Playson teams up with 888casino to offer online slots
As part of the tie-up, the game developer will provide its portfolio through the Pariplay platform and will initially go live with the operator in Sweden, Spain, Denmark, Italy and Romania during the first quarter of 2020. The firm is set to launch in Gibraltar & UK later in the current year. The deal gives 888casino access to Playson’s slots which incorporates its latest release, Fruit Xtreme, the second chapter from its Funky Fruits series. Christos Zoulianitis, senior account manager at Playson, said: “We’re thrilled to be joining forces with an operator as well-established as 888casino & huc99.
“The company has been at the forefront of the online gaming industry for over a decade. Our portfolio of games will be a great addition to its offering, and we are excited to be further extending our reach across Europe.” Meanwhile, Guy Cohen, senior vice president of 888casino & huc99, said: “888casino is focused on expanding its offering to customers by developing in-house games and adding third-party content to its unique platform. Playson has a fantastic team which have developed a unique portfolio of games, including classics such as Solar Queen and Red Chilli Wins. We are excited to add these games to 888casino, which will enhance the player experience.” Four Oakland County and three Macomb County businesses have shut down after the state accused them of operating illegal slot machines. A dozen businesses in all in Michigan were issued cease-and-desist orders after investigators in 2019 visited 14 establishments that claimed to operate redemption games, which are legal, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board and Attorney General Dana Nessel. Investigators determined the locations instead were offering casino-style video slot machines for patrons’ use and therefore constituted gambling. Outcomes on these types of machines are based on chance, not skill, officials said. When given the opportunity to cease operations, each location chose to close rather than face potential criminal charges, Kalm said in the release. An unlicensed gambling business operator can face a 10-year felony charge. Last month, David Hoppe, 57, of St. Clair County, last month was convicted by Macomb County jury of illegal gambling operations and three other charges in connection with operating an illicit slot-machine business in Roseville. He is scheduled to be sentenced March 5. “Illegal gambling can lead to money laundering and other crimes that impact the safety and security of Michigan communities,” Kalm said. “Legal gambling is taxed and regulated, and taxes go back into the community as funding for K-12 education. An illegal gambling operation doesn’t support the community but instead siphons funds away from it.” Nessel added: “Gambling regulations are in place for a reason, and when bad actors choose to ignore the law, they must be held accountable.” Online casino software provider and aggregator Slotegrator has announced a new partnership with premium quality slot developer Revolver Gaming.
