GAMING SOFTWARE GIANT TO ENTER ONLINE GAMBLING
SECTOR?
18 September 2009
No official confirmation on speculation that
Sega may be about to enter the market
If true, speculation on several internet information
sites that Japanese gaming giant Sega is to enter the
online gambling sector is likely to create major
competitive waves.
With its significant range of
familiar and popular gaming themes lending themselves to
conversions into slot themes, and its considerable
technological abilities and experience in multi-media
gaming, Sega would be a formidable addition to the
roster of software providers.
The problem
is...there does not seem to be any substantiating facts
behind the speculation, and Sega has not made an
official statement. The story appears to have its
genesis on the gaming information website Gaming
Supermarket.com, but the article offers precious little
hard information backing the 'rumour' that Sega is
gearing up to enter the Internet gambling market.
Gaming Supermarket reports: "[Sega] hasn’t yet made
any official announcement on a potential online casino
and poker service, industry experts believe that the
company are (sic) hoping to use the power of the SEGA
brand to attract potential gamers [who] grew up with the
SEGA brand with the Megadrive, during the company’s most
successful period in the early-mid 1990’s."
Other
reports say - again without any substantiating facts -
that Sega could be on the scene as early as next
(October 2009 month).
But are these reports true
or just another item from the at times imaginative
rumour mill?
