BGT to Sell 650 Terminals to Betfred

Betfred has agreed to buy an additional 650 wide-screen Novomatic terminals and sports-book software for its betting shops from Best Gaming Technology.

Supplier Best Gaming Technology (BGT) announced that it has signed an agreement to provide an additional 650 wide-screen Novomatic player terminals, along with its leading sports-book software, to British bookmaker Betfred.

“Following our acquisition of the Coral/Ladbrokes shops, we wanted to ensure that our customers received the best possible product and service,” said Mark Stebbings, managing director of Betfred Retail. “To this extent I am very happy to confirm that we are extending our deployment of the BGT product across all of our new estate, and will have an SSBT estate of over 2,000 machines.

“Furthermore, we wanted to ensure our customer proposition was always relevant and current. To that extent, extending our widescreen Novomatic terminals estate will give us a genuine point of differentiation in relation to hardware and content provision. Align this with BGT’s ability to constantly evolve their product proposition, it was an easy decision to make.”

BGT U.K. Managing Director John Pettit added, “We are delighted that Betfred has decided to extend their relationship with BGT with the deployment of our product across all of their new shop estate. It underlines the importance and appeal to customers of our product in a betting shop. This will also deliver a significant SSBT footprint across Betfred’s estate and underlines the importance of the partnership as we move forward.”
