While the format of virtual sports betting is gaining increasing popularity, Inspired Gaming Group are also rumored to be interested in exploiting a gap in the market by using the Colombian gambling laws to showcase their range of other gambling games. These include casino games such as slots and electronic table games, as well as their number one product, the virtual sports betting games.
internet gambling in Colombia is becoming more and more common, so it would appear as though the company are moving in the right direction, at the right time.
Harmen Brenninkmeijer, senior vice president of strategic market development at the Inspired Gaming Group commented: “We are pleased with our achievement in Colombia. We have the most advanced platform, which has proven to increase incomes for operators and yet is powerful and flexible enough to excel in markets with even the most stringent gaming legislation, such as the UK and Italy. We have established a successful partnership with local manufacturer and distributor, PMV S.A./Algazara S.A., and we look forward to the future of this exciting new market.”
A range of specially designed games, tailored exclusively for the Colombian gambling market has been generated, along with a remote update function for them, and promises of a large game library of other international hits readily available also. The 14th Andean Gaming Show will see the launch of the new Inspired games between the 11th and 12th of April, with the launch undoubtedly coming shortly after.
Providing a different medium with which to bet on sports in Colombia, is tipped to be a huge success in the country, although this is based on the rapid growth and popularity of the virtual sports betting programs already in operation in other countries.
