Svenska Spel launches Playtech Casino in Sweden

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Playtech, the world’s leading gambling technology company, and Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, the leading gambling operator in the Swedish regulated market, have agreed a partnership which sees Playtech provide its portfolio of online Casino and live games to the Swedish market.

Svenska Spel Sport & Casino’s players are able to play leading titles such as Buffalo Blitz and a number of games within the Age of the Gods suite, with more top-performing slot games launching throughout the rest of the year. " Due to the speed and efficiency of the integration project, we have been able to integrate our external wallet system smoothly resulting in a seamless launch", said Niklas Örtbrant, Head of Online Casino, Svenska Spel Sport & Casino.

The initial launch of Playtech Casino content was closely followed by a number of Playtech Live game launches, including new innovations such as the industry-unique Quantum Blackjack.

Jonas Nygren, VP Casino, Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, added: " We are very happy to have Playtech on-board and look forward to be offering their games to our players. We believe Playtech's existing and upcoming portfolio has much to offer, including the Age of the Gods suite of games which already have proved popular at launch. Playtech also brings exceptional innovation within the Live segment, which allows us to expand this important category for our players.”

Shimon Akad, Playtech Chief Operating Officer, said: “This is a key new partnership for Playtech. Svenska Spel Sport & Casino are the Swedish market’s leading operator, and with Playtech providing content across both online Casino and a burgeoning area such as Live Casino, it will provide a compelling offer to its customers. It also serves as a perfect example of Playtech partnering with industry leaders in regulated markets to expand and underpin new and innovate offerings.”
