What do you get when you cross one of the world's biggest lottery businesses with one of the leading developers in the game making industry? The short answer is: Spielo. To elaborate further, this gaming brand is the product of a recent merger between two behemoths in the gambling industry – the Italian lottery operator GTECH and the huge scale games development company that is American based IGT.

As such, Spielo is perfectly poised to present a full range of gaming products across the market – from slot machines for land based casinos to AWP style bar games, not to mention a variety of Keno and Poker machines. What's more, IGT's services extend across the world to cover a diverse spread of international markets, including North America, Asia, Europe and Latin America. So, the likelihood is that if you might well find a Spielo games machine if you step into any land-based casino or games room.

$6 Billion Partnership

In April 2015, GTECH and IGT combined forces to give way to one of the world's biggest end-to-end gaming company called International Game Technology PLC. This wasn't just any old merger, however, because this $6.4 billion deal saw the creation of a truly global powerhouse in the land-based and online gambling markets, which is why the company was welcomed to the New York Stock Exchange to trade alongside some of the biggest businesses in the financial markets. That wasn't the first time that this company has undergone some major changes, because GTECH itself actually used to be known as Boss Media, a Swedish software producer which was bought on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 2008.

And why has IGT become such a popular and well-known brand in the gaming industry? Well, last year alone, the game developer took home a duo of awards from the Global Gaming Awards 2015 with success for their S3000 gaming cabinet and Powerbucks game. It's no surprise that everyone wants to do business with them.
