Fredrik Elmqvist, CEO, Yggdrasil Gaming, said: “Spain has quickly emerged as one of Europe’s fastest-growing and exciting jurisdictions, making it a perfect environment for Yggdrasil’s award-winning slots and promotional tools.
“To enter Spain with GVC, a long-time partner across multiple jurisdictions, will ensure our games are enjoyed by slots fans across the country.
“Following recent entries into Denmark and Italy, it also underlines Yggdrasil’s commitment to expanding its footprint in Europe’s regulated markets.”
It was also detailed that the Spanish online gaming market has enjoyed impressive growth in recent years, particularly since it added slots to its offering in 2015.
