Inspired Entertainment and Cristaltec SPA have partnered and announced the installation of new Cristaltec VLT cabinets, running on Inspired's platform in a Spanish company Codere.

Codere is the seventh concessionaire to use Inspired's platform in Italy. Inspired's cooperation with Cristaltec within the country provides Codere with the ideal match to expand the Italian VLT market.

Lee Gregory, Inspired Entertainment’s CCO for Gaming, said: “Inspired is committed to the Italian market and providing the strongest and most reliable gaming experience.

“With Cristaltec’s partnership, our VLT system for Codere is set up for success.”

Alejandro Pascual Gonzalez, Regional Manager of Codere Europe and COO of Codere Italia, said: "Our goal is to offer our customers safe and innovative entertainment products. Inspired games have convinced us and we are sure that they will meet the expectations of the most demanding customers.”

Giovanni Agliata, Cristaltec Founder and AD, said: “Cristaltec Spa, which has always been a leader in the AWP segment has focused heavily on VLT and online products in the last two years, managing to cover all segments of the Italian gaming market.

“Thanks to the exceptional Codere distribution channel, the Inspired system ductility, and the Cristaltec product innovation for cabinets and the ability to develop games that intersect with players’ tastes, I am very confident that together we will be able to achieve ever better results in an increasingly competitive market.”

In a recent assessment, Fitch Ratings, a provider of credit ratings, research and analysis for global financial markets, upgraded Inspired's corporate rating from a "B-" to a "B," with a stable outlook rating.
