Snai launches new casino channel with GameAccount
Monte Carlo channel features casino and slot games from the likes of IGT and Aristocrat.
GameAccount Network has announced the launch of a new casino channel on operator Snai’s dot.it site.
The Monte Carlo channel features a range of gaming content supplied by land-based casino game manufacturers including IGT and Aristocrat, as well as games developed exclusively for Snai by GameAccount Network.
The launch follows Italian regulator (AAMS) allowing free-spinning reels-based casino slots games in the regulated Italian egaming market last month.
Games available through GameAccount’s offering include popular titles from IGT, Incredible Technologies, Aristocrat and Ainsworth Game Technology as well as GameAccount Network casino table games Roulette Royale, Pro Blackjack and Hi Lo Vegas.
Dermot Smurfit (pictured), GameAccount Network’s CEO, said of the launch: “This represents another exciting chapter in the growing and dynamic Italian regulated Internet gaming market. Our gaming portfolio now represents the best-of-breed casino slot games alongside compelling table games, skill games and mobile casino gaming content all delivered in the certified compliant forms required by Italy’s regulatory regime.”
According to eGR‘s data partner H2 Gambling Capital, the Italian online casino market is anticipated to increase in size by two to four times from its current GGR rate of 100m per year, due in part to the introduction of slots.
The current market leaders for online casino table games are Lottomatica, with 21.2% market share, bwin Italia (8.7%) and Snai (8.6%).
In October, GameAccount Network signed a deal with Ainsworth to integrate the Australian slot manufacturer’s online game content into its European-facing platforms, a deal which mirrors that struck with Aristocrat in August last year for the North American market.
