Since November of last year there have been announcements that Svenska Spel, a government-owned gaming company in Sweden, would be launching an online poker site. Today, the long-awaited Internet poker room makes its debut, becoming the first ever government-owned and licensed online poker room in history. With about 140 licensed gaming companies owned by different governments around the world, the Swedes have set a precedent, which, if followed, would likely revolutionize the world of online gaming.
Svenska Spel's new poker room is being launched together with the help of Boss Media, a gaming software supplier, which provided the technical components for the venture. Boss Media President Johan Berg hailed the launch of the new poker room and noted that "gaming responsibility is a critical factor for the government-owned licensed gaming companies. Our solution is clearly more advanced that what is available on the market today. It creates greater security for the end-users as well as for the gaming company since they gain increased control of the gaming operations."
