Sumario
(US).- 888 Holdings, the parent company of 888 Poker, announced a deal with US slot machine supplier WMS Gaming. The deal enables WMS to offer 888’s proprietary poker platform to its US land-based casino customers, initially on a play-for-fun basis but eventually it is hoped on a real money basis when legislation is in place.

The agreement will then see the launch of a real money offering when either Federal or state-based regulation is finalised and gaming authorities grant licences. Earlier this year, both companies have applied for interactive gaming licenses in Nevada.
888’s CEO, Brian Mattingley, said, "WMS is one of the main gaming suppliers in America, with a network of relationships with land-based operators that is second to none. “The combination of 888’s cutting edge online poker platform and WMS’ customer relationships, marketing and distribution capabilities, provides the opportunity to build a substantial online presence.
“By deploying our joint online poker solution, casino operators in the United States will be able to provide their customers with a robust and secure network with the liquidity and games offering to give the best possible player experience," Mattingley added.
Orrin Edidin, president of WMS, said the new partnership would allow WMS to provide its casino customers the capabilities of “one of the world’s most experienced online poker operators.”
