World’s largest poker brand to launch industry’s leading slot games
London, UK and Onchan, Isle of Man: July 25th 2016 – Link Outdated / Removed, the world’s leading Omni-channel gaming software and services supplier, has signed a content agreement with PokerStars, extending its existing relationship with the world’s largest online poker site and one of the fastest growing online casinos.
PokerStars has gone live on desktop and mobile with a variety of Playtech titles, including industry-leading progressive jackpot games and in-house hits, such as White King, Frankie Dettori and Great Blue. Other top-performing branded slots are lined up to be made available to PokerStars players, including Top Gun, Gladiator, and the forthcoming DC series.
A further phase of Playtech’s best-performing games will launch shortly including the massive Age of the Gods™ series.
