Iraid Rosales, Country Manager at Amusnet Mexico: Strategic Vision for the Mexican Gaming Market

1. Reflecting on the recent GAT Mexico event, what were Amusnet’s expectations for the occasion?

GAT Mexico continued to position itself as one of the most important meeting points for the gaming industry in the region, and for Amusnet, it represented a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships with operators, regulators, and strategic partners.

Our expectation was not only to showcase Amusnet’s growth and tailor-made solutions but also to continue contributing to the conversation around the future of gaming in Mexico, both online and Land-based. Mexico is a market with enormous potential, and events like GAT continue to help create the right environment for collaboration, education, and business development. For us, GAT was also about listening to the market, understanding operators’ evolving needs, and reinforcing our long-term commitment to the region.

2. How is Amusnet Mexico adapting its Land-based strategy to meet the local demand for physical gaming halls and casinos?

Amusnet’s background is primarily in the online gaming sector, where our games have already earned strong recognition among Mexican players. As we expand into the Land-based segment, our focus has been on understanding the local market dynamics and ensuring our products align with operators’ expectations and locals’ preferences.

Mexico presents unique operational and regulatory challenges for Land-based suppliers, particularly when it comes to distribution and market entry. While this has made the process more complex than initially anticipated, we have achieved important milestones this year and are confident that our first Land-based machines will arrive in Mexico by Q3 2026.

For us, this is not only about expanding into a new vertical but about creating a stronger connection between our Online and Land-based offerings and delivering a consistent entertainment experience across both channels.

3. Mexico is different from Colombia, just as Colombia is different from Argentina and other markets in the region. How do you approach such a diverse range of audiences?

One of the most important lessons in Latin America is understanding that there is no “one-size-fits-all” strategy. Every market has its own player behaviour, cultural preferences, regulatory environment, and business dynamics.

At Amusnet, we approach each country individually, working closely with local operators and partners to better understand what resonates with players in each market. In Mexico, for example, players tend to respond very well to strong entertainment-driven experiences, recognisable themes, and high-engagement mechanics.

Localisation is key not only in language, but also in marketing, product selection, promotional strategies, and even the way we build relationships within the industry. We believe that being close to the market and maintaining constant dialogue with our partners is essential for long-term success in Latin America.

4. Which products and services have been most successful with Mexican players?

In Mexico, we have seen very strong performance from some of our most recognisable slot titles, especially games that combine engaging mechanics, high entertainment value, and a strong visual identity. For example, 40 Alebrijes Eternal has connected especially well with Mexican audiences because of its inspiration from the country’s mythical Alebrije creatures, while Caramelo Sortudo has become particularly popular thanks to its vibrant personality and entertaining gameplay. Players already associate Amusnet with stability, attractive RTPs, and a premium gaming experience.

Our online portfolio has gained significant traction with operators in the Mexican market, particularly because our games consistently perform well and drive player engagement and retention. At the same time, there is growing interest in our Land-based cabinets as operators look for fresh content and differentiated entertainment experiences for their casino floors.

Beyond the products themselves, we have also seen success in our collaboration with operators through joint marketing initiatives and campaigns focused on enhancing the overall player experience.

5. What role does the Mexican market play in Amusnet’s Latin American and broader global strategy, especially as the company celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026?

Mexico is a strategic market for Amusnet, not only because of its size and growth potential, but also because of its influence within the Latin American gaming industry. The country has a very dynamic ecosystem that combines strong land-based operations with a rapidly growing online segment, making it an important pillar in our regional expansion plans.

As Amusnet celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026, Mexico represents both an opportunity and a long-term commitment. Over the years, the company has expanded significantly globally, and Latin America has become one of the most exciting regions for its continued growth. 

For Amusnet Mexico, the objective is to continue strengthening our relationships with operators, expanding our presence across both Online and Land-based verticals, and contributing to the sustainable development of the industry through innovation, collaboration, and responsible gaming initiatives.
