SkillOnNet Signs Deal to Power Slingo.com

SkillOnNet has signed an exclusive agreement to power and license Slingo.com. Under the terms of the deal with Slingo-parent Gaming Realms, Slingo will significantly expand its global footprint through access to new markets.
The deal will give the site’s players access to over 3000 additional games from some of the world’s top developers. Slingo will be marketed on the SkillOnNet Network by veteran operator Prime Gaming, which owns top brands like MegaCasino.com and ICE36.com.
The deal represents a major new chapter in the Slingo story. The site will continue to offer its much-loved Slingo-style games, while providing its players a huge expansion of choice from the SkillOnNet portfolio.
“With the coming together of SkillOnNet, Slingo and Prime Gaming, it feels like we’re putting together an online gaming supergroup. The level of industry experience among these three companies is pretty amazing, and I know together we will build something quite special,” Michael Golembo from SkillOnNet said.
“Slingo has a large and loyal player base and we want to assure those players we won’t be messing with their favourite games, but we will be working hard to offer them a more vibrant and vital gaming experience,” Michael Golembo said.
“SkillOnNet is behind some of the most successful online casino brands in the world and we wanted to leverage its technology and experience to drive Slingo.com forwards. Through SkillOnNet’s platform and licences we know we can operate in new markets around the world with utmost compliance. This marks the start of a new chapter for Slingo.com, one that we believe will be a great success for the brand,” Mark Segal, CFO of Gaming Realms, said.
