Cottle said: “Many of Red7’s partners are also our partners, so we truly feel this is a win-win for all of our stakeholders. As we merge Red7’s content into our extensive game library, we will expand our UK retail and digital portfolio and be able to deliver even more compelling game content for the global digital Real Money Gaming business.”
