Svenska Spel chooses Boss Media as supplier again
2004-04-15 15:50

Boss Media has been contracted by Svenska Spel to develop more gaming products for its Internet gaming center. In autumn 2003, Svenska Spel launched the popular scratch card games knowned in Sweden as Triss, Tia, Skrap-Bingo and Skrap-Pyramid, along with three new bingo games. The scratch card games Dubbel-Triss, Tia med Stjärnvinst, Skrap-Labyrinten and a gaming engine that creates options for completely new types of game will now also be added to the range available at www.svenskaspel.se. Anyone who holds a gaming card issued by Svenska Spel is allowed to play. The gaming card is free and all Swedish citizens over the age of 18 with a permanent address in Sweden can apply for one.

With the new contract, Boss Media will be increasing its range of lottery games for its modular gaming platform. All the games are developed in Flash, which means that players can play directly online without having to download any software. The new games are being developed in close cooperation with Svenska Spel.

Boss Media's gaming platform has an open and modular architecture which means it can easily be adapted to customers' requirements, new games can be added and the platform can be integrated into the customer's existing system. The games have been developed to comply with the security standards set by the World Lottery Association (www.world-lotteries.org).

'We are very pleased that Svenska Spel has placed its trust in us once again, and we look forward to fruitful cooperation. In its cooperation with Svenska Spel, Boss Media has established itself on a new market consisting of the state-owned gaming companies. The channel and the product mix fit together 'hand in glove' for these companies with their strong brands and large customer bases,' says Robert Skogh, Sales & Marketing Manager at Boss Media.

'Offering familiar and well-established scratch card games in digital format over the Internet has proven to be a very successful concept and we see the new games as a natural extension of our range of online gaming options,' says Mikael Franzén, head of Direct Channels at Svenska Spel.

AB Svenska Spel, Scandinavia's largest gaming and lottery company, has chosen Boss Media as its supplier on two previous occasions, firstly to develop Svenska Spel's Internet casino, www.casinocosmopol.se, where players from all over the country have been able to try out various casino games since May 2001 and secondly to develop the very popular lottery games which was launched in October 2003.

Norsk Tipping's new generation Interactive Video Lottery Terminals from EssNet Interactive now in live operation
2004-08-27 12:37

Today, Norsk Tipping's new, state-of-the-art on-line Interactive Video Lottery Terminal (IVT) system started commercial operation with the first EssNet Interactive terminals installed in Oslo. An extensive rollout program of the 10,000 terminals ordered has now commenced, where the majority of the installations will be made next year. The project is planned to be finalised by August 2006. The system is based on PC technology with real-time monitoring, linked jackpots and fast down-loads of new games.

In Norway, the awareness of social responsibility towards the players is very high. Norsk Tipping, the national lottery in Norway who has the exclusive right to operate Interactive Video Lottery terminals, is now introducing a system with the means and measures to help players play responsibly. The system delivered by EssNet Interactive can, among other unique features, identify players, track spending and set usage and spending limits. The new terminals will be installed in restaurants, kiosks, bingo halls and other places where the 18-year age limit can be controlled.

The network of more than 10,000 IVTs, including 2,500 store-owners' terminals for local monitoring of the IVTs, will be connected to a central system at Norsk Tipping's head office in Hamar. Since the games are operated and managed centrally, the system offers outstanding control and the possibility to configure and exchange the games from the central.

"This is a challenge never before experienced by Norsk Tipping," says Jan P. Strømslid, Director of the Multispill Division at Norsk Tipping. "We are launching a unique and completely new solution, specially developed for the Norwegian market and our extremely high demands."

"The contract with Norsk Tipping was signed nine months ago, and I am very proud that we have delivered the first phase of this big project according to the agreed time schedule," says Jan Bohult, Managing Director of EssNet Interactive. "Norsk Tipping is an innovative, demanding customer, and our fruitful cooperation has been crucial for the success."
