Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) has formed a new strategic partnership with Itibari, Waynne & Partners (IWP) to provide enhanced live entertainment access to Tribal gaming properties across the US.
“This partnership brings together two ecosystems that believe in ownership, transparency and building sustainable revenue models that work for creators and the venues that support them,” IWP Founder and CEO Bruce Waynne said.
“Creators are small businesses, and they deserve to be treated that way. This collaboration provides QCI access to our Studio Network — particularly VYRE, our AVOD streaming platform partner with live streaming technology — ensuring creators retain control of their work while reaching wider audiences and unlocking new revenue streams.”
As part of the collaboration, the entities will debut a new vertical, titled Live-House, to offer live event access across Tribal gaming floors.
Guests will have the ability to engage with concerts, performances and entertainment experiences through in-property digital channels, such as mobile and player-facing platforms.
QCI Co-Founder and CTO Andrew Cardno also spoke on the new partnership, having said, “At its core, this partnership is about access.
“Tribal gaming resorts have invested billions into building extraordinary entertainment destinations. By combining QCI’s real-time intelligence platform with VYRE’s live streaming technology, we’re making it possible for those experiences to reach the entire property — creating deeper engagement and meaningful new revenue opportunities.”
The collaboration will also utilize IWP’s Studio Network to offer finance, distribution and monetization tools, while QCI’s platform will hope to provide operational systems, data intelligence and commercial insights for Tribal gaming operators.
QCI went on to state that “additional announcements” regarding live deployments and upcoming event integrations will be released “in the coming weeks.”
