NEW YORK, June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. ("Inspired") (NASDAQ: INSE) today announced
that it has signed a licensing agreement with Scientific Games to
make Inspired's leading Virtual Sports content available through
OpenMarketTM, Scientific Games' industry-first
aggregation platform for sports betting.
Inspired's Virtual Sports use lifelike graphics to mimic the
experience of real sports betting, thanks to technology that has
evolved over nearly two decades. Each event lasts around 90 seconds
and games are designed to be easy to play. Inspired offers the
largest array of sports available 24/7, providing a consistent
stream of sports betting content even at times when live sports are
not feasible. Virtual Sports provide new revenue streams for gaming
providers that can be integrated easily into existing sportsbooks
and websites. Trailers and demos of the latest Virtual Sports
offerings are available at www.inseinc.com/virtuals/.
The addition of Inspired's range of Virtual Sports further
strengthens Scientific Games' OpenMarket content offering. Through
a single integration, digital sportsbooks can expand their
portfolio with these engaging events to increase bettor
engagement.
"Virtual Sports have been a great complementary product to live
sports," said Keith
O'Loughlin, SVP Sportsbook, Digital for Scientific
Games. "But with major professional sports on hold due to the
COVID-19 crisis, Virtual Sports are helping fill a big void. We're
thrilled to partner with Inspired Entertainment so our partners can
offer their customers realistic computer-generated re-creations of
their favorite sports, and keep customers engaged between games
once live sports are back."
Inspired President and Chief Operating Officer Brooks Pierce said, "We are very
excited about this opportunity to work with Scientific Games in
bringing Virtual Sports to their customers' passionate fans.
Inspired has built the largest and most advanced portfolio of
Virtual Sports, and we're tailoring our products with a combination
of fast-paced action, ultra-realistic player simulations and a
tremendous breadth of bet types. We are looking forward to
working with Scientific Games and their wide global reach to bring
a continual stream of betting content to their partners' customers,
especially at this time when live sports content is so
limited."
