Gamblit Gaming, a technology provider for real-money gaming in mobile games, has entered into partnerships with online and mobile games publisher Shanda Games International Europe, as well as leading mobile games studios Gamiker and Flexball.
Under the agreements, all three companies will utilise Gamblit’s proprietary platform to allow users to add real-money gaming mechanics to any mobile or desktop game with a single integration.
“With mobile technology available to almost every audience, the opportunities are endless,” Gamblit chief executive officer Eric Meyerhofer said.
“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, a publisher of popular multiplayer online and mobile games such as ‘Million Arthur’ and ‘Dragon Nest’.
Coco Chen, managing director, Shanda Games International Europe, said: "We were immediately impressed by Gamblit's capabilities and unique position in the games space."
Los Angeles-based Gamiker publishes mobile gambling games that offer engaging alternatives to traditional casino style games, such as ‘Hatching Dragons’, which will be the first title to launch with Gamblit.
Ray Ting, chief executive officer of Gamiker, said: “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.
“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.”
Henry Park, chief executive officer of Flexball, said the company, which focused on developing social gambling games, feels strongly about moving into real-money gambling.
Park added: “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."
