Isle of Man gaming software giant Microgaming is tapping into the Spanish market following news that the regulated market has opened up there for business.
Big name gambling firm bet365 has signed a deal with Prima Networks for the delivery of Microgaming online slot games in the regulated Spanish market.
The operator is taking 60 desktop and 24 HTML5 mobile games live in Spain. Microgaming classics such as Thunderstruck II, Avalon and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider are now available to players in Spain.
Christian Bogstrand from bet365, said: ‘We are proud to have gone live with an extensive selection of games on the day the Spanish regulated market opened for online slots. Signing with Prima Networks, powered by Microgaming, means we have access to some of the best games in the marketplace. We’re excited that our Spanish players can now enjoy these games.’
After successfully receiving a singular license for online slots from the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling on June 2, Prima Networks will be providing Microgaming content in total to 12 operators in Spain.
Loraine Schoevers, director of Prima Networks, said: ‘We’ve been preparing for the launch of Microgaming slots in Spain for some time now.
‘Signing 12 operators, including a big-name brand like bet365, shows that our forward planning and hard work has truly paid off.
‘We’re delighted bet365 has chosen Microgaming content, and their decision to choose us as the supplier of mobile content highlights that we are ahead of the pack in mobile gaming.’
l Meanwhile, Quickfire, powered by Microgaming, is providing gaming content to Casino Saga, an operator that specialises in casino gamification. (Gamification is the process of taking elements of game playing, such as role-playing, leader boards and levels, and incorporating these elements into areas of life which are not primarily game-related).
Although a relatively new online casino, Casino Saga (casinosaga.com) has established itself quickly on the online gaming scene.
Created by a group of Scandinavian game enthusiasts, the operator prides itself on making use of storytelling and gamification features to create an engaging player experience.
Casino Saga has entered into an agreement for Microgaming’s Quickfire platform, to gain access to its award-winning collection of casino games.
Now live, the games will assist Casino Saga’s plan to spread its operations across wider Europe and further afield.
Georg Westin, founder of Casino Saga, said: ‘The decision to integrate with Quickfire was a simple one. Firstly, we wanted to be able to offer our players Microgaming content, some of the best casino slots in the market.
‘What’s more, the Quickfire platform hosts an established list of development partners which we can now tap in to.
‘We had high expectations of the Quickfire platform; now live, it hasn’t disappointed.’
Neill Whyte, head of product channels at Microgaming said: ‘We are proud to have signed Casino Saga, a forward-thinking operator, which focuses heavily on the player journey.
‘Our content will be a perfect match for their online casino.
‘Our games are designed with players’ front of mind, to keep them engaged and on the edge of their seats.
‘In addition, the operators’ focus on gamification will be supported by our game management modules.’
