US-Based High 5 Games Furthers European Market Expansion with Rational Group Content Deal
Prominent New York-based real money and social games developer High 5 Games (H5G), is all poised to expand its European reach via a content deal entered with Amaya’s Rational Group, the division in charge of managing the PokerStars and Full Tilt online poker brands. Rational plans to launch the H5G real money games (RMGs) in the Europe-facing websites of PokerStars and Full Tilt online poker brands during the remaining second half of year 2015.
Through a previous deal entered with NYX Gaming and Gamesys in 2014, a collection of award-winning and widely played slot titles carried by the H5G’s VAULT game server were integrated into the NYX OGS and Gamesys online gaming platform. At that time, H5G was still working toward obtaining a UK-approved licence to operate as a games software provider to UK-licensed online gambling operators. The NYX and Gamesys integration deals saw to the deployment of the H5G high quality contents not only in the UK but also in ten other online casinos operating in different European jurisdictions, with five (5) more Europe-based operators already set to launch the VAULT game offerings any time soon.
The recently forged partnership with Amaya’s Rational Group accordingly caps the company’s widespread entry into the European gambling markets, made possible through the licences issued by the gaming regulators of Alderney, Gibraltar, and the UK. The latest of H5G’s expansion feat was in Spain via Intertain’s Botemania.es in June 2015.
In line with the European expansion initiatives, H5G established a development team based in its London headquarters, and dedicated to creating HTML5 games that the firm intends to deploy for mobile gambling. Regarded as a major thrust for participating in the real money mobile gambling sector, High 5 Games will release the freshly developed mobile contents in the UK and European markets before year 2015 ends.
Accordingly, the highly successful New York games developer is currently paving the way for a much bigger plan of carrying out dual platform title launches on a monthly basis, as a full program by year 2016. Apparently, the U.S. games creator is all set to make H5G a powerhouse from which new and existing mobile gambling operators in the UK and in other European jurisdictions can source, real-money mobile casino game contents.
H5G’s Vault game server first came out in 2014 and has launched H5G’s portfolio of more than 155 high quality gaming products to several online gaming platforms supporting New Jersey’s online casino operators, Caesars, Golden Nugget, Tropicana and Virgin Casinos. According to the H5G website, the NJ launched provided the company the momentum needed to secure a Remote Gaming Licence from Gibraltar. The Gibraltar licence subsequently permitted H5G’sVAULT game server to deploy gaming contents in Europe through partners NYX Gaming and Gamesys.
Some of the most popular slot titles include Dangerous Beauty, Jaguar Princess, Shadow of the Panther, Gypsy and Golden Knight, which is just to mention a few. All VAULT-deployed games are available and accessible in different languages and currencies.
