IGT will offer electronic bingo titles Bengal Eyes, Golden Rooster and Pharaoh’s Legacy, among others, for play through a pilot program at twelve Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation-governed charitable gaming destinations.

The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation will be the first lottery in Canada to feature any of IGT’s proprietary electronic bingo games.

“Launching electronic bingo content in Canada represents a meaningful growth opportunity for IGT and its customers,” David Flinn, IGT Regional Vice President for Canada, said in a statement.

“IGT’s Canadian bingo portfolio complements the company’s existing solutions portfolio for the region,” Flinn said, “and is anchored in titles that have been localized to meet the needs of our customers and their players.

“We expect this launch to be successful, and we look forward to extending our electronic bingo base to other provinces throughout Canada.”
