Delaware North’s Betly iCasino brought Gaming Realms onto its West Virginia platform this week. The deal gives Betly users access to Gaming Realms’ full Slingo portfolio. Players can now find titles like Slingo Cleopatra and Slingo Deal or No Deal on the site.
Gaming Realms specialises in Slingo games, a hybrid format mixing slots and bingo mechanics. The studio has built partnerships across multiple US states since entering the market. Delaware North runs Betly as its online casino brand in West Virginia.
Davide Colosimo, Delaware North’s Director of Interactive Casino, said Gaming Realms “has developed a strong reputation for creating immersive games.” He called the content addition part of Betly’s push to offer “best-in-class content that meets the evolving tastes of today’s online players.”
Why Slingo Games Fit Betly’s Strategy
The partnership targets players who want familiar brands in new formats. Slingo titles often use licensed properties that casino players already know. Deal or No Deal and Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania already have recognition in the gambling space.
Betly emphasised the “sticky game mechanics” these titles bring. Games that keep players engaged longer help operators compete in crowded state markets. West Virginia currently has limited online casino competition compared to states like New Jersey or Pennsylvania.
Gaming Realms’ portfolio also includes Slingo XXXtreme, which adds higher volatility to the standard format. This variety lets Betly appeal to both casual players and those seeking bigger potential payouts.
What Content Now Appears on Betly
Four main titles launched as part of the integration. Slingo Cleopatra brings the ancient Egypt theme to the hybrid format. Lucky Larry’s Lobstermania Slingo adapts the popular IGT slot franchise. And Slingo XXXtreme offers the high-risk version.
The games work through Gaming Realms’ existing technical infrastructure. This means Betly didn’t need major platform changes to add the content. Players access the titles directly through the Betly website.
Craig Falciglia, Gaming Realms’ VP of North America, said the launch “strengthens our presence in the United States.” He noted Delaware North’s focus on “engaging and differentiated content” as a key reason for the partnership.
How This Supports Delaware North’s Expansion Plans
Delaware North stated it plans to expand Betly into more regulated US markets. The operator didn’t specify which states or provide timelines. But adding proven content suppliers like Gaming Realms builds the foundation for multi-state operations.
The company recently partnered with Vegas Kings on October 8 to improve its platform’s design. That deal covers both iGaming and sportsbook products. Delaware North is redesigning its US digital assets first, with additional projects coming in the next few months.
These partnerships suggest Delaware North is preparing Betly for launches beyond West Virginia. But it’ll need state-by-state licensing before those expansions happen.
