Its most recent acquisition is seen as another push for further consolidation in the local market. Both companies noted in a press release from earlier today that they are looking forward to combining their businesses and thus extend their offering and footprint into existing and new markets. Eyecon comes as the latest addition to Playtech's Gaming division. Last year, the leading supplier purchased several other gaming companies to boost its operations. Swedish slots developer Quickspin AB, German self-service betting terminals company Best Gaming Technology, and bingo software and hardware provider ECM Systems were the three major deals Playtech sealed in 2016. The company paid nearly €200 million for the three international businesses. Expansion and key acquisitions have long been an important part of the major company's growth strategy, so it will not be a surprise if more news about purchase deals emerge in the months to come.
