Wanting to diversify its online games selection, Hellenic Gaming Commission (HGC) has recently awarded numerous licenses to software developers. The newest companies approved to offer their immersive products to Greek players include the likes of Hacksaw Gaming and ORYX Gaming.
Though primarily recognized for its action-packed scratch cards, Hacksaw has decided to venture into slot production as well, showing a high level of skills and capability in delivering multiple game genres. Widely known as one of the leading providers of Omnichannel Turnkey solutions, aggregated content, games, sportsbook, and lottery, ORYX has so far teamed up with 400+ operators.
With the Commission’s approval, Hacksaw Gaming will launch a selection of top-performing games into the newly regulated market. Greek players will get a chance to explore action-packed titles such as Chaos Crew, Hop’n’Pop, Stack ‘Em, and the most recent release - Xpander.
Marcus Cordes, the company’s COO commented:
“The first half of 2021 has shown a huge increase in demand for our content, and we are honored to have been awarded a license by the Hellenic Gaming Commission which will allow us to offer our hit titles to operators in the newly regulated Greek market. We have a number of clients on standby and are looking forward to entering this market with a bang.”
Oryx Gaming, a Bragg Gaming Group has also been granted a license to supply its exclusive content via its proprietary remote games server to operators in Greece.
According to Chris Looney, Chief Commercial Officer at Bragg:
“Our technology is flexible, and it gives us the agility to adapt quickly to new market regulations, and we look forward to launching in many more new markets over the coming quarters with our in-house developed content, our player engagement tools, and exclusive third-party content.”
With the A1 license, ORYX is greenlighted to cooperate with all local licensed venues such as OPAP, Stoiximan, Betsson, and NetBet. In the upcoming months, more online casino brands are expected to open their doors in the market via the Company’s ORYX Hub distribution.
