IGT SCORES ANOTHER NORDIC VICTORY WITH VEIKKAUS RGS & CASINO CONTENT DEAL

International Game Technology (IGT) is set to supply Finnish state-owned gambling operator Veikkaus with its remote game server and casino content. 

The partnership will give Veikkaus, which is a World Lottery Association (WLA) member, access to IGT PlayRGS and its PlayCasino content, via the supplier’s PlayDigital solution, and includes maintenance, monitoring, and support. 

IGT already supplies Veikkaus with its PlayBingo solution, core lottery central system, sports betting, and land-based slot machines. The company also supplies PlayRGS to fellow Nordic WLA members Svenska Spel, Norsk Tipping, and Danske Spil. 

Commenting on the deal casino games VP at Veikkaus, Jan Hagelberg, said:

“This solution ensures that Veikkaus can offer the games players want while responsibly growing our digital program to serve our players with the best customer experience and safest online casino available.”

While IGT PlayDigital SVP, Enrico Drago, added:

“By adding our powerful PlayRGS solution and player-tested PlayCasino digital content to its offering, Veikkaus is re-affirming its status as one of the most technologically advanced operators in the world.”

Veikkaus has also announced it will be introducing mandatory authentication on all its land-based slot machines from 12 January 2021, with players also being given access to more responsible betting tools, including the option to ban themselves from slot gaming completely. 

AYO.NEWS says:

IGT seems to be cleaning up with the Nordic state-owned gambling operators, but things haven’t been easy for the company this year. Just last week, it announced its intention to offload its Italian B2C gaming business for €950M cash – which is largely earmarked for paying down its eye-watering debt, which stood at around €7.42B on 30 September 2020.
