By William - 1 October 2019

London-based Highlight Games Limited has announced that it has signed a pan-European framework agreement with the Fortuna Entertainment Group to supply its virtual sports products online, on mobile and in retail locations across central Europe.

Highlight Games will supply its virtual sports products including its flagship Soccerbet game in league and single match formats, NBA Last 60 and NBA Last 90 products to Fortuna.  

Soccerbet and NBA Last 90 will be available online and on 4,000 SSBTs in 2,500 Fortuna retail venues in territories including Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Croatia and Slovakia. NBA Last 60 will be available on-demand to Fortuna’s mobile customers.

Tim Green, CEO at Highlight Games, said: “I’m delighted to announce this partnership with Fortuna, which further extends Highlight Games’ presence in Europe.  Soccerbet is already the number one performing virtual sports betting game in Italy, and we look forward to replicating this success in additional regulated territories with Fortuna.  

“Highlight Games offer players a unique proposition; opportunities to bet on real highlights featuring real teams and real players and it is encouraging to see more operators recognizing the revenue-driving potential of these exclusive games.” 

Following rollout in Q3 2019, Highlight Games will be one of only two virtual sports suppliers in the Fortuna estate.

Michal Hanák, Group Chief Sportsbook Officer at Fortuna, added: “Fortuna is pleased to be adding Highlight Games’ innovative products to its virtual sports portfolio.  Offering customers the opportunity to bet on archive footage featuring their favourite teams and players is an exciting one, and we are confident that both Soccerbet and the much anticipated NBA Last 60 will prove popular both in retail and online outlets.”
