What is being said?
As 4ThePlayer.com are currently submitting their US licence application, they have started speaking to US operators. Porter believes the online market has been ‘held back’ due to the regulations: “The focus in the casino and the land-based market is quite different because it is very much a tourist-based market where you are trying to grab people who come there for more of a tourist experience and try to get them playing slots with big flashy features and big cabernets and so on.
“Whereas in the online space, you’re delivering something to players who actually enjoy the gambling experience and enjoy different things.
“I think good content works everywhere, and certainly from my days as Content Director in PlayTech, you can see a good game in a certain market will work in pretty much all markets.”
