Austria Trusts GTech
The Austrian online casino gambling industry has encountered a lot of setbacks
and media attention as the state government attempts to sort out a gambling
policy and regulations that will level the playing field without creating a
state monopoly and without operating under protectionist polices that make
foreign sites unable to operate. While the online casinos are being worked out
though the Austrian Lottery announced that a deal for new side games within the
country has just been inked with GTech G2. These newly planned side games are
intended to compliment the current lottery industry and keep gamblers interested
in staying with the state option.
GTech is a strong brand within the European online casino gambling industry so
even the fact that the company can offer side games into the Austrian market is
a huge success when it comes to building a brand foundation. This deal with
GTech marks the Austrian lottery’s first step into the online gambling industry
and the G2 offerings were actually a prefect match for the lottery officials
because GTech already has a history with the Austrian gambling market and the
games have been such a large and proven success in so many other markets.
In addition the three new instant win games that GTech will develop and launch
for the Lotteries GTech operates an online casino poker site that does a good
deal of business in the market right now. The company has proven itself
trustworthy and successful in the past on the Win2Day site and there is no
reason to assume that GTech will not also manifest this level of support of the
new skill based games. |
