FUN TECH DEAL WITH VIRGIN

FUN Tech has a busy quarter....

FUN Technologies is making the most of the burgeoning skill gaming sector, following its acquisition of Fanball with a significant deal between subsidiary SkillJam and Virgin Games.

The exclusive, multi-year agreement with Virgin Games means that SkillJam becomes Virgin's supplier of skill-game products and services.

SkillJam will provide a library of skill-based games available, including single-player branded games such as Zuma, Bejeweled, Collapse, Solitaire and Name that Tune, as well as multi-player games like Pool, Chess, Checkers and Hearts.

SkillJam will develop, operate and support customised, Virgin-branded skill gaming websites for the US, UK, and European markets.

"This partnership is a major step in our ambition to build a destination gaming site for the mainstream market. The marriage of our brand, distribution and marketing muscle with SkillJam's world-class technology and content will be a potent force in the market" Oscar Nieboer, Managing Director of Virgin Games, said.
