GTECH powers new Ontario Lottery and Gaming Internet site, PlayOLG

PROVIDENCE – Ontario Lottery and Gaming has launched its new Internet gaming site, PlayOLG.ca, which is driven by GTECH interactive technology, content and services.
OLG’s Internet gaming site offers casino games including slots and table games such as blackjack, baccarat, single-player poker and roulette, as well as the sale of lottery tickets.
As OLG’s primary service provider for PlayOLG, GTECH is providing its product portfolio, player services and its player account management system to OLG via its gaming-management system.
GTECH’s gaming management system also provides operators with responsible gambling features.

“GTECH’s solution supports OLG’s plan to become a more innovative and sustainable organization, while continuing to be a North American leader in responsible gambling,” said Matteo Monteverdi, GTECH senior vice president, North America Interactive and SVP, iGaming, said in a statement.
With PlayOLG’s launch, OLG joins seven other Canadian provinces in offering provincially regulated Internet gaming.

“GTECH’s solution provides a safe, secure, regulated and entertaining Internet gaming option in Ontario, with profits supporting initiatives like health care and community infrastructure for the benefit of all Ontarians,” John Wisternoff, vice president of iGaming at OLG, said.

Canadian law requires all gaming operations to be conducted and managed by provincial governments or their agencies, making PlayOLG the only option for Internet gaming regulated by the government of Ontario.

Four years ago, GTECH launched the first and only legal poker network in North America, the Canadian Poker Network through an agreement with the British Columbia Lottery Corp. and Loto-Québec. Players in Manitoba have been able to play in the network since January 2013. Last June, GTECH, Loto-Québec and BCLC launched North America’s first government-regulated interactive bingo network, offering GTECH games to adult residents of British Columbia, Manitoba and Québec.
