Playtech has signed a new long-term software and services agreement with Holland Casino.

Holland Casino is a state-owned and land-based casino operator in the Netherlands, operating 14 casinos across the country.

With the online gambling market in the Netherlands set to launch in October, Holland Casino is looking to expand online through betting and gaming products.

Under the agreement, Holland Casino will see Playtech become its strategic technology supplier; Playtech will offer the casino its full multichannel technology and certain ancillary services.

The casino will also gain access to Playtech’s IMS platform and all of its products across betting and gambling such as its sports betting, casino and poker products.

Playtech has said it will build a live casino facility in one of Holland Casino’s existing locations.

Holland Casino CEO, Erwin van Lambaart, added: "Holland Casino has high ambitions for the new online market and at the same time we are determined to play a leading role when it comes to responsible gaming and player protection.

“Playtech has the track record and necessary scale to deliver industry leading software, marketing and responsible gambling tools to the number one brand in the Netherlands.

"We look forward to the online market launching in the Netherlands in October 2021 and to a long and successful cooperation with Playtech as we work together to capture this exciting opportunity."
