Nektan seals Rising Entertainment content distribution deal

Global platform provider integrates Japanese developer’s games via its RGS

Nektan PLC (AIM: NKTN), an international B2B and white label gaming software and services provider, has reached an agreement to distribute games content from independent Japanese games company, Rising Entertainment Co. Ltd.

As part of the deal, twelve of Rising Entertainment’s games including the highly-anticipated Rank up Dragon have been made available to Nektan’s growing network of B2B operator partners and to more than 145 of its global white label casinos, via its Gibraltar-based remote gaming servicer (RGS).

In collaboration, the company will convert its popular land-based games into HTML5 mobile releases. The addition of the twelve games into Nektan’s ever-growing premium games portfolio further diversifies the global platform provider’s content offering to meet a wide variety of player tastes and preferences, thereby enriching their gaming experience. Nektan currently has more than 700 premium games available on its white label casino platform, Evolve, and 536 games on its content distribution platform, E-Lite, from the world’s leading content developers.

Nektan is committed to helping independent games studios certify, integrate and distribute their cutting-edge gaming content through its RGS. The company provides technical support and ongoing regulatory reporting to simplify the process and the route to commercial success within the igaming industry.

Jaydeep Chakravartty, Vice President of Commercials at Nektan, said: “Partnering with Rising Entertainment is a significant step in our ambition to offer the widest and most diverse games portfolio in the industry. This will greatly benefit our operator partners who will in turn meet the ever-evolving demands of their varied player audiences.

“We’ve been very impressed with the content Rising Entertainment develops which fits perfectly into our strategy of delivering the highest quality HTML5 games across all mobile devices.”

Henry Pentecost at Rising Entertainment, said: “Working alongside Nektan made strategic sense for us. Not only will they expand our global reach but assist in building upon on our commercial momentum. Integrating our games on Nektan’s platforms was quick and simple through its RGS.
