Win2day Welcomes Casino Gaming with Open Arms
The Austrian Lotteries have turned up the heat in Vienna by opening their first live casino studio. Starting April 14, 2025, Austrian gamblers can now enjoy a thrilling range of live casino games on win2day in German. The Austrian Lotteries tapped the gambling development pros over at Pragmatic Play to build their shiny new platform.
On the menu are casino faves like Roulette, Blackjack, and the Austin-Power-esque Crazy Prater Wheel, a spin-off from Vienna's iconic Ferris Wheel. You can play 'em all on your smartphone, tablet, or PC – whoa, Vegas!
Erwin van Lambaart, CEO of the Austrian Lotteries, shared his thoughts on the studio's unveiling:
As a pillar of Austria and key employer in the gambling and entertainment sector, we're excited to bring win2day casino's diverse offerings. Our platform promises a secure gaming environment for our players, adding new jobs to the Viennese economy.- Erwin van Lambaart, CEO, Austrian Lotteries, lotterien.at**
German Lottery Companies Jump on the Bandwagon
It's party time in Germany too, buddy! Lottery companies like Lotto Baden-Württemberg and the Bavarian State Lottery have been offering online casino games to their customers since March 2024 and April 2024, respectively. You'll find popular slot games like Book of Ra and Lucky Lady's Charm on erwin and gamers in Bavaria, bustlin'. However, due to Germany's strict gambling regulations, only online slots are currently available on these platforms – bummer!
Modern Tech and Job Creation for Viennese
The 400 square meter studio in Vienna boasts the latest technology solutions and sleek room designs to deliver top-notch live casino broadcasts. To keep players safe and sound, artificial intelligence sifts through users' gaming behavior and flags any suspicious activity.
The new digs are expected to create up to 150 jobs, as 80 positions have already been filled. The new hires underwent several months of training and graduated from the Austrian Lotteries' training program designed specifically for their online casino studio work. Martin Škopek, CEO of the Austrian Lotteries, shares his enthusiasm:
By bringing the entire value chain under Austria's roof, we reaffirm our pioneering role and boost Vienna's expertise and labor market. Our commitment to responsible gaming means providing a secure, local gaming experience to keep illegal providers at bay.- Martin Škopek, CEO, Austrian Lotteries, lotterien.at**
