Skill and casino games software developer, GameAccount Network, announced that it is making its proprietary Internet Gaming System (IGS) available to third party content developers ahead of the Italian Government’s decree to regulate cash play casino and slots in 2011, a market that analysts estimated at up to Euro 20 billion annually.
GameAccount Network supplies Italian operators SNAI, Lottomatica, Sisal, Intralot Italia, Eurobet Italia and Cogetech and recently launched a suite of ‘for-free’ casino games specifically optimised for the Italian market with SNAI and another major licensee is expected at the end of this year.
These preparatory steps are towards the launch of real money Casino Games and the company has announced an open door policy to partners with best-of-breed gaming content, ensuring compelling choices for its Italian licensee’s. Integration with some European third party content platforms and the selection of localised casino games is now underway, with the first partnerships set to be announced in early 2011.
The company’s fully integrated software solution is compatible with the stringent requirements of the Italian and Alderney Regulators.
Dermot Smurfit, Managing Director, GameAccount Network said “By developing a competent API (Application Protocol Interface) for both third party integrations and the localised rollout of casino games, GameAccount Network is ready and waiting to bring regulated Italian gaming operators the best platform and gaming content available today. We’ve already completed our first bingo product platform integration and in contrast to other platform providers, we are opening our doors to developers of other exciting casino content.”
