Scientific Games and Blue Ribbon announce partnership

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Scientific Games Corporation and Blue Ribbon have partnered to offer jackpots via the Company’s Foundation Innovation platform and Open Gaming System content aggregation platform.

The OGS has quickly become one of the industry’s most powerful two-sided distribution platforms. With almost 2,500 games from studios worldwide, OGS is connected to over 200 operators across every major regulated market.

The partnership sees Blue Ribbon provide their cutting-edge jackpots marketing platform to any OGS content, packaged in a seamless overlay. For the first time this will give Scientific Games’ partners the capabilities to control the jackpot as a true marketing tool and will make it easy for players to enjoy a new gaming experience tailor made for them. Blue Ribbon will give OGS partners an innovative way to engage better with their players and to offer a new set of incentives tools which will improve both player acquisition and retention.
