Vancouver-based Playgon Games Inc. has received Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) Certification in accordance with Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario technical requirements.
This GLI certification, along with a previous one for the company’s Las Vegas studio, positions Playgon for a commercial launch for their mobile live dealer, e-table games, and daily fantasy technology into the growing Ontario igaming market.
“We have a number of commitments to take our VegasLounge live-dealer offering into Ontario and this GLI certification was the last step prior to the launch in this market. Casino gaming represents over 70% of wagering and revenues in Ontario, so this gaming jurisdiction is absolutely a key market for us,” said Darcy Krogh, CEO of Playgon Games Inc., in a statement.
The numbers bear out Krogh’s statement. Last week, iGaming Ontario released Q3 financial performance data for the regulated market, coming up on its two-year anniversary in April. Total wagers in the province were $17.2 billion, a 21 percent increase over Q2 (does not include promotional wagers). Total gaming revenue was $658 million, a 22 percent increase over Q2.
Casino games – slots, live and computer-based table games, and peer-to-peer bingo – generated nearly $13.7 billion (79 percent) of total wagers, and $471 million (71 percent) of gaming revenue.
Playgon is an SaaS tech company that allows online operators the ability to offer their customer base innovative igaming software solutions, turn-key gaming solutions for online casinos, sportsbook operators, and land-based operators.
