WagerWorks: Growth in online casinos exists; this firm proves it

When the dust had settled and the merger was complete, in August 2005, WagerWorks became an independent entity, founded and managed by key members of Silicon Gaming's management team, and benefiting from their wide experience in casino operations, loyalty marketing, game development and regulatory compliance.

WagerWorks currently has an enviable position under the umbrella of International Game Technology because this gives it access to IGT’s large stable of licensed television and movie brand video slot/fruit machines. This impressive line-up attracts many a player with its attractive array of classic names in entertainment, such as The Beverley Hillbillies, I Love Lucy, The Munsters, The Addams Family, Wheel Of Fortune, The Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, American Bandstand, Sale Of The Century and Wheel Of Fortune.

International Game Technology is based in Reno, Nevada, and makes slot machines and other gaming products. It also operates out of Las Vegas, has branch offices around the United States, plus offices in the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Africa. A presence is maintained in South America to facilitate operations in Latin America.

Following the management team, the lead designers at Silicon Gaming formed a dynamic team comprising graphic artists, computer animators, producers, Flash game gurus and math modelers. WagerWorks recognised the large potential of legalised online gaming and set out to develop leading solutions. There are many internet gaming developers but WagerWorks is the only company with deep roots in the traditional land-based casino business. This wealth of knowledge and experience gave the company considerable credibility as it began delivering proven land-based content online, and WagerWorks has had great benefit from its access to IGT's content and intellectual property portfolio, extensive business partnerships and experienced management team, further enhancing its product offering and market presence.
