International Game Technology’s United Kingdom division, called IGT-UK, and WagerWorks, a subsidiary of IGT, have announced the integration of WagerWorks into IGT-UK Gaming.
IGT-UK Gaming will be responsible for managing and developing the WagerWorks online gaming business in the United Kingdom and Europe.
"As our respective customer bases and technologies are increasingly converging, the integration of the U.K. division of WagerWorks into IGT-UK Gaming is a natural next step,” said Robert White, managing director of IGT-UK. “This is consistent with our strategy of developing new markets and new routes to market for IGT-UK's market-leading game content and systems, and builds on the recent acquisitions of Cyberview and Million-2-1.”
Additionally, Oliver Lofthouse has been appointed as director and general manager of the recently integrated business. Previously, Mr. Oliver was a director at Mars Snackfoods.
