Smaller Sector Taking Off
The skill gaming industry may not be nearly as lucrative as the online casino
gambling industry is in the long run – but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a
market for this sector of the industry…and some money to be made. Skill gaming
has also proven a very useful sector of the industry because online casinos that
can not yet enter closed markets, such as the Italian market, can instead launch
skill gaming sites as a way to establish brand identity in the market when the
company anticipates that legalization of an internet gambling market is not far
behind. Recent news out of the Italian gaming industry indicates that Cogetech
SpA will now license and offer the GameAccount suite of games to Italian punters
and bettors logging on to the company’s popular Mistertoto.it site.
A lot of the top online sportsbookies have begun to augment their offerings will
the GameAccount suite of games. Online casinos really benefit from the
entertainment value of endless types of slots, keno, and blackjack games. For
the horserace and sportsbetting sites, skill gaming allows the sites to offer a
bit of something different without competing for the dollar.
Both companies are enthusiastic about the new licensing deal – for GameAccount
it gives the company additional access to the lucrative and largely untapped
Italian market. And for Cogetech, the offering of skill gaming will make the
online sportsbetting site competitive with some of the industry giants like Stan
James, Will Hill, Victor Chandler, and others that also offer skill gaming. |
