Gala Coral signed a memorandum of understanding with Playtech which will mean that the British gaming operator will use the technology provided by Playtech.
This will include Playtech’s virtual bingo product, sports betting product and their very popular casino games product. The agreement is will mean that Gala Coral will be offering Playtech’s products on GalaCasino.co.uk, Coral.co.uk and GalaBingo.co.uk.
The agreement between Gala Coral and Playtech is believed to be a software supply deal rather that a full blow joint venture as Playtech entered with fellow British gaming company, William Hill in late 2008.
