Gaming products designer and manufacturer International Game Technology (IGT) has extended its long-term collaboration with casino games firm Action Gaming to continue the joint development of multi-hand video poker games for land-based and online play.
Under the deal, IGT has purchased patents from Action Gaming, which are currently utilised in IGT games such as All-Star Poker, Ultimate X Poker and Hyper Bonus Poker.
These patents are also being used in the creation of new video poker themes.
“This new agreement propels our creation and development of best-in-class content for casinos, for wager online, and in the social environment for IGT’s DoubleDown Casino,” IGT’s vice-president of game development and global product management, Joe Sigrist, said.
Ernie Moody, owner of Action Gaming, added: “We are confident that the sale of these patents to IGT will ensure its leadership of the video poker market for the foreseeable future.”
