Successful collaboration with Endemol Shine Gaming continues with Live variants on game show hits as second deal is signed.
Playtech has extended its partnership with Endemol Shine Gaming, part of global content creator, producer and distributor Endemol Shine Group, by signing a deal to leverage some of its most popular quiz brands – Deal or No Deal, Money Drop and The £100K Drop – within Playtech’s fast growing Live Casino vertical.
One of the most successful gameshow formats of the 21st Century, Deal or No Deal has proved a major hit as a Bingo brand as well as on TV, with Playtech’s exclusive Bingo room one of the company’s long-term top performers.
Based on the hit daytime show fronted by Davina McCall, the £100K Drop is a new brand for Playtech, with games set to launch across Live Casino as part of the Live Game Show offering. Playtech are working with Endemol Shine Gaming to create a brand new, exciting game concept for the live gaming market – with the format of £100k Drop and Money Drop centring around a potential “all or nothing” scenario, it is an ideal candidate to translate into engaging live stream play.
