Sportech Extends and Expands its Partnership with Veikkaus
Sportech Racing and Digital, a division of Sportech PLC, has announced the extension of its agreement with Veikkaus of Finland for the ongoing licensing and support of its Quantum pari-mutuel betting system.
In addition to the extension agreement, Veikkaus will utilise Sportech’s Tote Service Layer to offer pari-mutuel betting on horseracing – alongside sports betting and lottery – from 4500 points of sale, a significant increase of 3500 over the current level of 1000.
“Veikkaus has been very pleased with the quality of the Sportech solution and the responsiveness of the Sportech team. We are excited to leverage Sportech’s technology solution to expand our network of pools betting points of sale; a change that we are confident will have a very positive impact on customer experience of horse racing betting in Finland,” Ari Aarnihuhta, SVP & CIO of Veikkaus, said.
“Sportech is delighted to once again extend our long relationship with Veikkaus and to help facilitate the dramatic expansion of pari-mutuel betting to their 4,500 unit retail network with implementation of our Tote Service Layer,” Bruno Gay, Sportech’s Senior Vice President Sales and Business Development EMEA, said.
“This project perfectly illustrates the flexibility of Quantum System and the seamless integrations facilitated by our Tote Service Layer. The combination of the two allows clients like Veikkaus to expand the reach of their pools betting products in order to grow their audience and deliver an overall better end user experience,” Bruno Gay added.

BGC RESPONSE TO DCMS MANDATORY LEVY AND ONLINE SLOTS STAKE LIMITS ANNOUNCEMENT
Betting and Gaming Council, CEO Grainne Hurst, said: “The BGC supported plans outlined in the White Paper published last year to reform stake limits and introduce a mandatory levy to fund Research, Prevention and treatment.
“BGC members voluntarily contributed over £170m over the last four years to tackle problem gambling and gambling related harm, including £50m this year alone, funding an independent network of charities currently caring for 85 per cent of all problem gamblers receiving treatment in Britain.
“Ministers must not lose sight of the fact that the vast majority of the 22.5m people who enjoy a bet each month, on the lottery, in bookmakers, casinos, bingo halls and online, do so safely, while the most recent NHS Health Survey for England estimated that just 0.4 per cent of the adult population are problem gamblers.
“The tone of this announcement suggests Government is at risk of losing perspective of these facts, while simply dancing to the tune of anti-gambling prohibitionists, which serves no one.”

ANOTHER HELLISHLY GOOD SLOT FROM HÖLLE
Hellish 777 (Höllische 777 in German speaking regions), releases today, the newest game from Hölle Games and the first 3×3 in the Hellish Seven franchise.
Fans of the series will instantly recognise the heavy metal backing track, the ever-present flames and of course the famous Seven itself, which in this game is a Wild, a 2x Wild and also a 3x Wild.
Rather than expanding on the previous franchise titles, Hellish 777 distills the thrill of the game into a fiendishly intense package!
With only 3 rows and reels, the game offers 7 paylines, free spins with multipliers, a wheel game, and of course the card and ladder gamble features for players looking for that extra volatility.
Hellish 777 (Höllische 777) is available now in MGA territories, with additional regions following soon. Hölle Games will follow up with their December seasonal release in another couple weeks with Reel Reindeer!
