LONDON, September 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

According to the agreement, Playtech will provide its entire suite of industry-leading products, which includes casino, poker, mobile, bingo, live dealer games, and TV, all operating under a local gaming license.  Given Mediaset España´s expertise in broadcasting, it plans to place a special focus on Playtech's TV product, capitalising on the mass-market appeal of this platform.

This is a particularly strategic step for both parties, as Mediaset España is listed among Spain's 35 strongest companies on the main Spanish stock exchange IBEX 35 with a €1.780M market capitalisation to date. In choosing to sign with Playtech, it joins the gaming industry's leading provider in what is proving to be a tremendously successful market for online gaming.

By signing this agreement, Playtech has positioned itself as a key partner for Mediaset España, launching a new business area designed to complement its already expansive entertainment offer.
