Stephen Calogero, VP and Deputy General Counsel, Global Gaming and Intellectual Property at IGT, added: “We are pleased to add EveryMatrix as a member of the game features licensing program which has fostered unprecedented innovation for game mechanics across the industry”.
This new deal follows other recent major announcements by EveryMatrix. In March, the company further strengthened its market position in the gaming development vertical through a new investment in the up-and-coming studio Jelly, a move that also integrates the studio's titles into its SlotMatrix platform.
And last month, the business launched its new jackpot management system JackpotEngine, a gamification solution that offers "a comprehensive set of configurations that enables operators to manage complex jackpots."
