Intertain Group Limited Launches Slots as Part of its Bingo Offering in Spain
Botemania Is First to Access the Spanish Market Legally With Slots in Order to Satisfy Customer Demand
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/02/15 -- The Intertain Group Limited ("Intertain" or the "Company") (TSX: IT) is pleased to announce that Botemania, acquired on April 8 as part of the Jackpotjoy acquisition, became the first operator to successfully launch slots in Spain earlier today.
The launch is being supported by a coordinated cross-channel marketing campaign, which includes extensive television advertising, and centers on Boteman, a superhero who saves everyday people from boredom with entertaining games.
"Botemania is already the number one bingo operator in Spain, and launching slots is a natural extension of providing a full bingo-led gaming experience," said John Kennedy FitzGerald, President and CEO of Intertain. "We have the strongest product suite in the industry and the early reaction from our customers is indicative of how long the market has been waiting for us."
"La Isla de Tiki" is proving to be very popular, as Spaniards were spinning the reels over 200 times per minute in the first half hour of activity.
"The Gamesys team has been working on this initiative since 2011, when the first call for general licenses was launched and slots were not going to be included in the initial regulated offering," said Mr. FitzGerald. "They worked tirelessly to lead the charge to have our product suite ready and available to the Spanish market for launch day. My congratulations to everyone at Gamesys."
The call for slots license applications was launched last year. Botemania was one of the first operators to receive its approved license and became the first operator to launch its slots products in the Spanish market - which is a clear indication of Intertain''s drive and focus.
Thanks to a coordinated effort between Gamesys, High5, and WMS Games, Botemania will offer the most compelling games as well as the best user experience for the Spanish market.
