Portomasogaming has launched a new digital platform for its live Casino and studio, which are now combined into one product, following an investment of €500,000. The investment saw the creation of 25 job opportunities.

The new platform, which offers a complete bonus system, a new studio roulette with interactive background, high definition streaming and a dynamic games lobby, was unveiled by the directors of Portomasogaming in the presence of the Economic Growth Parliamentary Secretary José Herrera.

Portomasogaming invested in the new platform to reach a wider audience and to tap into the mobile games sector, a relatively new area of entertainment in the gaming industry.

The new platform was produced by a team of 30 programmers, 15 graphic designers and a host of musicians.

Parliamentary Secretary José Herrera said that this investment augured well for the efforts made by the present government and the private industry to make Malta a gaming hub. Malta’s success as a gaming hub was attributable to a number of factors among them the reputable jurisdiction the country enjoyed.

“Our efforts will continue to strengthen Malta’s potential in this industry. We believe that with the advent of Gaming Malta and the Gaming Academy, this potential will increase further,” he said.

Portomasogaming started operating in the remote gaming business seven years ago and was the first to offer two live games from the Portomaso Casino.

At the time, players could play Roulette and Punto Banco against the dealer and live casino players. In 2010, Portomasogaming started to produce RNG games and added 12 new games. 

Work on the new casino platform started in 2012 with the first development being a blackjack studio that added an interactive element to the game.

Since then the offer increased to include live casino roulette, live studio roulette, automatic roulette, live studio blackjack, 60 RNG games and Punto Banco.
