This week PokerTek Inc. and Aristocrat Technologies Ltd. announced an extension of their worldwide distribution agreement.
The agreement gives Aristocrat exclusive rights to distribute PokerTek’s PokerPro products outside of North America for 10 years, PokerTek said.
According to the company, during the first three years of the relationship, Aristocrat placed nearly 100 PokerPro tables worldwide including installations in Australia, Bulgaria, Panama, Hungary and Malaysia. Aristocrat also serves as a distributor for another PokerTek game, Heads-Up Challenge.
“Aristocrat has been a good ally for PokerTek on several levels,” said Chris Halligan, PokerTek’s chief executive, in a prepared statement. “Not only have they performed well in growing PokerPro's international market share, they've been an excellent business partner.”
