Online Gambling Technology
Seattle, Washington now lays claim to being the most innovative
when it comes to creating new casino games. This is a billion dollar
industry and these slot machine technology companies have opened
up shop in Seattle.
With so many states looking to regulate online gambling, the focus
now is on the companies that can deliver the technology required
to ensure fair play and exciting games for internet players. Over
the past year the spot light has grown for technology companies
such as DoubleDown Interactive, who is now a major player in the
Internet gambling industry. This company has partnered with Las
Vegas based International Game Technology a deal worth $500 million.
DoubleDown will receive $250 million up front and the remainder
when product and demand reaches the desired goals.
Due to Nevada passing legislation regulating online casinos other
state like Florida, Delaware, Iowa, Hawaii, California and Maryland
are also now discussing regulating online gambling.
DoubleDown needed the financial backing that (IGT) provided in
order to continue to advance online gambling technology. IGT is
looking forward to this partnership and it will become a long term
deal.
Not only does DoubleDown develop general online casino games, they
have moved to developing more local based designs. The local design
assures that people in different states will be playing different
slot games. Each game will be individualized for a specific area.
With the partnership of IGT, DoubleDown and Seattle will be reaping
the benefits from the online gaming explosion. Online Gambling is
going to be very big business and Seattle is looking forward to
their very bright future.
