Finnish national gaming operator RAY has signed a 20-year extension to its online contract with internet gaming software and services giant Playtech.
The two parties first entered into a partnership four years ago, under which Playtech and RAY co-launched the Ray.fi online gaming service.
The website, which includes online casino and poker games, a series of localised RAY-branded exclusive games as well as a live casino studio, launched in August last year.
Playtech has also worked with RAY on a responsible gaming framework, which has been designed to comply with regulations in the country.
The new 20-year deal will cover multi-channel gaming software, content and support across online, mobile and retail with an automatic renewal period of four years.
RAY will also continue to have access to Playtech’s exclusive content, including locally-themed in-house and premium branded titles.
“This is a landmark contract for both companies and we are delighted to have agreed extended terms with such a valued customer,” Playtech chief operating officer Shay Segev said.
“We look forward to continuing to work with the RAY team on what we believe will be a bright and exciting future as well as expanding Playtech’s reach to other lotteries and the B2G market,” added Segev.
Timo Kiiskinen, senior vice-president business operations at RAY, added: “Our four years with Playtech have performed above and beyond expectations.
“This agreement underlines how much we value our relationship and the industry-leading products we continue to have at our disposal.”
