GTG Network, according to Tanzania betting sites, a Melbourne-based technology and data provider with employees in London and other cities around the world, has agreed to provide Flutter Entertainment with a free-to-play package to be deployed at Paddy Power.

GTG's "Skill Zone" portfolio includes Hit the Spot, which launched late last year, as well as arcade basketball, trivia games and an upcoming miniature golf game scheduled for release in June.

The FTP portfolio will first be available in Paddy Power apps and on desktops.

The games may become available on other Flutter verticals, but will initially be found on Paddy Power's desktop, Android and iOS platforms.

Flutter Entertainment PLC, listed on the London Stock Exchange, is the world's largest online gambling group after the former Paddy Power Betfair company acquired Canada's The Stars Group in a $12.2 billion merger approved by the UK Competition and Markets Authority in April.

TSG-owned PokerStars is the world's largest online poker site. The conglomerate also owns Sky Betting and Gaming, which serves the United Kingdom, and FoxBet in the United States.

Paddy Power Sports director Ben Reilly said the company is pleased with the first results of attracting customers to the free Skill Zone game.

Nathan Rothschild, co-founder and partner of GTG, said: "...we are fortunate to have a suite of products to communicate with fans at a time when sports are virtually non-existent. We've been thrilled with the response to Skill Zone. Already a unique offering for sports betting, the new features we're releasing will really raise the bar for innovation in the industry."

Casino and virtual sports games are widely available for free play

Although free sports and trivia games are a somewhat new phenomenon in the industry, almost all casinos offer free casino games.

Those involved in virtual sports have long offered free versions of virtual sports, such as virtual soccer and fixed-odds gambling.

Leap Gaming, a strategic partner of the 1×2 Network, develops and provides instant sports and schedule games. The betting experience is virtually identical to betting on real-world competition.

According to the company, the games are where virtuality and reality intersect. The games feature three-dimensional graphics and extremely well-drawn animations and sound effects. Games such as Instant Speedway are available in a free casino for entertainment and offer 21st century players a way to enjoy gambling or practice using virtual betting.

Virtual sports can be tried for free on the Leap Gaming website. Look for instant and scheduled competitions including horses, soccer, greyhounds, speedway, trotting, cycling and tennis.

Many promotional sites, as well as most online casinos themselves, offer free versions of all their games, with the exception of live dealer games.

Visitors can play slots (except most progressive ones), blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps and even scratch cards, keno and bingo without risking their own money.
