Playtech Launches iPoker Network in Czech Republic with Fortuna

Playtech, a leader in the gaming software industry, has recently announced a strategic expansion of its iPoker network into the Czech Republic, in collaboration with Fortuna Entertainment Group. This marks the first foray of Playtech's iPoker network into the Czech market, signifying a substantial development for both Playtech and Fortuna.

This initiative introduces a poker platform to the Fortuna Entertainment Group for the first time, providing Czech players access to a wide variety of poker games. The integration into Playtech’s iPoker network means that Fortuna’s customers will benefit from joining a global liquidity pool, which features players from around the world, ensuring a rich, high-quality gaming experience coupled with a state-of-the-art poker product.

A New Era for Czech Poker

The Czech Republic is well-regarded as a significant center for live poker tournaments in Europe, hosting major events throughout the year in cities like Prague and Rozvadov. Playtech’s partnership with Fortuna is designed to leverage this existing poker culture by offering an unparalleled online poker experience tailored to the Czech audience.

Marat Koss, the Vice President of Interactive Gaming at Playtech, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to be partnering with Fortuna to expand our iPoker network into the Czech market. With Playtech's commitment to continuous innovation and high-quality player experience, and Fortuna’s robust growth trajectory in Central and Eastern Europe, we are poised to offer a modern and seamless user experience.”

Building on a Strong Partnership

Myke Foster, Group Head of Gaming & Commercial Strategy at Fortuna Entertainment Group, commented on the integration, “Poker has a significant presence in the Czech market with an established player base, and we are impressed by the quality of Playtech’s poker product. We see tremendous potential in this product and are confident it will deliver an exceptional and modern user experience to our customers.”

The collaboration between Playtech and Fortuna is not new, but the introduction of the iPoker network is a fresh milestone in their longstanding relationship. Foster added, “We have had a very successful partnership with Playtech over the years and we look forward to this partnership continuing to grow from strength to strength.”

This expansion into the Czech Republic is expected to further enhance the growth of Playtech’s iPoker network, which has already seen considerable expansion in recent years. By combining Playtech's advanced gaming technology with Fortuna’s strong market presence, this partnership is set to redefine the online poker landscape in the Czech Republic.
