For the past three years, following a public tender, Playtech
has been providing RAY with its leading Casino and Poker products
according to Finnish regulation. During this time, RAY has
had great success in the market with almost €50m GGR (Gross Gaming
Revenue) reported for 2012 alone. RAY's overall gaming
revenues have increased significantly by integrating online gaming
into its entertainment portfolio for Finnish consumers, without
compromising business development across Finland's land based gaming operations.
Shay Segev, Playtech's COO,
commented, "We are very pleased that the partnership between the
two companies has remained strong and that moving forward, we will
continue to see the relationship grow. With the recent launch
of Playtech's Mobile Casino, RAY will have yet another
platform to drive revenue and engage players in the Finnish market
for years to come. RAY is a strategic Playtech partner,
demonstrating our strong position in Regulated Markets."
