Its new social casino will give players access to jackpots, games and sweepstakes.

North American online entertainment company Blazesoft has released its new social casino, ZulaCasino.com. The company’s latest venture will offer players access to casino-style slot titles, fish, cash games, as well as jackpots, tournaments and a loyalty program.

Zula Casino is the company’s second social casino brand. Blazesoft’s FortuneCoins.com debuted in both Canada and the US nearly two years ago, and has grown to three million registered players since its launch.

SVP of Strategic Initiatives Yuliy German noted that Zula Casino’s release represents a milestone for the company.

German said, "Zula Casino's launch marks a significant milestone in Blazesoft's journey to redefine the gaming experience.

“In keeping with our unwavering commitment to provide unparalleled entertainment, we're excited to offer players a truly engaging and enjoyable platform that uniquely blends social gaming with sweepstakes elements."

In addition to its latest social casino launch, Blazesoft announced plans to invest $10m in its future sports brand Sportszino.com. The company said the new brand “will blend the worlds of social sports and casino-style gaming, offering a diverse range of sports and leagues, virtual sports, esports, hundreds of slots, bingo, and other game categories, daily tournaments, contests and promotions.”

Blazesoft anticipates launching Sportszino toward the end of the year. Once live, players can expect to see an assortment of singles, parlay and same game pick prediction types. Sportzino will feature many leagues and sports that include the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and Formula 1, as well as soccer and tennis.

Company CEO Mickey Blayvas commented, "Blazesoft continues to be a leader in the online entertainment arena in North America; and Fortune Coins, Zula Casino, and Sportzino each reflect our ultimate ambition to being the number one player in the market.

“With our introduction to the sports market in 2024, we anticipate Blazesoft's growth trajectory will skyrocket as we plan for substantial market expansion."
