A sports-themed wheel game exclusive to FanDuel Casino’s portfolio
This collaboration will see the integration of Inspired’s Hybrid Dealer content and the development of a sports-themed wheel game explicitly designed for FanDuel online casino players.
The Hybrid Dealer collection is a new category of online gaming content. It combines elements of live casino games and game shows. As the press release emphasizes, Hybrid Dealer will minimize “challenges associated with live-dealer products.”
Inspired’s sports-themed wheel game provides FanDuel players with “a unique and immersive gaming experience” that aligns with the operator’s commitment to delivering engaging content.
Brooks Pierce, president and CEO of Inspired Entertainment said in the news release: “We are excited to partner with FanDuel and introduce our Hybrid Dealer suite to their platform.
This collaboration not only expands FanDuel’s gaming offerings but also showcases the versatility and appeal of our Hybrid Dealer technology.”
Inspired has made many moves in the US online casino market
Inspired and FanDuel have expanded their partnerships to four out of seven legal US online casino states. The two companies have already teamed up to work together in:
- New Jersey
- Pennsylvania
- Michigan
- Connecticut
Expanding into Connecticut with FanDuel didn’t come as a surprise. Inspired has been active in the online sports market lately and recently formed partnerships with several leading US providers.
Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers also tapped into Inspired‘s content to offer virtual sports games in New Jersey in May.
Inspired joined forces with bet365 in June to provide fresh online casino games in Pennsylvania. Quickly after bet365 Casino launched in Keystone State, it wanted to offer its players a more diverse assortment of online casino games.
Inspired announced bringing its virtual sports portfolio to Scientific Games’ online lottery players in August.
With operations in approximately 35 jurisdictions worldwide, Inspired’s gaming, virtual sports, interactive, and leisure products appeal to differing players. And content versatility creates new opportunities for operators to attract a bigger audience.
