From the Press Release
Gamblit Gaming, leading technology provider for real money gaming in mobile games, today announced partnerships with Shanda Games International Europe, Gamiker and Flexball. All three companies will utilize Gamblit Gaming’s proprietary platform to let users add real money gaming mechanics to any mobile or PC game with a single, simple integration.
“We’re thrilled that our first partners are some of the world’s top mobile game publishers and innovators who constantly push mobile gambling forward,” said Eric Meyerhofer, CEO, Gamblit Gaming. “This is an exciting time. With mobile technology available to almost every audience, the opportunities are endless. Allowing mobile games to enable gambling delivers an enhanced form of entertainment that will keep players engaged on a whole new level.”
Shanda Games International Europe is a division of Shanda Games, one of China’s leading online game companies and publisher of some of the world’s most popular massively multiplayer online games (MMOG) and mobile games, including Dragon Nest and Million Arthur. Shanda Games International Europe will reveal their roadmap of mobile titles developed with Gamblit Gaming’s proprietary platform later this year.
“We were immediately impressed by Gamblit’s capabilities and unique position in the games space,” said Coco Chen, Managing Director, Shanda Games International Europe. “We look forward to working with Gamblit and being at the forefront of this emerging market.”
Gamiker is a Los Angeles-based publisher of mobile gambling games that offers engaging and creative alternatives to traditional casino style games. Gamiker’s first title launching with Gamblit Gaming will be Hatching Dragons, a free-to-play puzzle game that introduces collectible dragons and their eggs to the old mold of Jewel and Candy Matching games. It will be the world’s first “Match-3” game to offer real money gambling. The company has plans to release a larger slate of games in Q4 2014.
“We got into this business because we love games and wanted to try something new in a segment of the industry that has been stagnant, in the face of great change in the online and mobile landscape,” said Ray Ting, CEO, Gamiker. “Partnering with Gamblit made perfect sense to us, as our visions are aligned, we share an innovative spirit and no one else comes close to delivering the way they have for us!”
Headquartered in Seoul, Korea, Flexball is an innovative mobile game studio focused on developing high-quality social gambling games. Titles built on the new Gamblit Gaming platform will be announced in 2014.
“The more I started looking into real money gambling in mobile games, the stronger I felt about it,” said Henry Park, CEO, Flexball. “We’re excited to partner with Gamblit as we know this is a complicated space to walk alone and truly value how they are bridging the gap between gaming and gambling.”
Gamblit Gaming’s platform gives game developers access to real money gaming capabilities to enhance mobile games, tap into the lucrative online gaming and land-based casino markets and attract the high income consumer. Developers can integrate a single SDK into their existing mobile games or design new, original real money games with Gamblit Gaming’s development kit. Gamblit Gaming provides all of the technology, operations, account management, security, gambling licenses, regulations and compliance elements needed. The company also helps casino operators deliver a new entertainment experience to not only attract new players, but retain existing players. Through Gamblit Gaming, casino operators can compete on innovation while driving growth and revenue.
