Boss Media and Svenska Spell formalize partnership
June 3, 2005
Swedish online gaming companies Boss
Media and Svenska Spel have formalized their strategic partnership
after several years of collaboration on a number of digital gaming
projects.
The announcement notes that interest for digital games has increased
dramatically, and the two companies have consequently decided to
leverage the experience that they have acquired. Boss Media has
been responsible for technical and platform development and Svenska
Spel has developed game concepts and handled daily operational matters.
Svenska Spel is selling its expertise and Boss Media's technical
platform to members of the World Lottery Association with a focus
on Europe. Currently the WLA has about 140 members, of which there
are some 60 in Europe that are potential customers.
"We see this as a significant opportunity to strengthen
the regulated gaming market," said Jan Stocklassa, manager
of international business matters at Svenska Spel. "If
more companies within the WLA sphere increase their level of technical
competence and improve their product offering, they will have significantly
better ability to withstand competition from Internet companies
and other competitors."
