Online gaming software developer Wagerworks has teamed up with Two Way Gaming, the interactive television company, to allow people to access Wagerworks’s popular online gaming brands such as Monopoly, Cluedo and The Price Is Right.  These games are already well established online and bringing them to interactive TV is likely to increase their already significant popularity.

The Managing Director of Two Way Gaming, Guy Templar, commented on this new development by saying, “The Wagerworks system is very flexible and offers huge potential.  In the coming months this deal will see us putting together some exciting new properties for TV.”

Meanwhile, Wagerworks have this week won the award on information portal casinomeister.com for “Best Software of 2007”.  Their games are of consistent high quality.  Therefore, Two Way Gaming have made a smart move in acquiring the Wagerworks games for their interactive TV service.
