Wagerworks believe that branded games catch the online punters eye quicker than non branded ones but point out creating the right game is not just a case of slapping the brand on the front end of the gaming platform.
High quality graphics, execution and a thoroughly enjoyable plating experience are the corner stones of the company’s software development.
Director of the Games studio for Wagerworks Bill Wadleigh explains the process behind choosing the right brand and licence – “A great brand license needs to pass several tests to be a winner. It should be wealth related or have a high sentimental value (ie. Elvis, Cleopatra). Secondly, a great license needs to have enough raw materials to allow for adaption of the brand to a gaming environment. Solid gambling-related mechanics are the key to a successful product. Licenses that contain a balance of variety of game play, moments of great anticipation and the opportunity for reward work best.”
Within the industry Wagerwork’s reputation as an innovative and dependable provider of high quality gaming software is constantly growing. The company is one of a very small number of GamCare accredited companies.
Indeed a number of Wagerworks customer service procedures have been designed to attempt to identify problem gamblers.
Using fraud and transaction monitoring, players with unusual spending patterns can be contacted to ensure the player is aware of their level of activity.
Speaking at the launch of the latest new games to the Wagerworks family Bill Wadleigh said “ The Wagerworks games studio is committed to an exciting development programme in 2007. The seven games launched at ICEi are the first games in that programme. Wagerworks is committed to expanding its offerings significantly this year to include a wider range of proven brands, original content and the best of proven IGT products. Its going to be an exciting year.”
