OpenBet reaches agreement with Zukido

27 January 2012


(PRESS RELEASE) -- OpenBet, the leading sportsbook and online gaming software supplier, and Zukido, the sports betting and e-gaming product specialist, today announce an agreement that will see OpenBet distributing Zukido's portfolio of mobile games to their sports betting and e-gaming client base.

Zukido's HTML5 games suite will be integrated into OpenBet Casino via its Fixed Odds Games (FOG) server. The games can be played on any smart phone handset supporting HTML5 including Android, iPhone, Blackberry, and Windows mobile.

Initial games ported will be Gameshow Hi-Lo, Fireball Football (a multi-line slot), and Shear Luck (a scratch card game) with more games in the pipeline.

The games will be made available to all OpenBet customers and will be included as a standard release.

David Sargeant, Commercial Director at Zukido, said of the deal: "Zukido's well-known mini-games make a seamless transition to mobile. The phone screen size and intuitive, fast gameplay meet two of the key criteria for players in choosing games on mobile devices, and more importantly in returning to those games time and time again. Having OpenBet as a key mobile partner is exciting and we can't wait to get the games to market".

Max Francis, Commercial Partner Manager at OpenBet, commented: "The OpenBet platform has always offered a truly unbiased choice of content from across the industry and this applies equally to mobile."
