Playtech has announced a poker agreement with Sisal, a leading Italian land-based and online gaming company.

Sisal is the third Italian licensee on Playtech’s Italian poker network after Snai and Gala Coral’s Eurobet Italia. Under the terms of the agreement, Playtech will provide Sisal with its entire portfolio of market leading poker games in tournament form. At present, the software is downloadable in a "play for fun" mode, which provides players with the opportunity to improve their strategies and hone their skills for free. A "play for real money’’ mode is intended for launch later this year.  

Both parties are wholly committed to meeting all the Italian regulatory standards. The product has been designed to appeal to the tastes of Italian players and will meet all local market requirements, including suitable language and currency. The product has been fully integrated with Sisal’s systems in order to ensure a seamless gaming experience for the player.
