Inspired, Franco Sign Platform Deal

Inspired Gaming has signed an exclusive agreement with Spanish slot manufacturer R. Franco to supply Franco its Open SBG technology platform.

London-based server-based gaming and VLT supplier Inspired Gaming Group has signed an exclusive agreement with Madrid-based slot manufacturer R. Franco under which Inspired will supply its Open SBG Core technology platform and games in Spain.

The deal will allow R. Franco and Inspired to create server-based VLT gaming machines for the Spanish market by combining Inspired’s technology, R. Franco’s cabinets, and a rich library of games from both companies. The early results of the collaboration were recently displayed on the Inspired and R. Franco stands at the ICE Totally Gaming trade show in London. 

“Inspired is renowned for its proven server-based technology, and has years of experience in highly regulated and competitive markets such as the U.K. and Italy,” said Jesús Franco, chairman of R. Franco Group. “We’re delighted to be uniting this industry-leading technology with R. Franco’s leading cabinets, games and experience in the Spanish market.”

Luke Alvarez, CEO and founder of Inspired, added, “R. Franco is the ideal partner for Inspired’s growth into the Spanish market, and we believe that server-based, multi-game products will modernize the landscape of machine gaming in Spain. Inspired is driving the adoption of well-regulated, networked gaming machines in Europe and further afield, as a way for government agencies to provide player entertainment while ensuring tax collection, crime reduction and player protection.”
