Joining the likes of Snai, Gala Coral’s Eurobet and Sisal, Codere is now taking it’s plunge into online gambling via Playtech’s Italian bingo platform. Spanish multi-national gaming operator, Codere Interactiva, currently operates 13 major bingo halls in Italy and this deal marks the operator’s first venture into the online gaming market.
A Playtech spokesman said that the addition of Codere.it will complement its long-standing presence in Italian land-based bingo. The launch marked the first of a number of planned initiatives as Codere continues to develop its online gaming profile in regulated markets.
Playtech’s chief executive, Mor Weizer stated “We are delighted to welcome Codere as a licensee…They are a major gaming operator with a significant land based presence in Italy and we are very much looking forward to helping them develop their online presence in regulated markets”.
