Gaming Realms PLC (LON:GMR) has inked a licensing agreement with NetEnt, a premium online gaming group, to gain access to new gaming IP.
It sees the AIM-quoted group add the right to licence NetEnt’s acclaimed slot brand, Starburst, so that it can be combined with its Slingo genre of games.
Slingo Starburst will be available worldwide and will be distributed to the online real money gaming (RMG) market in early 2021.

Andy Whitworth, NetEnt chief commercial officer, added: “To widen the reach of our portfolio and building brand awareness in new markets is a vital part of our strategy.
“Gaming Realms has an extraordinary reach among Slingo fans, especially in the US. We are certain that great games will come out from combining Gaming Realms' expertise, the Slingo grid mechanic and our renowned IP."
