The three-year deal sees Kiron’s virtual racing products incorporated into the Sportech Racing and Digital Quantum System wagering platform to complement the live on-course action.

An initial launch will take place in Peru during the first quarter of 2015, at the Jockey Club Peru’s racetrack and a network of 80 plus off-track betting agencies. Further distribution to additional Sportech customers in Central and South America will follow.

Steven Spartinos, co-CEO of Kiron Interactive, said: “Sportech is the market leader in offering tote systems to racetracks in the region and is best-qualified to maximise the value of virtual racing to their clients.

“Based on initial indications, we’re expecting a big take-up by race-goers and look forward to entertaining them with our popular products.”
