Inspired Entertainment has announced a strategic partnership with Novomatic to carry Novomatic’s content on Inspired’s platform to deliver a market-specific product combination to the leading Greek betting and lottery operator, OPAP.

Novomatic games, including Book of Ra Deluxe, Dolphin’s Pearl Deluxe, Sizzling Hot Deluxe, Lucky Lady’s Charm Deluxe, are now live in Greece via Inspired’s Core Connect platform, with Roaring Forties soon to become available. All games have been certified by the Hellenic Gaming Commission for deployment to Inspired VLTs in OPAP venues across Greece.

“I’m delighted to announce Inspired’s strategic partnership with Novomatic,” said Luke Alvarez, President and CEO of Inspired. “This is the first agreement of its kind which combines content and platform providers to deliver a premium customer experience. Inspired’s performance to date in Greece exemplifies our business’ ability to deliver globally, and we anticipate that the addition of this premium Novomatic content onto the Inspired platform will only add to this success.’

“Novomatic is excited to be a part of this landmark deal, which will deliver a unique and compelling product combination to the Greek market,” said Thomas Graf, Novomatic. “We look forward to further expanding our portfolio of available games with Inspired and to a successful business relationship with Inspired and OPAP,” he added.

“In line with OPAP’s strategic priority of building a world class portfolio of products and services, we are delighted to be delivering new premium content from Novomatic to our VLT customers via Inspired’s open platform technology,” said Damian Cope, OPAP CEO. Mr. Cope added: “We look forward to adding even more content in the future in order to be able to offer our customers in Greece a wide range of entertaining gaming content.”

Inspired has also confirmed that it will supply an additional 1,400 VLTs to OPAP in Q1 2018.

To date, Inspired has supplied 3,960 cabinets to OPAP, with over 2,200 machines now operating as part of OPAP’s continued deployment of VLTs into its retail network. The additional 1,400 cabinets will bring the total number of Inspired machines in OPAP’s network to 5,360.

Mr. Alvarez said: “The extension to our existing agreement is testament to the performance of both Inspired’s hardware and content, and I look forward to continuing to deliver best-in class products to OPAP, and to the continued success of our business relationship.”

Mr. Cope added: “As the exclusive operator of VLTs in Greece, OPAP always seeks to cooperate with the industry’s leading providers of modern gaming technology and solutions. We are driven to offer our customers the highest quality of innovative gaming products and pleased to be extending our existing cooperation together.”
