The Illinois Gaming Board has granted a manufacturer license to Lottomatica Group subsidiary SPIELO International Canada ULC (SPIELO International Canada). This manufacturer license means that SPIELO International Canada is approved to provide its products and services to the new Illinois Video Gaming Terminal (VGT) market.
SPIELO International Canada will be providing the player-tested prodiGi Vu™ and Vu Slant™ terminals, as well as a suite of proven and compelling poker and line games, to VGT operators through its distribution agreement with American Gaming & Electronics, Inc (AG&E). SPIELO International Canada and AG&E expect to begin selling VGTs and related games in the state once the Illinois Gaming Board grants VGT operator licenses. SPIELO International Canada has more than 20 years’ experience providing VGT hardware, software, and systems in distributed bar and restaurant route markets.
“We’re pleased that SPIELO International Canada has been approved to offer its products to the Illinois market. In similar operator-based markets, such as South Dakota and Montana, our games and terminals are top performers.
