Pokie developer International Game Technology has thrived in the Australian and New Zealand gambling markets for decades. Now, the company is spreading its wings on an international scale, and its latest expansion sees the popular developer providing its games to Canadian lottery operator Loto Quebec. EspaceJeux is the online gambling portal for the Quebecois lottery operator.
The portal not only allows players to purchase lottery tickets online; it also gives them the opportunity to play a wide range of online casino games. The website has been incredibly popular among local residents, and now Loto Quebec is ready to expand into the mobile gambling market. IGT will help the lottery provider take this big step by providing Loto Quebec with a wide range of high quality online slots titles.
The games will be available via mobile devices as well as on the lottery website’s gaming portal. "IGT is the leading provider of high quality casino games to regulated lotteries throughout Canada and worldwide," says Robert Melendres, IGT’s Executive Vice President. " As regulated online gambling moves forward in Canada, IGT continues to partner with lotteries to offer our most popular titles."
Now, Quebec players will have access to the games that pokie players across Australia have been enjoying all along. The collection will include Kitty Glitter, Da Vinci Diamonds and Cats. IGT will be rolling out the titles as soon as possible, to ensure that players have quick access to this great suite of games. Canada seems to be the ideal spot for online gaming developers, especially when it comes to mobile gambling.
In 2012, the average mobile user downloaded 17.3 games. Halfway through 2013, the number is already at 15.4. There is huge potential for growth in the market, and IGT has made a wise decision by choosing to expand into Canada.
