This latest agreement furthers the partnership between SIS and Inspired Entertainment. With 49’s being the first brand to launch Inspired Entertainment’s virtual products over 20 years ago, the relationship is set to be enhanced by providing cutting-edge content experiences.

SIS-owned 49’s has experienced significant growth in the last year with a new platform and customer partnerships going live to provide access to the high-quality portfolio of live number draw products, which includes 49’s twice daily draws, 39’s and Fast 15’s.

Inspired Entertainment delivers a comprehensive portfolio of content, technology, hardware and services for regulated gaming, betting, lottery, social and leisure operators across land-based and mobile channels across 35 jurisdictions around the globe.

“We have enjoyed a fantastic partnership with Inspired Entertainment and we are thrilled to take this to the next level by enhancing our virtual product offering in thousands of betting shops,” the Head of Product Proposition for SIS, Jessica Mills, said. “We take great pride in delivering outstanding content to bettors and this will significantly improve the experiences across our virtual horse and greyhound racing content.”

“The relationship we have with SIS has gone from strength to strength, spanning over two decades, and we are delighted to deliver the next phase of our partnership,” the Virtual Sports Chief Commercial Officer for Inspired Entertainment, Steve Rogers, said. “The roll-out of more innovative virtual content for audiences will result in increased engagement with our products. With this new agreement, SIS and Inspired Entertainment aim to deliver an enhanced virtual betting experience to customers in betting shops across the United Kingdom and Ireland.”

Pioneering online casino content provider boosts distribution by partnering with major platform provider

RAW iGaming, the developer that takes a “Stand Out or Stand Down” approach to its online slots, has joined forces with Digitain in a deal that significantly increases the distribution and reach of its titles.

Operators powered by the cutting-edge Digitain platform can now offer their players some of the most in-demand content in the market, with each of RAW’s games having been designed to put players on the edge of their seats with every spin.

This is achieved through RAW’s unique approach to game development which combines innovative, trademarked mechanics and bonus features with striking design, big sound, and characters and narratives that draw players in.

Digitain now has access to RAW iGaming’s full portfolio with leading games including Ave Caesar, Raging Super2Ways and the latest release Twisted Toy TalesTM.

These titles include RAW’s flagship innovations such as SuperSlice®, SuperTracks® and SuperSymbolsTM.

SuperSlice uses wheels instead of reels while SuperTracks uses pathways or tracks to determine wins. SuperSymbols is another RAW innovation and sees adjacent matching symbols combine – the bigger the SuperSymbol, the bigger the win potential.

Digitain’s commitment to innovation aligns with RAW iGaming’s development philosophy, making this a strong partnership between two companies that believe in pushing boundaries and trying new things.

Tom Wood, Founder and CEO of RAW iGaming, said the provider has hit the market with players by daring to be different while still ensuring its mechanics and games are easy to understand.

“Players like to try new things, but they are not willing to spend time and money learning something entirely new. They want to play, and they want to be entertained, and we ensure that’s the case when they engage with any one of our titles.

“This partnership with Digitain is a big step forward as it significantly increases the reach of our games among prestigious operators as well as challenger brands looking for something new.”
