GiG and Ontario Operators Revolutionize iGaming with 'Casino Time' Launch

GiG and Ontario Operators Shake Up iGaming with Unique 'Casino Time' Launch

The Canadian iGaming market is about to experience a seismic shift, as Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), a leading technology and service provider, joins forces with a consortium of top Ontario operators to unveil the highly anticipated 'Casino Time' platform. This groundbreaking joint venture, owned and regulated by the Alcohol Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), promises to deliver an unprecedented online gaming experience to players across the province.

Leveraging GiG's award-winning iGaming platform and pioneering LogicX mechanics, Casino Time is poised to revolutionize the Ontario market. The platform's robust suite of tools and features will empower operators to realize their ambitious growth objectives, providing a solid foundation for future expansion into innovative sports wagering solutions and further solidifying GiG's reputation as a trusted partner in regulated markets.

The launch of Casino Time represents a significant milestone, marking the second time regulated online bingo operations have been made available to Ontario's gaming community. In addition to the ever-popular bingo offering, GiG's comprehensive scope of supply includes its highly scalable iGaming platform and the forthcoming SportX online wagering experience – a testament to the company's commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions.

At the core of GiG's offering is its award-winning iGaming platform, a revenue-driving powerhouse designed to provide operators with a continuous stream of growth opportunities. Leveraging a diverse array of content from leading casino and slot game providers, the platform ensures Ontario players have access to the latest software developments, tailored to regional preferences and catering to even the most discerning tastes.

The strategic partnership between GiG and Casino Time is poised to unlock significant benefits, particularly as Ontario emerges as one of North America's largest and fastest-growing iGaming markets. According to Vixio, the province has experienced exponential growth since the legalization of online gaming in 2022, rapidly ascending to become the second-largest market in the region, trailing only New Jersey.

This rapid expansion is reflected in the staggering revenue figures reported by iGaming Ontario, a partner in the Casino Time venture. In 2022 alone, over 1.6 million player accounts placed wagers with more than 40 operators, generating an impressive €1.3 billion in gross gaming revenue – a clear testament to the immense potential of the Ontario market.

Andrew Cochrane, Chief Business Officer of GiG, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating: "GiG continues to set the pace with a strong cadence of brand launches in 2024, and I'm pleased that when operators are seeking platform solutions in regulated markets, GiG is leading the pack. Our partnership with Casino Time will help deliver something new and exciting to the Ontarian market and further helps to demonstrate the flexibility of our solutions, adapting to match the regional aspirations of our partners to deliver growth."

D'Arcy Stuart, CEO of Casino Time, echoed Cochrane's sentiments, adding: "We are thrilled to partner with GiG as the core technology provider of our iGaming platform. Their powerful suite of player engagement tools, as well as diverse content and regulatory integrations, underpin our ability to serve and delight our player community. Our hybrid online and offline customer network, as well as unique bingo offerings, will drive exciting opportunities as the platform and the marketplace continue to grow."

With GiG's cutting-edge technology and Casino Time's deep roots in the Ontario gaming community, this partnership is poised to set a new standard for iGaming experiences in the province, ushering in a new era of innovation and player engagement.
