By Peter Lynch

The international sports betting and gaming operator of Planetwin365 casino, SKS365 Group is one of the largest operators in the Italian market.

Through the agreement, Planetwin365 casino will leverage IGT PlayDigital’s remote game server (RGS) to offer an expanded content library with new PlayCasino games across the region.

“IGT PlayDigital’s broad portfolio of entertaining PlayCasino titles, paired with the company’s extensive knowledge of the Italian gaming market will ensure Planetwin365 casino players have access to world-class content,” said SKS365 Group Chief Commercial Officer Troy Cox.

“Our partnership with IGT PlayDigital includes monthly PlayCasino game releases and promotions that will help strengthen and grow the overall Planetwin365 casino brand.”

20 IGT PlayCasino games - including Cleopatra, The Big Easy and Cash Eruption - have joined the existing lineup, with Planetwin365 intending to enhance its content library with an additional 30 IGT PlayCasino games over the next two months.

IGT President of iGaming Gil Rotem commented: “IGT PlayDigital's multi-year agreement with SKS365 Group, one of the largest operators in the market, combines two powerhouse gaming companies with deep roots in Italy to deliver market-attuned themes to Planetwin365 casino players.

“By incorporating IGT’s high-functioning RGS, Planetwin365 casino can offer an optimal player experience with some of the industry’s top-performing games such as IGT’s Temple of Fire, Pharaoh's Fortune and Scarab. We look forward to expanding our PlayCasino footprint and continuing to provide best-in-class solutions to Italian players.”

Last week, IGT noted it will contribute to a $415m settlement intended to end a class action lawsuit connected to DoubleDown Interactive (DDI). The suit, Benson v DoubleDown Interactive, concerns DDI’s social casino product, which the plaintiffs allege violated Washington State law.
