New Initiative Gets Casinos Interactive Online

Spin3, a provider of mobile gambling solutions has launched OnCash -- a system that empowers land-based casinos and other organisations that work in a cash-environment to branch their business into the online and mobile casino mediums quickly and easily, whilst utilising their existing processing and payment solutions.

OnCash has been created for establishments in countries that have a predominantly cashbased culture. The system is designed with a powerful web-based network that works like a regular brick-and-mortar casino except that in exchange for cash, players receive credits – to either a mobile casino, online casino or both - that allow them to play anywhere, anytime.

The casino games will be provided by Microgaming, an online gaming software provider and contain a whole array of classic casino games, including live dealer table games via streaming video and progressive jackpots.

Spin3 said it developed the OnCash concept to open up the online and mobile casino markets to enterprises, such as land-based casinos and hotels, by offering them a new and lucrative revenue stream that fully complements their business.

“Traditionally, a lot of effort in the industry has been placed on the mobile games themselves, and not on the business ecosystem used to deliver them. We identified this gap and recognized the potential a system such as OnCash offered to fill this void to make the deployment of interactive casino operations as quick and easy as possible so that these operations could take advantage of the lucrative opportunities available in interactive gaming,” said Matti Zinder, Head of Spin3.

“We are really excited about the prospects for OnCash in developing markets such as South East Asia. We have already begun the product’s first trial run, and are looking at a number of potential retail partners in this region and beyond in the near future.”
