The team at Dreidel consists of experienced game designers, mathematicians, and developers with long-standing expertise in creating content for the Latin American market. Rafael Levy, Chief Growth Officer at Dreidel, has previously highlighted the importance of local know-how. The business was originally initiated by entrepreneurs Isaac Shemaria and Moises Shemaria. Wiztech serves as the technological backbone, handling everything from player account management (PAM) to payment processing for partners like Winpot.

Background

The partnership addresses a significant gap in the market. Historically, many prominent titles in Mexican online casino lobbies originated in Europe or Asia. While these games are high quality, they do not always resonate with the specific cultural nuances or aesthetic preferences of local players. Dreidel Interactive leverages its strong retail brand presence in Mexico to bridge the gap between land-based gaming and the online sector. The games are produced in Mexico and fully localized, giving them an authentic advantage over generic global products.

"We are a proudly Mexican company that’s been designing and producing land-based slots since early 2020. Recently, we’ve expanded our offering into the online space for the first time." - Rafael Levy, Chief Growth Officer at Dreidel Interactive

This strategic focus demonstrates that the industry is increasingly prioritizing hyper-localization. It is no longer enough to simply translate games. Mathematical models and visual styles must meet regional expectations to achieve long-term success. Wiztech Group utilizes its technology platform to scale these regional gems, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards of regulated markets.

Why it matters for German players

For German players, news of this joint venture is primarily an indicator of the increasing professionalization of the global market. While the venture is currently focused on Mexico, the planned expansion into other regulated markets could eventually reach Europe. In Germany, the legal situation is very strict due to the State Treaty on Gambling 2021 (GlüStV 2021). German players can only legally play at casinos listed on the "Whitelist" of the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL). These operators must comply with tough requirements, such as a maximum stake of 1 Euro per spin and a monthly deposit limit of 1,000 Euros, monitored via the central LUGAS system.

Should Dreidel Interactive titles find their way to Germany via Wiztech, they would first have to undergo the GGL's strict certification process. This ensures that the mathematical models are fair and that player protection features, such as the mandatory five-second pause between spins, are correctly implemented. German customers should always avoid providers with MGA or Curacao licenses, as these are considered illegal in Germany and offer no legal protection from the GGL. However, cooperation between global platforms like Wiztech and local studios suggests that the variety of legal games could grow in the future, provided the technical standards of German regulation are met.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

German casinos with a GGL license are constantly searching for fresh content to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. A joint venture promising 30 new games a year is attractive news for platform operators. However, these games must be specifically adapted for the German market. Features like autoplay or progressive jackpots, which might be permitted in Mexico, are banned in German online gaming halls. For operators in Germany, this means they must carefully verify whether their software partners can technically implement German restrictions when integrating such exotic titles. Nevertheless, the cultural diversity of Mexican slots offers a chance to break through the often homogeneous selection of European fruit slots and Egyptian-themed games.
