Cantor sets sail for mobile cruise-ship deal
Gaming technology company signs agreement with Celebrity Cruises to bring mobile games to on-board passengers
Cantor Gaming has entered into an agreement with Celebrity Cruises to provide the cruise industry’s first complete mobile casino gaming solution.
Celebrity’s guests will be able to play the full suite of Cantor’s mobile casino games on their personal smartphones and tablets by downloading an Apple and Android compatible app.
The free download will be available to Celebrity customers across its shipboard wi-fi network with games set to include a selection of slots, table games and video poker, all of which will be available on the Cantor mobile gaming platform.
Once guests have downloaded the app they will be invited to create a “virtual wallet” at the ship’s casino desk to activate and fund their account, following which they can play Cantor’s games on their personal mobile devices anywhere onboard the ship while it is in international waters.
“We are excited to partner with Celebrity Cruises and bring our premier mobile gaming technology to its high-end ships, allowing passengers to play our popular suite of casino games while enjoying their vacation,” said Lee M Amaitis, president and CEO of Cantor Gaming.
“This is an important milestone for us, as it marks our first venture bringing our mobile gaming platform to the cruise industry,” he added.
News of the deal comes a week after Cantor revealed it had entered an agreement with US games supplier Bally Technologies that will see Cantor’s sports wagering and mobile casino gaming content integrated into Bally’s iGaming Platform.
