A: This is very true; there has been a lot of speculation concerning the entry of Virtual Games in the market. There are a number of projections which indicate a positive outlook for virtual games in Italy. Virtual Gaming offers fast paced gaming with numerous betting opportunities throughout the day.
Based on our International experience with Virtual Games, the service is graphically appealing and entertaining, offering live in shops as well as online and offers very exciting betting opportunities which we hope will attract a wide audience to the retail outlets of Italian concessionaires.
