In the meantime, it was reported this week that iSoftBet will be acquired by IGT, essentially doubling the IGT PlayDigital content library to 225 games. It is expected that the deal will close during the second quarter of this year, if all goes according to plan.

IGT executives believe that the acquisition of iSoftBet will provide market-test proprietary content, advanced game aggregation capabilities, scalable promotion tools and strong creative talent to IGT’S PlayDigital operations.

“This will enhance PlayDigital’s competitive capabilities with a proven, complementary content portfolio across Europe and North America as we provide best-in-class games and technology to our fast-growing igaming customers,” said IGT’s chief executive Vince Sadusky.
