GTECH G2 adds full-featured fruit machines to casino portfolio

Bet365.com, which has offered over 250 instant win games from GTECH G2 since 2009, will be its first licensee to offer the new slots.

GTECH G2 will be the first distributor to offer Unionjackpot’s genuine, feature-packed fruit machines to its customers. The exclusive arrangement comes after an intense two year development programme by Unionjackpots.com which has resulted in traditional, feature lead fruit machine style games that have been perfectly replicated for the online consumer. The games can be specifically tailored to match the operator’s player base in terms of features, jackpots and demographics.

Under the initial agreement, four Unionjackpots games are being added to the GTECH G2 portfolio with options to add more. The new online slot machines include Mad Money Monster, a traditional UK pub-style fruit machine with five knockout levels offering scaling value prizes and interactive features, and Treasure Hunter, a quest for the Holy Grail with a Hi Lo bonus game built into it.

“This is a world first product and customer interest is very high,” said Dominic Mansour, VP Gaming Products at GTECH G2. “So we’re delighted to be the first to acquire it.”.

Peter Clayton, Chairman of Unionjackpots said, “In terms of what is out there this is night and day. If you look at what is currently available online in the fruit machine sector, with virtually no features or game play, they’re effectively a very basic and boring cut down slot. The offline industry did make games like that, but back in the 80’s”.
