SegaCasino.com & SegaPoker.com Become Real

What was rumored was confirmed as true Thursday when Playtech and SegaGaming confirmed an agreement to provide services together.

Though those within the gaming world were aware that the agreement was nearly firm, it wasn’t until this week that both companies confirmed the agreement. Playtech said it will provide an array of online gaming products within Sega’s SEGAPoker.com and SEGACasino.com gambling platforms.

SegaGaming also reached an agreement with CTXM Thursday to receive that company’s games to use on its SegaGaming sites.

The Playtech agreement includes a full suite of online casino and poker games. The games will be developed and designed by Sega’s research and development team and a team of designers from Playtech.

A spokesperson for SegaGames Ltd., said that the agreement will give gamers gaming experiences unique from those they might have had before.

“Playtech solutions along with our proprietary SEGAPass technology offers us the opportunity to provide an innovative, new online gaming experience to our players and deliver the SEGA experience to people in the same manner that they have enjoyed for decades,” the spokesperson said.

The agreement should help to make SegaPoker.com competitive with many of the large online poker rooms. The new software will create real-time poker rooms with tournament play and head-to-head action. As many as 35,000 players will be able to play at a time.

“With our integrated platform and enhanced games suite, we feel that we’ve given SegaGames the tools to expand their product offering, provide a secure and safe gaming experience, and ultimately bring greater value to the Sega community,” said Mor Weizer, CEO of Playtech.
