Major online gaming provider Microgaming continues to deliver on its strategy to expand its regulated presence through its recent entry into the Portuguese iGaming market.
The Isle of Man-based company has been able to set foot in Portugal through a content distribution partnership with ESC Online, the online casino brand of Estoril Sol Digital.
Estoril Sol Digital is the interactive gambling operation of Portuguese casino operator Grupo Estoril Sol, a company that boasts more than five decades of experience in the operation of brick-and-mortar gambling facilities around the country.
Estoril Sol Digital was the first operator to be granted a license for the provision of online casino services on the territory of Portugal under the country’s newly adopted gambling regulatory regime. The operator obtained its license from the Portuguese gambling regulator, Serviço de Regulação Inspeção de Jogos (SRIJ), in July 2016, or about two months after the reorganization of the local market.
A year later, Estoril Sol Digital also received a license for the operation of a digital sportsbook in Portugal.
Microgaming said this week that after a successful integration, a selection of its online slots has gone live with ESC Online and the brand is now providing those to its customers. More content will be added in the future, the major provider of innovative and diverse titles for the highly competitive and rapidly growing online gambling industry said.
Commitment to the Highest Standards
Commenting on their Portuguese expansion, Microgaming Chief Operating Officer Andrew Clucas said that they are delighted to extend their reach to that market and that they are thrilled to be providing some of their most engaging and successful titles to one of Portugal’s leading iGaming brands.
Estoril Sol Digital CEO Rui Magalhães pointed out that their partnership with Microgaming demonstrates their commitment to providing their gambling customers with “excellent content” and experience.
Mr. Magalhães went on to say that with the addition of Microgaming’s casino titles, they look forward to bolstering their existing offering and providing players with access to rich and diverse online gaming library, and that they are confident that this collaboration will help them continue their success in their domestic market.
Portugal was the latest of several new markets Microgaming has been able to debut its content into over the past several months. The major content provider entered Sweden early this year, shortly after the reorganization of the local market and the introduction of a new regulatory regime that enabled international companies to obtain Swedish licenses and operate in a regulated environment.
Microgaming also set foot in the Czech Republic this year. The Czech online gambling market was liberalized in early 2017.
