G3 NAMED AS AGEM OFFICIAL TITLE
AGEM has appointed Gaming Publishing and G3 as its Official European Media Partner and establishes close cooperation
US & UK - Corporate
The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) announced today that its Board of Directors has approved the selection of Gaming Publishing Group, publishers of G3 maga- zine, as AGEM’s “Official European Media Partner.”
As the official European publication of AGEM, G3 magazine will support the trade association’s members in its marketing efforts and trade event participation, and play a vital role in publicizing AGEM’s activities focused on political action, reg- ulatory influence, responsible gaming initiatives, trade show partnerships and educational alliances. Gaming Publishing Group will also continue to support AGEM via its various media platforms, including the G3 Newswire web portal and mobile applications.
“The AGEM Marketing Committee and its member- ship as a whole have very high regard for G3 Editors Lewis Pek and Phil Martin and Gaming Publishing Director John Slattery,” AGEM Executive Director Marcus Prater said.
“They have proven over the years to be exceptional chroniclers of the global gaming industry and AGEM is very pleased to partner with G3 going
forward. Our global membership base of 145 com- panies will benefit greatly from this alliance.”
Capping a year that has seen the continued expansion of the G3 team, the confirmation of G3 as World Partner to Clarion Gaming and the huge- ly successful launch of the G3Newswire dedicated App, Gaming Publishing is excited to announce becoming the “Official European Media Partner” of AGEM.
“It’s been an amazing year for Gaming Publishing and G3,” states Gaming Publishing Director, John Slattery. “We have expanded our sales team with the appointment of an experienced gaming indus- try sales professional, Alison Dronfield; achieved a first for both ourselves and Clarion Gaming with the appointment of Gaming Publishing as a pivotal World Gaming Partner; invested once more in both content and technology with the launch of the G3Newswire App, which has been installed across 3,000-plus devices worldwide since July; and to crown all the hard work the team has invested in our range of digital and traditional media, G3 has become the official European media partner to the gaming industry’s largest and most influential trade body, AGEM.”

The DGA have described the new Programme, which becomes mandatory for any certification activities carried out from 1st January 2015, as “better suited for the execution of supervision” and also as creating “a better base for the future development of the Programme”.
Gala Coral extends Inspired’s Virtual license to include mobile
UK Inspired Gaming has announced that Gala Coral has extended its Virtual Sports license to also include mobile.
Inspired currently provides Coral with seven concurrent channels of Virtual Sports for both retail and online, equating to over 3,000 events a day. These will all now be available on Coral Mobile. The channels are: horse racing, greyhounds, football, tennis, motorsports, speedway and cycling.
Steve Rogers, SVP for Virtual Sports and Mobile at Inspired
Gaming Group, said: “We are thrilled to be fulfilling the omni- channel model with Coral. Inspired’s Virtual Sports perfectly lends itself to mobile, enabling players to make simple and quick bets any time, anywhere.
“Inspired has led the industry charge for Virtual Sports on mobile, which is a huge area of growth for operators. We are committed to lead, advise and maximise the mobile opportunity – some of our customers are already reporting that their virtu- al income on mobile is over-tak- ing their virtual income on desk- top,” stated Mr. Rogers.
Keith O’Loughlin, Coral Sportsbook Director, commented: “Our mobile penetration is ahead of the competition, in part because of our rich mix of con- tent and simple functionality. Our deal with Inspired means that we will have the best sports chan- nels available to our customers, in shop, online and now on their mobiles, allowing them to move seamlessly from one platform to the next – all with our single wal- let.”
Last month, Inspired announced that it had signed a deal with Gala Coral Group for the supply of multichannel mobile content, via its Remote Gaming Server (RGS), Virgo. Inspired was one of the first suppliers in the industry to launch new games simultaneous- ly on VLT, online and mobile in the UK.
