The West Virginia Lottery Commission handed out three online casino licenses during its monthly meeting earlier this week. Those companies are:
- PT Services
- Jumio Services Corporation
- Radar Labs
All three are going to assist the gambling market in the Mountain State in some capacity. WV online casinos will benefit from PT Services.
West Virginia live dealer games get boost with PT Services
The online casino market in West Virginia has been setting records left and right. The state just posted a new best for the third time in four months in January, producing $16.4 million.
While slots are always a popular vertical in the Mountain State, live dealer games are also extremely well-liked. Many platforms offer Evolution Gaming’s live dealer titles. It now looks like Playtech is throwing its hat in the ring, too.
PT Services is part of Playtech, which is an online gaming software supplier that powers live dealer games. PT Services does the following to help Playtech’s live dealer vertical:
- Broadcasts live dealer games in premium HD quality
- Offers the fastest streaming and highest up-time in the market
While playing through Playtech’s live dealer games, PT Services is the reason why the image is so clear and the games move in real-time, right with the live dealer.
PT Services is an example of behind-the-scenes work that is instrumental in the Mountain State breaking multiple online casino revenue records over the past several months.
Look for Playtech to start knocking on the door in the West Virginia live dealer market.
