ASTRA taps into the Orbis OpenBet platform and customer base
Jan 28th, 2009 (PRESS RELEASE) - Following the recent launch of the NRGS, Novomatic’s remote gaming system for the online gaming community, Astra have announced an agreement to cooperate with Orbis, the world's leading provider of interactive online gaming and betting platform solutions. The intent of the deal is to make available Novomatic’s and Astra’s illustrious game library to leading online brands through the Orbis OpenBet system.
The marrying of Novomatic's and Astra's prestigious game portfolio with Orbis, one of the most trusted brands in online gaming platform solutions, facilitates the first significant move for the NRGS into the wider online gaming market.
Astra Managing Director Zane Mersich is extremely positive about the opportunities afforded by this new partnership:
"With the pedigree of game themes available in both Novomatic's and Astra's outstanding library it was critical that we formed a partnership with a provider that promoted the qualities and standards essential in delivering the games in a form that meets with the high expectations players have of Novomatic products. Orbis’ OpenBet will allow this content to reach a much wider audience, realizing the online commercial potential of the NRGS."
The NRGS is a turnkey solution that delivers content with an instant and seamless integration on a robust and stable medium that permits a smooth, uninterrupted gaming experience. Initial games include some of the most celebrated themes, notably Reel King TM; Golden Sevens TM; Bullion Bars ™; plus other game titles from the Astra/Novomatic portfolio.
Further highly renowned games are planned for future release on Orbis OpenBet, meaning a continuous stream of top end game themes will constantly refresh and invigorate the NRGS offering:
David Loveday, CEO at Orbis, commented:
"The NRGS system is able, for the first time, to introduce Novomatic’s and Astra’s highly renowned game themes to OpenBet and the Orbis customer base. The success of the games from the land based gaming arena will undoubtedly be mirrored in the online world.”
