IGT has signed an agreement to supply interactive online casino games to Loto-Québec’s online gaming site Espace Jeux.
The games will launch this year on the site for players in Quebec, Canada. During the first phase of this agreement, IGT will provide access to four of its top-performing titles: Cleopatra, Wheel of Fortune – Hollywood Edition, Monopoly with Pass Go Bonus and Clue. These games will be hosted on the Loto-Quebec servers in Montreal. “The addition of Loto-Quebec as an interactive business-to-business partner is further proof of our commitment to the North American online and mobile market,” said Robert Melendres, IGT executive vice president, emerging businesses. “Convergence is crucial to the future of North American casino gaming and IGT is in the best position to provide the many options operators such as Loto-Quebec are looking for as they expand their operations,” he added.
The second phase will integrate the IGT Casino remote game server (rgs), which will allow for another 16 of its online games, developed in Canadian French, to be available on the Espace Jeux site. Upon completion of this integration, it will also have access to the full company game library of titles including Da Vinci Diamonds, Siberian Storm and Fire Opals. The casino rgs games will be served from a new IGT data centre in Kamloops, British Columbia.
Further rgs releases will see more than 30 casino-style games available by the end of 2012, including several video poker titles. All games supplied will be available in English and Canadian French.
