NetEnt’s iconic slot brand Starburst will be utilised alongside Gaming Realms’ renowned Slingo genre to design a contemporary gaming platform that will incorporate both experiences.
As per the agreement, Slingo Starburst is set to be the first game announced, which will arrive onto the online Real Money Gaming market early next year.
The game will be made available to a worldwide audience, and representatives from both Slingo and NetEnt have expressed their delight at the deal.
“We're thrilled to have secured the licensing rights to NetEnt brands; their slot games have dominated the gaming industry for years,” said Mark Segal, CFO at Gaming Realms. “The combination of Slingo and Starburst will create a new game of significant global stature, bringing together the best features of both, making this collaboration very exciting for fans.”
NetEnt COO Andy Whitworth also commented on the agreement.
“To widen the reach of our portfolio and building brand awareness in new markets is a vital part of our strategy,” he said. “Gaming Realms has an extraordinary reach among Slingo fans, especially in the US. We are certain that great games will come out from combining Gaming Realms' expertise, the Slingo grid mechanic and our renowned IP.”
