Calgary, Canada-based online gambling software provider Chartwell Technology has signed an agreement with Novomatic subsidiary Astra Games Limited which will make many of Europe’s most popular land-gambling games available in the online environment.
Under the terms of the agreement, Chartwell will offer online the complete catalogue of Novomatic games from AGL.
The two-year deal will significantly strengthen both companies’ positions in the marketplace, a company spokesman said.
“AGL will gain a whole new demographic of players from Chartwell’s broad list of clients, and Chartwell will have immediate access to 19 proven slot games including popular European game titles such as Dolphin’s Pearl, and Book of Ra,” he said. “Each title is a proven success in land-based gaming outlets throughout regulated gaming jurisdictions. The 19 Novomatic titles will include a broad feature set designed to appeal to players throughout Europe. The balance of Novomatic’s extensive library of games will follow.”
Novomatic operates under various regulatory regimes and participates in over 800 casino, electronic casino, and sports-betting outlets.
Astra Games md Zane Mersich noted: “We are delighted to have concluded this agreement with Chartwell and see the combination of their undoubted experience as an operator of the highest calibre as ideally complementing Novomatic’s proven reputation for game excellence and progressive innovation. Bringing the game appeal of internationally renowned Novomatic products such as Dolphin’s Pearl and Book of Ra to Chartwell’s already impressive game portfolio is a recipe for success on which both our companies can and will build on in the coming months.”
“Working with Novomatic provides an exciting opportunity for both companies”, said David Acorn, chief operating officer at Chartwell. “Providing our licenseeswith immediate access to a large offering of proven gaming content will provide a real benefit to their players.
“The integration of AGL’s 19 slot games with Chartwell’s current catalogue of over 75 proprietary table, card and slot games will be done through the Chartwell Games Platform, a major addition to Chartwell’s full service offering which allows for the integration of games from third-party manufacturers like AGL in a quick and seamless fashion.”
