Funworld presented itself for the first time as a multiple product company in Italy at the Rimini trade fair with new products and a fresh market presence. Funworld’s cooperation with Microgame in the skill games sector was also introduced.
Although the key Photo Play brand continues to attract significant interest, the two new product brands, “BET-solutions” and “fun|select”, were also very well received at the show. BET-solutions offers the complete infrastructure for sports betting and fun|select introduces a choice of commercial products with proven game concepts. Above all the simple and attention-grabbing skill game “Stacker” from the fun|select product unit enthused visitors to the trade show. “How well our new business divisions were received on the Italian market confirms once more to us that the step from a single to a multiple product company was the right one. With the new, innovative products we are able to further expand our pioneering role and accelerate our ambitious expansion plans more intensively,” said Josef Öhlinger, funworld ag Chief Executive Officer. The presentation of the cooperation between funworld and Microgame, a leading provider of online games in Italy, was particular cause for enthusiasm. Through the creation of effective synergies in the skill games sector it is possible for the first time to transfer game content from an Internet platform to Photo Play terminals and vice versa. This makes the collaboration of the two most important players in the Italian market unique, which will have a sustainable impact on the entire industry. “We are very satisfied with our trade show presence, as our expectations were by far exceeded. We are particularly delighted about the major interest in the cooperation with Microgame and about the new skill games project. The first major customers have already made enquiries regarding exclusive distribution in their regions, which shows us we can anticipate the cooperation to be a great success,” said Andrea Scampini, General Manager of funworld italy srl..
