IGT expands $174M digital content portfolio with iSoftBet acquisition
International Game Technology (IGT) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire game content provider and game aggregator iSoftBet for $174 million.
The deal brings IGT PlayDigital's portfolio to 225 games, double the current list. In total, iSoftBet's content library includes 125 proprietary (copyrighted) games, as well as over 4,600 third-party games built on the company's platform.
The deal is scheduled to close in the second quarter of 2022.
IGT is the dominant manufacturer of slot machines and one of the largest lottery operators in the world. Last year, the company announced its ambitions in the field of iGaming and in September 2021 announced the creation of a dedicated digital and betting division.
In February of this year, IGT also signed a definitive agreement to sell its Italian contactless payment business to PostePay, Patrimonio Destinato, for €700 million. The deal will close in the 3rd quarter.
CarolTheAngry The article is certainly powerful, but has anyone actually won anything in these slots? I have a feeling that the RTP here is purely on paper
RodriguezSusan Great article! As a professional player with 15 years of experience, I confirm - everything is clearly described about the rake. Only they forgot to mention that some casinos have rakeback programs that make this pain a little easier. In mine, for example, you can get back up to 40% with active play.
KevinTheGracious Reducing RTP is a huge red flag for any casino. Players should be able to trust that the games are fair and follow the developer's standards. Thanks for the warning—I’ll avoid Coins Game Casino from now on.
DavisMary7 It’s about time Merkur made some big changes. Their slots have felt outdated for years. Let’s hope this new leadership can finally bring some fresh ideas to the table and give us a game worth playing!
ThomasTheCunning Bonkku has broken all the patterns! 27k on euros is not money, it's SPACE! Who else can do that? I'm shocked, honestly. Someday I'll win like that, I'm sure!)
ChristopherTheSerene What a review! So many new games, it's making my mouth water! "Tanked" especially caught my attention - post-apocalyptic in a slot, it's just fire
EdwardsPatricia2 Come on, Bonanza is really the best, it has saved my bank many times. If it weren't for it, I would have been sitting in the red for a long time. But the music is already boring, it's really annoying, I always turn it off.
CunningHawk People have so much free time - to lose at the casino, watch streams and go to work to earn money for the casino. Amazing.
LisaTheTrustworthy Fallsview is total crap! I was there, queues everywhere, the staff is rude. And the prices in the restaurant are just outrageous! I don't recommend it to anyone.
CharlesThomas No surprise here—gambling keeps breaking records because it’s everywhere now. From online casinos to sports betting, it feels like everyone’s cashing in except the players!
