Inspired Gaming Group has announced a news advanced bonus and reward system for its customers. CORE VIP is dubbed “the industry’s most advanced bonus and rewards system,” and its debut will be at this January’s ICE Totally Gaming Show. The system is modular and allows in-game rewards for all games, even extending to third-party ones. Luke Alvarez, CEO at Inspired, commented: “Inspired is in a unique position in this industry in that we are large enough to compete with the US and European gaming giants, but we are small enough to keep innovation fast-paced and technology-focused. We are a technology company at heart andwill always deliver products that look great but perform even better, due to our unique SBG operating system. We’re launching another industry first with our CORE VIP ecosystem, which will take operators’ current marketing and loyalty strategies to the next level by spanning both online and retail, and allowing in-game rewards across the entire Open SBG™ game library.”
