PokerStars Casino integrates IGT slots
Amaya-owned brand continues casino growth strategy of adding tier one providers
PokerStars has signed a deal to integrate IGT slots content into its online casino via the provider’s remote game server (RGS).
PokerStars Casino customers will gain access to more than 100 IGT games, including well known slot titles like Cleopatra, Golden Goddess, and Wheel of Fortune.
“Expanding our content library to include industry-leading games from IGT’s RGS is a testament to PokerStars’ ongoing commitment to offering our players the most compelling online gaming experiences,” said Bo Wänghammar, director of PokerStars casino operations.
“IGT’s decades of experience in content creation and deployment give PokerStars confidence that the added slot content will inspire even more winning moments for our players.”
PokerStars said earlier this year that adding tier one providers to its casino offering was one of its top priorities for 2017.
At least one more major contract is expected to be announced in H1, before the company turns its focus to a new VIP programme and loyalty scheme in H2.
“The RGS contains a vast library of new and proven slot games and features that ignite player excitement and engagement in markets around the world,” said Gianluca Ballocci, IGT VP of commercial interactive sales and B2C operations.
“PokerStars Casino can entertain its player base with the most robust and time-tested slot content library in the industry.”
Amaya’s online casino QAUs grew 47% to 648,000 in Q4 2016, which Amaya described as “one of the largest casino player bases among its competitors”.
