Premium casino content developer Red Rake Gaming is delighted to announce its latest regulated market license for Romania.

The company has been granted a Class II license by the Romanian regulator (ONJN) allowing it to work directly with the country’s regulated operators. Red Rake Gaming made the move due to the demand from its partners in response to the player demand for Red Rake’s top performing game content within the market.

A selection of Red Rake’s top performing games will be made available to Romania licensed operators, including its record breaking Super 15 Stars – the non-stop, action-packed slot which combines feature games and bonus rounds from all its predecessors in the Super series of games and the new game of this series, Super 20 Stars. Additional titles from Red Rake’s diverse portfolio includes Alchemy Ways- giving players a million ways to win, Max Dangerous and the Lost Relics, Tommy Gun’s Vendetta and Flamingo Paradise.  All of which continue to be top performing titles across Red Rake’s network.

Red Rake Gaming plans to launch a wider selection of content in the Romanian market throughout the 2021 period.

Continuous delivery and expansion into regulated markets is at the heart of Red Rake Gaming’s growth strategy. Their latest market entry represents yet another opportunity for the company to further its reach in Romania and follows on from recent market entry in Greece.

Nick Barr, Managing Director for Red Rake Malta, commented: “We are thrilled to have obtained our Class II Romanian license. This recent acquisition is driven by our commitment to our clients to continue to deliver our top performing content to the Romanian players which has always proved to be very popular. The Red Rake Gaming content resonates well with players delivering classic looking slots packed with strong feature and bonus games.”
