We look forward to bringing Inspired’s popular VLT entertainment to Cogetech venues, alongside our Virtual Sports.”
Cogetech Spa, founded in 2004 as a start-up between a group of Italian gaming entrepreneurs and the world primary player Gtech Corporation, is today one of the leading companies in the Italian gaming industry. Cogetech operates directly more than 5,200 VLTs, manages a network of more than 38,000 AWPs in about 15.000 shops, operates sports and horse racing betting through a retail network of 189 points of sale under the brand iZiPlay across Italy and provides services to a network of 300 independent betting shops.
Cogetch CEO, Fabio Schiavolin, also commented: “We are committed to providing the best range of entertainment to our players, and Inspired’s VLT products and games are proven to be popular with Italian players. We have been impressed by Inspired’s range of approved VLT cabinets and games. This partnership will give us access to Inspired’s cabinets and games, as well as other leading suppliers such as Apex, WMS and Merkur Gaming.”
