The Brand is Coming
Sonic the Hedgehog is coming to the online casino gambling industry and that
cheeky little cartoon character is likely to make quite a splash in the industry
as the Sonic games launch at the recently licensed SEGA Games powered gambling
sites. SEGA Games Ltd applied for a gambling license from the Alderney Gambling
Commission back in March and the company has just been granted the gaming
license and given permission to establish a head-quarters in Alderney. The SEGA
games are reminiscent of childhood for so many current adults; there is
certainly a nostalgia-factor is seeing Sonic the Hedgehog race across the screen
and through the branded slots and poker games at the SEGA company’s two branded
online casinos and poker sites.
The real Sega aficionados will be thrilled to know that Sonic the Hedgehog is
not the only branded characters making their way into the Sega online casino and
the Sega internet poker site. In fact all of the key branded Sega characters
will be used within the site and the games. In addition to Sonic, House of the
Dead and Virtua Fighter are sure-bets and gamblers can anticipate that the games
will be top-notch because of the licensing deal with Playtech. Playtech and SEGA
have inked a deal so that both of the online casinos will launch and operate on
the popular Playtech gaming platform.
The new games are already in development and there is a hope that the new online
casino and internet poker sites will be ready to fully launch in just a matter
of months. Playtech has agreed to not only supply the sites with the already
popular Playtech games, but new Sega branded games that will exclusive appear on
the Sega gaming sites. |
