Tain offers a wide range of software and infrastructure services to small and medium sized gaming operators and for the past five years has provided its licensees access to Playtech's iPoker network.
The recent agreement significantly expands this arrangement through the provision of Playtech's world-class Casino product. This will encompass a comprehensive games library that includes slots, table and card games, video poker and a wide range of branded content. Tain's licenses will have access to a full range of management tools via Playtech's unified administration system, the IMS.
For Playtech, this broadens the product offering available through Tain's cost-effective platform for smaller operators who might otherwise not have the opportunity to access Playtech's technology platform or content.
Christer Fahlstedt, Tain's Chief Executive said: 'This deal further strengthens our cooperation with Playtech, which is approaching its fifth anniversary. The ability to offer Playtech's excellent content greatly strengthens our offering and is an important step in our commitment to supply small and medium sized operators with the very best products available.'
Playtech's Chief Executive, Mor Weizer said: 'We are delighted to be able to further expand our offering with Tain and look forward to welcoming their operators onto the casino platform, having had considerable experience with the iPoker product for a number of years. This is made possible through Playtech's cross-platform infrastructure which gives operators the ability to seamlessly integrate a number of different products from our portfolio. This is a central element to our success in building on our relationships with our existing partners.'
