EXPEKT BACK WITH MICROGAMING IN ONLINE CASINO DEAL

Online gambling operator Expekt.com has signed a deal for an online casino system equipped with both download and instant games from online gambling software provider Microgaming.

Expekt, which boasts over 1.5 million registered online players, was a member of Microgaming's online poker network four years ago but changed to the Tain network in an amicable parting of the ways. Expekt was acquired by the giant Mangas Internet gambling group earlier this year.

Expekt chief executive Per Widerstrom commented: “The new casino is a very welcome addition to the Expekt.com portfolio. It looks fantastic. It’s great fun to play and there are always huge progressive jackpots available.

“To cater for our international customer base, the casino is available in a range of languages. Players can either download the feature-rich software or simply connect on the fly and enjoy some Flash casino fun."

“It is always an exciting time when Microgaming establishes a major new license agreement as it means we can introduce our technology to new players from different markets around the world,” said Roger Raatgever, Chief Executive Officer for Microgaming.

“We are extremely proud to partner with Expekt.com again as it is truly fantastic that a company with such impressive global reach has chosen us to deliver top-quality entertainment to its customers.”
