Lottomatica Group and IGT are expanding their relationship into the Italian i-gaming market.
The new deal builds on the companies' existing partnership which sees IGT providing game content and machines to the Italian VLT (Comma 6b) gaming markets.
The agreement will offer players the opportunity to play their favourite online and mobile games on VLTs across the country.
Robert Melendres, IGT executive vice president of emerging businesses, said the combination of Lottomatica and IGT in the Italian market is “exceedingly exciting.”
“When you add the existing land-based VLT agreement with Lottomatica, we are delivering true game convergence to the player, with IGT’s top-performing casino content in their homes and on their mobile devices,” said Melendres.
Guglielmo Angelozzi, senior vice president of gaming machines and online at Lottomatica, said: “In addition to IGT providing game content for VLTs in Italy, Lottomatica will also be able to distribute IGT's leading i-gaming products in an integrated manner through diverse gaming channels, such as smartphones and tablets.
“We will provide Italian i-gaming players with exciting new game content while facilitating responsible play, which has always been, and is, an integral part of Lottomatica’s daily operations,” added Angelozzi.
