Inspired Gaming Group plc, the leading player worldwide in the Open Server-Based Gaming (Open SBGTM) market, today announces a strategic partnership with Australia-based NextGen Gaming, the world's leading independent supplier of innovative games to the gambling industry. The partnership will allow Inspired to roll out NextGen's industry leading slot product across its Asian casino estate as well as UK LBOs. For the first time, Asian casinos will be able to offer etable gaming and slots on the same terminal, providing their customers with more variety and the casinos with greater flexibility on the floor lay out.
Inspired will introduce NextGen's first game onto its wide range of electronic table gaming terminals across its entire Asian casino estate, which encompasses 15 locations in the region. Inspired will also be rolling out the first of many NextGen slot products to over 10,000 gaming machines across its UK LBO estate.
Norman Crowley, co-CEO of Inspired, commented: "Partnering with NextGen Gaming allows us to introduce more competition and variety into the UK LBO market. More importantly, it also allows us to continue to revolutionise the Asian casino market by introducing slots onto gaming machines which, to date, have only offered table games."
Matt Davey, CEO of NextGen, added: "As a fellow innovator in the market, partnering with Inspired is a natural step for NextGen. Their established presence in the UK and aggressive expansion plans for the Asian market mean that we can get our industry leading slot product into an even wider audience."
