Powerful Licensing Deal
The online casino software development powerhouse Playtech has announced a very
advantageous deal with Paramount Pictures. Branding has fast become one of the
most lucrative areas of the software development industry – all of the major
development companies have now begun to compete for exclusive rights to top
branded content. Playtech has really risen in the ranks over the past couple of
years as the company has scored some very solid exclusive licensing deals – the
latest deal with Paramount Pictures means that Playtech powered online casinos
will begin to see games based off of Paramount’s two major blockbuster movie
brands: The Untouchables and Gladiator.
Both of these movies were huge hits in the global market and research from
within the online casino gambling industry indicates that branded games are
often far more popular than some of their innovative yet unbranded counterparts.
And beyond just the preference of the gamblers themselves, the online casinos
are now all vying for the ability to provide top-end branded gaming content on
their sites. Even gambling sites that operate on minor gambling platforms are
now beginning to go to the larger operators for a small selection of some of the
most popular gaming titles.
Top branded online casino games have become a very profitable segment of the
market and Playtech’s latest coup will go a long way toward building excitement
and publicity for the company throughout the next four years. The first of the
newly licensed gaming content is due out in by this coming summer according to
initial expectations from Playtech. |
