LAS VEGAS, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SG Interactive, a
division of Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS)
("Scientific Games" or the "Company"), saw three fan-favorite
titles, Rainbow Riches, Rainbow Riches Pick 'n' Mix and
Spartacus Gladiator of Rome,
in iGaming Tracker's top 10 slot rankings, demonstrating the
Company's unparalleled expanse of distribution in the UK
marketplace.
Rainbow Riches, the Company's flagship title in the UK
and one of the best-performing gaming slot brands in the UK
marketplace, rose to No. 1 on the list, knocking out
NetEnt's Starburst and ending their five-month
streak. Its sequel, Rainbow Riches Pick 'n' Mix, landed in
the seventh slot and Spartacus Gladiator of Rome in 10th.
Both Rainbow Riches and Rainbow Riches Pick 'n'
Mix are available in UK betting shops, while Spartacus
Gladiator of Rome can be found
in UK betting shops and land-based casinos globally. Making games
accessible to players online, via mobile, and in retail betting
locations is a key strategy for Scientific Games. The Company's
omni-channel delivery empowers players to enjoy their favorite
titles in their preferred format and environment, driving the
content to become staples in the UK player community.
Barry Cottle, SG Interactive's
Group Chief Executive, said, "Earning three of 10 spots in this
ranking is a testament to the power of our brands and our
omni-channel strategy. Our games are recognizable, reliable, and,
most importantly, fun for the players. When they perform this well,
it sends a message that we're the content provider of choice for
the UK marketplace. Our success in regulated European markets is
continually growing, and we look forward to keeping that momentum
going."
SG Interactive continues to see great success with the
Rainbow Riches brand. Additional titles include Rainbow
Riches Reels of Gold, Rainbow Riches Leapin' Leprechauns
and Rainbow Riches Free Spins, which launched in March.
