Endemol UK has recently announced its exclusive brand and software licence agreement with global online bingo licensor Virtue Fusion.

The deal licenses Virtue Fusion to develop a Deal or No Deal bingo game, which will combine elements of the television show and traditional bingo games. The game is scheduled to be rolled out on the Virtue Fusion network at the end of October. Mecca, Paddy Power, bet365 and Sky have already confirmed they will host the game, with more operators to be announced soon.

In addition, Virtue Fusion has non-exclusive rights to produce mini-games, fixed odds games and scratchcard games for Endemol formats Deal or No Deal, Big Brother and Golden Balls.

Three unique progressive networked scratchcards will be available to Virtue Fusion operators from autumn. The games will have the theme Quick Scratch and will be in both minigame and stand-alone format.
