Inspired Gaming International (Inspired), part of Inspired Gaming Group, yesterday announced its first shared-revenue partnership deal where it will invest in the total development of the “Club 19” resort in South-East Asia, and share all revenues in the venue (not just machine incomes) with its partner, Silver Heritage Limited (SHL). As part of the deal, Inspired will provide Club 19 with its range of Open SBG terminals. Inspired and SHL will also jointly be responsible for the non-gaming entertainment, as well as the design, development and operation of what will be a world class entertainment venue. This breakthrough deal will be the first time that Inspired not only supplies its Open SBG system, but will also be involved in the complete resort development.
Inspired’s multi-content Open SBG terminals will offer Club 19 customers a variety of casino games, including Electronic Roulette, Virtual Sports, Electronic Card Games and Slots, all on one terminal. Inspired and SHL currently supply terminals to Club 19’s sister venue, which generates some of the highest incomes in Asia, and this 10 year deal looks set to produce similar returns.
Together, Inspired and SHL have designed Club 19 as a comprehensive entertainment venue; situated in a luxury golf, entertainment and leisure resort, Club 19 will also offer a host of non-gaming entertainment from floorshows to sushi chefs. As part of the deal, Inspired and SHL will share the revenues of all entertainment income.
Norman Crowley, Co-CEO at Inspired, commented: “Sharing in the revenue of all entertainment products at Club 19 represents a significant opportunity for Inspired. This 10 year contract forms part of our long-term, international strategy to transform the landscape of the Asian casino market.”
“As the fastest growing operator of slots and sports bars in licensed gaming premises in the Asia-Pacific region, this deal represents a significant step forward for SHL”, said Mike Bolsover, CEO of SHL. He added: “We are excited about partnering with Inspired once more and believe that Club 19 will soon be generating some of the highest incomes in Asia.”
