Online casino content developer and supplier 1X2 Network last week expanded its foothold even further as its games library was taken live by online casino brand BGO.

BGO was the latest client of the iGaming provider to go live with its suite of diverse online casino games.

1X2 Network and BGO penned a content supply deal a few months ago but it was only recently when the online casino gained access to the provider’s titles.

Under the terms of the agreement, BGO players are now able to access releases from 1X2 Network’s Iron Dog Studio and 1X2gaming game development arms.

The content recently rolled out with BGO includes hit titles such as Rainbow Wilds and Battle Maidens as well as Pirate Kingdom Megaways, 1X2 Network’s first game to deploy Big Time Gaming’s innovative and highly popular Megaways mechanic.

The integration of 1X2 Network content with BGO took place via Playtech’s POP iGaming platform.

Truly Fantastic Content

Commenting on their partnership with 1X2 Network, BGO Product Director Andy Dymock said that they take great pride in their games offering and “invest a great deal of time in finding the best developers to add to the mix.”

Mr. Dymock went on to say that 1X2 Network’s game development studios Iron Dog Studio and 1X2gaming “are on a run of developing and launching some truly fantastic games” and that they are delighted to now be able to provide their players with access to these games.

1X2 Network Chief Commercial Officer Kevin Reid commented that since their partnership with Playtech, their distribution network of tier-one operator partners “has ramped up” and that they are delighted to now work with BGO.

Mr. Reid added that their games “deliver quality across the board from design to gameplay, ramping up the fun factor and keeping players engaged and entertained.”

LatAm Expansion

News that 1X2 Network content has gone live with BGO emerge just days after the gambling provider announced that it has been able to significantly bolster its presence in Latin America with a deal with iGaming and betting operator BetWarrior.

Under the terms of that recently clinched deal, BetWarrior would be able to offer its LatAm gambling audience the entire 1X2 Network suite of online casino games, including the above-mentioned Pirate Kingdom Megaways.

Of its partnership with BetWarrior, an ambitious and rapidly growing online gambling operation that was launched last summer, 1X2 Network said earlier this month that it was delighted to see its content live with its new partner and that Latin America was “a key area of development” for the content developer and supplier.

The link-up between BetWarrior and 1X2 Network would also see the operator gain access to the provider’s suite of virtual sports offering.

Online gambling operator Kindred Group is cutting 75 jobs across offices around the world, a company spokesperson told media outlets in Malta where Kindred is headquartered.

The spokesperson pointed out that the company’s decision to cut its workforce had no connection with the ongoing health crisis that has gripped the world.

The planned layoff of employees is rather part of Kindred’s efforts to streamline its operations and cut costs where required.

As mentioned above, Kindred is headquartered in Malta, and it has 12 other offices around Europe, the US, and Australia. The gambling operator has just under 400 employees working at its corporate headquarters. Its locations in Gibraltar, London, and Stockholm also have between 300-400 staff members in each.

When contacted by Maltese news outlet Times of Malta, Kindred’s spokesperson said that they have not disclosed the number and nationality of employees at risk at each of the group’s locations, but noted that just a few jobs would be cut at its corporate headquarters.

The spokesperson went on to say that individuals at risk of redundancy are “spread across most of our markets” and that the action “follows previous communication regarding the group’s financial performance during 2019 and subsequent action to increase efficiency and reduce operational costs across the business.”

Making Operations “Leaner and Stronger”

The Kindred spokesperson explained that the decision for the looming job cuts was made after careful consideration and an exhaustive review of business operations within the group. That review was part of a wider review of Kindred’s cost base.

The redundancies are part of the group’s effort to make its business operations “leaner and stronger” so they can better support its objective to “deliver long-term, sustainable revenue from regulated markets.”

Kindred’s multi-brand portfolio is present in a number of regulated markets. Most recently, the company’s flagship brand, Unibet, has been expanding its US foothold where many states have liberalized their online gaming and sports betting laws in recent years.

Kindred plans to start a formal consultation process regarding the workforce reduction later this month.

The company’s CEO, Henrik Tjärnström, commented that putting “good colleagues at risk of redundancy is a very tough and painful decision, but unfortunately necessary as we adapt to new market realities.”

News about the looming job cuts at Kindred emerge shortly after Swedish online gambling provider NetEnt announced that it would lay off approximately 120 employees in its Stockholm and Malta offices as part of its full integration with Red Tiger.

NetEnt purchased the casino games studio last fall and has been gradually integrating its operations with Red Tiger’s to better position itself in the competitive online gaming space.

Online casino content provider Push Gaming has added a new top-tier client to its ever-growing network amid its ongoing transformation from a boutique casino games developer to a full-fledged industry supplier.

The company announced today that it has partnered up British bookmaker William Hill to provide it with its entire slots portfolio.

Popular Push Gaming titles such as Jammin’ Jars, The Shadow Order, and Razor Shark will go live with William Hill. The supplier will keep rolling out content with the operator as it releases new games in future.

The integration will be carried out via Push Gaming’s in-house gaming platform. The provider will be adding content to William Hill’s games library in the coming weeks.

This is the latest major content supply deal announced by Push Gaming in recent days. Last week, the company announced that it has partnered up with another big industry name as it looks to grow its network of clients and its presence across new and existing markets.

Push Gaming revealed last week that it has agreed to supply its content portfolio to GVC Holdings’ online gaming brands, which include Ladbrokes, Coral, and bwin, among others.

Just as with William Hill, Push Gaming’s suite of casino games will be rolled out across GVC’s brands in several phases.

Teaming Up with an Industry Titan

Of their recent partnership with William Hill, Push Gaming’s CEO, James Marshall, said that the legacy British bookmaker is “a titan of the industry and [they] are delighted to be supplying them with a selection of [their] games.”

Mr. Marshall also noted that the first batch to be added to William Hill’s existing offering will include a selection of Push Gaming’s most popular games, with more titles set to be integrated in the coming months.

The supplier’s chief added that their content has “proven to be hugely popular with players all over the world” and that they believe their games will be a big hit with William Hill’s player base, as well.

As mentioned above, Push Gaming is currently transforming its business from a boutique online casino games developer to a full-blown supplier of content for the online gambling industry that manages its own proprietary platform.

The ongoing transformation was boosted by the acquisition of Game Server Integrations (GSI), which Push Gaming announced early this year.

Thanks to the deal, Push Gaming will be able to implement its growth plans throughout the year, which include the introduction of new content as well as of platform feature innovations and in-game mechanics. All these are anticipated to hit the iGaming market in the months to come.

Push Gaming’s titles are all designed to provide an immersive and engaging, mobile-focused gaming experience. Its games are available across all devices and operating systems, including on desktop.

Online slots developer SYNOT Games has expanded its presence in Romania’s regulated iGaming market through a recent partnership with Casa Pariurilor, a subsidiary of gambling operator Fortuna Entertainment.

After a successful integration, SYNOT’s entire slots portfolio will be rolled out gradually with Casa Pariurilor, known to be one of the leading casino and sports betting sites servicing Romanian players.

Casa Pariurilor customers will now gain access to popular SYNOT titles including Respin Joker, Alchemist’s Gold, and Fruit Awards. These and other games from the developer have already proved popular with Romanian gaming enthusiasts.

Aside from its online gaming operation, Casa Pariurilor also manages a network of betting shops around Romania. The gambling company was acquired by Hattrick Sports Group in late 2014 and has since then expanded its retail estate to more than 700 retail betting locations around the country.

Casa Pariurilor is the latest Romanian partner SYNOT has teamed up with as part of its expansion campaign in the nation. Last summer, the developer and supplier partnered Romania’s largest gambling operator Superbet in a move that strengthened SYNOT’s foothold not only in the country but also in other markets where the gambling operator boasts presence in.

Delighted to Launch Games with Another Big Romanian Player

SYNOT Games CEO Ivan Kodaj said that they are delighted to launch their content through another established Romanian gambling company and that they deem it a “great opportunity to further expand the reach of our games and boost our brand recognition by cooperating with leading iGaming companies.”

Casa Pariurilor Product Specialist Irina-Ioana Negotei commented that SYNOT Games’ “special content” has provided them with “the ability to add fresh and high quality engaging games, full of intriguing features and mechanics that players love.” Ms. Negotei went on that the provider’s titles will, without a doubt, “prove to be very popular with our players.”

News about SYNOT’s partnership with Casa Pariurilor arrive just days after the online casino games provider announced that it has launched it games with Casino Portugal in the Portuguese online gaming market.

Casino Portugal was the third Portugal-facing operator SYNOT has teamed up in a bid to expand its presence in the lucrative market.

SYNOT Games boasts an ever-expanding product suite that currently has more than 50 gaming titles. It is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and its games are certified by regulators in a number of European markets, including Spain, Italy, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, and Malta.

SYNOT’s titles are available in 25 languages and are currently live with more than 100 online casinos that service players from around Europe.
