Yggdrasil in Italy Y


ggdrasil Gaming has begun the process of certifying its games and platform in compliance with Italian technical requirements, with 11 of the supplier’s popular titles initially set to go live in the market in Q2 2017. Among the games being prepared for operators in Italy are Dark Joker Rizes, Vikings Go Wild and Holmes and the Stolen Stones. Operators will enjoy access to Yggdrasil’s collection of in-game promotional tools, BOOST (“taking gamification to the next level”) as well as the social sharing tool, BRAG. With Italian operators continuing to innovate on the mobile channel, they will also appreciate Yggdrasil’s HTML5 iSENSE 2.0 platform, which allows for seamless integrations and simultaneous releases on mobile and desktop.


The move also underlines Yggdrasil’s commitment to regulated markets, having already received licences in Gibraltar, the United Kingdom, Romania and Malta. Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO at Yggdrasil Gaming, said: “It is about time Yggdrasil crossed the Rubicon as Italy is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing markets in gaming. We already had a number of Tier 1 operators on our books who were active in Italy, so it really was a no-brainer to enter ourselves.”

they are to end their technology partnership, less than one year into the 10-year deal. In May of last year, the

Royal Wins nears skill- based launch in Australia


A


ustralian studio Royal Wins has edged closer to launching a new version of its online casino that it said will introduce skill gambling with real-


money rewards.


Due to go live imminently, the revamped service will give customers the chance to take part in skill-based contests, as well as traditional casino games on ‘Kash Karnival’. The company said that return-to-play venues for the real-money version of the Kash Karnival service will be “wound tighter” than the social version and also require more security measures. Michael Moretti, digital


marketer at Royal Wins, said: “We want to create a safe and fair environment, so we’ve had to make sure to put the right systems in place. There will be 100-point ID checks prior to the first cash out, which we use to confirm the age and identity of the players. Once confirmed, winnings will be deposited straight into their nominated bank account.” The offering will be available on Android, but due to Apple App Store regulations in the country, will not be accessible via iOS devices.
