(UK).- William Hill announces that it has awarded an exclusive contract to Inspired Gaming Group for the sole supply of gaming machines to the Group’s licensed betting offices (LBOs). Under the contract, William Hill has retained the flexibility of an option to return to a dual-supply model for a portion of its estate should it consider that to be in its best interests.

Inspired currently supplies 79% of the gaming machines in William Hill’s 2,350 LBOs through new generation ‘Storm’ cabinets which provide a high-quality gaming experience using high-definition, 22-inch dual-screen technology. It was launched in the William Hill estate between August 2009 and March 2010, and has consistently delivered strong growth.

William Hill is currently conducting a trial of a three-screen version of the ‘Storm’ cabinet in 100 LBOs, including marketing and rewards functionality. These cabinets will be rolled out to the remaining 21% of the William Hill estate by the middle of 2012 and discussions are ongoing about future technology innovations.

Ralph Topping, CEO of William Hill, said: “William Hill has established a reputation for the best gaming offer on the high street and this change to our machines estate will ensure we can continue to offer market leading technology to our customers. Inspired has consistently delivered outstanding performance and has a strong track record of innovation. We are delighted to have extended our contract with this valued partner.”

Luke Alvarez, CEO of Inspired Gaming Group, added: “We are proud to have been selected by William Hill as exclusive gaming machine supplier, after 4years of head to head comparisons. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with William Hill. We plan to drive the next wave of technology and game innovation in Server Based slots, with a number of upcoming world firsts in player rewards”
