Gaming Corps has signed a major platform agreement with Microgame

Gaming Corps a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has signed a major platform agreement with Microgame, leading service provider in the Italian online gaming sector.

Microgame has played a significant role in the evolution of Italy’s online gaming sector, combining deep market knowledge with a platform model designed for the country’s multi-channel structure. Its network supports direct and land-based affiliation channels, while its product approach has consistently focused on flexibility, customised delivery and technology-led innovation.

The partnership also lands at an important point in Gaming Corps’ release calendar, with a major summer of sport fast approaching and football-themed casino content moving higher up the agenda for operators. Microgame partners will be able to bring in games from the studio’s growing football range, including titles from the hugely popular Penalty Champion series, alongside new releases Goals to Glory: Football Fever and Goals to Glory: Instant Blitz.

Gaming Corps’ 3 Pigs franchise will also form part of the roll-out, including the highly anticipated 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog, launching later this month. The sequel returns players to Olympus, where Zeus, Hades and Poseidon are joined by a formidable new force in the DemiHog.

Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “This is a landmark deal for Gaming Corps in Italy and a launchpad for our next stage of growth in one of Europe’s largest regulated markets. Microgame is the market-leading service provider in Italy’s online gaming industry, offering extensive expertise, innovative solutions and broad access to licensed operators and brands throughout the country”.

“We already have deep rooted experience in Italy, but this agreement moves us into a different position. With a sharper content roadmap and the ability to respond nimbly to ever-evolving market trends, we see a real opportunity to build market share, grow our profile and deliver fantastic entertainment to players through Microgame.”

Alessia Paiano, Key Account Manager at Gaming Corps, said: “This is an incredibly exciting moment for us in Italy. Microgame gives Gaming Corps access to a wide and highly influential operator base, but the real opportunity now is to build strong, collaborative relationships with those partners.

“My focus will be on working closely with Italian operators, visiting teams across the country, understanding what they need from us and making sure we deliver content, support and service that helps them achieve their goals.

“We want Gaming Corps to become a vendor of choice in Italy, and that will come from being visible, responsive and genuinely easy to work with. We are ready to get started, meet our partners face to face and bring plenty of energy, commitment and friendly smiles to the market. - Siamo pronti e operativi: il viaggio è appena iniziato.”

Francesco Cuzzupoli, Gaming and Sales Director at Microgame, said: “Italy is a highly competitive market, and operators need content that can earn attention quickly. Gaming Corps brings a portfolio with sharp personality and a creative range that can help brands keep their casino offering original.

“What appealed to us was not only the breadth of content, but the way Gaming Corps is building recognisable formats and game families with real campaign potential. That gives operators more freedom to shape their promotions, refresh their lobbies and respond to key moments in the entertainment calendar.”
