Finding Ways into US Market
The savvy online casinos and internet gaming companies are finding unique way to
completely and totally legitimately enter the US gambling market. is a huge name
in the European internet gambling industry but also has very unique lottery
products that have apparently won over the Louisiana gaming officials. Although
the United States Department of Justice is very particular about the foreign
online casinos that attempt to illegally operate gaming sites, the Louisiana
deal concerns the completely legal lottery system. According to information just
released, Intralot beat out the GTECH gaming company for the Louisiana Lottery
licensing deal.
Intralot is lottery systems supplier based out of Greece that has a long history
in the land and online caisno gambling industries and has a solid reputation
throughout Europe. In recent months, Intralot has really been on the make,
looking to aggressively move into new markets and find a new base of gamblers.
Most recently the company made a bid for a French gaming license that is still
up in the air. The Louisiana lottery deal though is a major victory for the
company. There are very few foreign land and online casino gambling companies
that are able to legally access the lucrative US market, and Intralot has just
scored a major contract that will undoubtedly prove quite lucrative.
GTECH had a pretty good chance of winning the contract for the Louisiana lottery
because the company already runs the Minnesota state lottery. Intralot though
also has several lottery licenses in the US market and this one serves to just
continue expanding the company’s already huge base of land and online lottery
gamblers. |
