Free-play internet platform to be supplied for the use of US players.
GameAccount Network's collaborative agreement with land gambling game & equipment developer Aristocrat Technologies in March this year (see previous report) has produced its first fruits - a deal through which GameAccount will provide Aristocrat with a free-play internet gaming platform for use by its US casino clients.
The platform & range of free-to-play slots, table games & skill games, including online poker, will be made available to Aristocrat licensees/operators in the United States & will include online versions of AristocratâEUR™s top land-based slots.
GameAccount Network managing director, Dermot Smurfit said this week: âEURњFree-play online games are an important step in preparing for regulated Internet gaming in the US. Enabled by our compliant & certified internet gaming platform, AristocratâEUR™s land-based casino operators will attract free-to-play games communities in advance of any expected regulation.
âEURњBased on our experiences in Europe, those free play games communities will readily convert to real money gaming in due course,âEURќ he added.
Sam Nickless, AristocratâEUR™s managing director of emerging business & strategy, said the deal represented a natural evolution of his companyâEUR™s existing relationship with GameAccount, giving its American clients access to a safe, secure & legally compliant e-gaming platform that can be customised as required to extend their offering to players interested in the online gaming environment.
Although the Aristocrat deal represents something of an American breakthrough, the GameAccount e-gaming platform is widely used by major European gambling companies, & is compliant with UK Gambling Commission & Alderney Gaming Control Commission software requirements.
Gillian Findlay, general manager group strategy & online gaming for Aristocrat, commented: âEURњAs the online gaming industry matures, players are looking for high quality content with a richer gaming experience. AristocratâEUR™s games have been favourites with players across the globe, & our goal is to bring the worldâEUR™s greatest casino slot games to online players."
