Supplier of online gaming and sports betting software with headquarters in the Isle of Man, Playtech, has released an enhanced bingo platform in Italy. A trio of leading iGaming brands in the country, Sisal, Snai and Hill have already entered into an agreement with the world’s leading gambling software development company, that allows them to deliver specific bingo variants to Italian players.
Thanks to the recently introduced PBAD3 protocol, which enables all local operators to provide online bingo variants, the company represents the first official supplier that has ventured into the expansion of its bingo catalog.
Equally important, by allowing operators to offer bingo variations, the country’s regulated iGaming market now has all the pieces in place; the framework had previously limited flexibility of gaming products, preventing online gaming portals to include offerings of the same range.
According to Angus Nisbet, managing director of Digital Bingo at Playtech, the company remains dedicated to key iGaming markets by rolling out not only new products, but a range of additional features – planned in the upcoming months. Nisbet stated:
“Becoming the first platform in Italy to make the most of the updated protocol is a significant moment in developing our offering in one of our key markets. The speed with which we have been able to expand our platform and products in Italy reflects our commitment to growing and building our offering in new and existing regulated markets.”
At the beginning of March, the group also signed an important partnership with GVC Holdings, allowing it to integrate its top-ranking products onto popular gaming platforms such as Casino Club, BetBoo, bwin, Ladbrokes Coral and more.
Among the updated bingo offerings, players will now be able to see a lot more of 75 ball UK bingos, including variants that are compatible with other platforms on desktop, mobile and tablets.
Last month, the omni-channel producer of highly innovative gaming products has enhanced its Sporting Legends suite by featuring horse racing legend AP McCoy. This 243-ways game also has a fortune wheel and it can trigger up to 10 free rounds. Here is what James Frendo, casino director at Playtech said about it:
“The unique jackpot structure behind the Sporting Legends suite has already made it a major hit with players, and with Playtech Power Play™, AP McCoy has a whole extra dimension to its gameplay. Seasoned players will relish the chance to build their prize pot in the Accumulator rounds, with the Super Spin adding an extra touch of excitement.
With more Playtech Power Play™ games to come later this year, we’re confident its additional gameplay features and enhanced win potential can attract an even wider range of players.”
In February 2019, Playtech released the Wonder Woman slot, based on the comic book version of the heroine.
