21st March 2024 8:51 am GMT

Veikkaus-owned supplier Fennica Gaming is expanding into the video lottery terminal (VLT) sector after integrating its content with IGT’s VLT platform.

The integration has initially seen Fennica Gaming’s VLT content go live with Svenska Spel’s network of 4,000 terminals across Sweden.

“IGT’s open technology has enabled us to supply our VLT games tailored for Svenska Spel’s needs,” said Fennica Gaming managing director Timo Kiiskinen. “For us, it has been of utmost importance to listen to the market’s wishes and to share the professional expertise we have within Veikkaus Group.”

IGT account development manager Rene Dissing commented: “Having worked with Fennica on a number of business opportunities and witnessed the very successful and localizable VLT content of its mother company Veikkaus, it was only natural to sign a cooperation agreement ensuring Fennica VLT content would become available to Svenska Spel initially.

“We are excited about the collaboration with Fennica and we are certain their content will complement the already successful IGT content available in Sweden.”

Svenska Spel product director for the Vegas division Joakim Åberg added: “IGT brought us to visit Fennica Gaming to learn about Finnish game development. We were instantly impressed by the Finnish games and how well they would fit into our special retail environment, both to the restaurants and to the bingo and pool arcades.

“The games are not too casino-like but they are perfectly suited to this particular sales channel, which foregrounds entertainment.”
