The world’s leading gaming technology company, Playtech, has announced a new licensing agreement with IGT, the global gaming leader.
According to the deal, Playtech can now offer games with features within IGT’s extensive US patent portfolio. IGT has the largest number of slot game feature patents in the United States.
The licensing agreement is a big step in Playtech’s North American after being licensed in New Jersey. Having gone live with the BetMGM gaming network earlier this year, the agreement with IGT is just the beginning of Playtech’s goal to partner with leading gaming companies to increase its distribution capabilities in North America.
The Chief Operating Officer at Playtech, Shimon Akad said, “The licensing agreement with IGT represents yet another big milestone for our presence and growth in North America. Playtech continues to build on the momentum we’ve had over the past few months. We look forward to offering the US more of our market-leading technology and software in what is a rapidly growing market.”
Chief Operating Officer at IGT, Nick Khin, said, “We’re delighted to have reached an agreement providing Playtech with access to the biggest game feature patent portfolio in the country. Working in partnership with Playtech will propel our collective growth and innovation, further validating our significant US portfolio.”
