Preview G2E VEGAS 2014 INSPIRED CLOSING IN ON VIRTUAL BREAKTHROUGH
The focus Stateside for Inspired Gaming is its hugely popular Virtual Sports offering with the game of Basketball added to its portfolio for the first time in Las Vegas proving a hit with visitors
The focus Stateside for Inspired Gaming lies not with its VLT range, a product where inspired is a leader in international markets, but in its Virtual Sports offering. Inspired added Basketball to its roster for the first time in Las Vegas and expects this 11th game addition to its games line-up to help break the US market for its Virtual Sports product.
Inspired's Founder and CEO, Luke Alvarez, said: “We’re delighted to say that we will be announcing our first Virtual deal in the US very soon. We’ve signed agreements at this show and are very excited to be entering this new market for Virtual. We’ve launched a range of Virtual products, including 11 sports and four numbers games to land-based, online and mobile operators in 35 countries around the world. We’re the sole provider of Virtual Sports to the UK, Chinese markets and we have over 90 per cent of the market leader in Italy, Europe’s largest Virtual Sports market.
“Our Multi-Game Virtual Football product is live in mainland China with the China Sports Lottery and we’ve just secured our first Virtual Sports customer in Colombia, GENTEC, part of the Betancur Group and in the Philippines, with DFNN.”
Italy remains the undoubted success story with Inspired’s high-frequency Virtual Sports available in 7,000 Italian betting shops and corners, where they are already generating more than $1.5bn of annual turnover. In the last two years, Inspired has signed Virtual Sports deals in Italy with all major Italian operators including SNAI, Lottomatica, Sisal, Eurobet, Cogetech, Intralot, Gamenet and Microgame. The latest deal is with Gamenet, which owns 150 venues all around Italy. Mr. Alvarez predicts that over 8,500 venues will be live with Inspired’s product in 2015 in Italy.
Elsewhere on the product front, Inspired was showing premium omni-channel entertainment with new mobile HTML5 games, White Knight and Goddess of the Amazon, alongside new slots games for its major Video Lottery (VLT) markets.
It was also showcasing new slot games for VLT markets, offering demonstrations of its GSA compliant SBG VLT technology for private or government lottery operators, including its Core CDW - Centrally Determined Wins – system. There was also an opportunity to try its UK market leading Electronic Table Game (ETG)
