Playtech Mobile Launches 9 Casino Games With Paddy Power
LONDON, June 26, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Playtech, the international designer, developer and licensor of software for the
online, mobile, TV and land-based gaming industry, has launched Casino games on mobile for
Paddy Power, one of its top licensees. The mobile offering includes roulette, blackjack,
and a variety of slots for a total of 9 games, marking the first major collaboration
between Playtech and its newly acquired subsidiary Mobenga, the leading mobile sportsbook.
As the foremost supplier of mobile betting and gaming, Playtech is unique in its
complete cross-platform solution. Through Playtech's exceptional mobile betting channels
and cross-product opportunities, a wide range of choices has become available to players,
eliminating the need for different mobile applications. Another implication of this
development is that those who download the mobile application will automatically have
access to Playtech's complete suite of products, regardless of which channel was
originally chosen. Even more importantly for operators is that Playtech provides a special
functionality allowing cross-selling.
Daniel Orkan, Head of Mobile, said, "The launch is a milestone, not only in terms of
merging Playtech and Mobenga's expertise, but also for our operators who can now access
new streams of revenue through our ever expanding cross-platform solution. We expect this
venture with Paddy Power to be a great mutual success, setting the stage for future
developments with Playtech's mobile platform."
