SKILL GAMES FOR ICE HOCKEY
Another solid white label deal for SkillJam
FUN Technologies subsidiary SkillJam has pulled off another lucrative
skill gaming deal with an agreement this week to create and supply the Canadian
National Hockey League (NHL) with a skill gaming facility for its website.
The games are scheduled to launch on the NHL-labelled website early in 2006, and
Skilljam will operate and support the pay-for-play skill gaming platform, offering
over 70 tournament-style games.
The website, which attracts some 6 million unique visitors every month is operated
by NHL Interactive CyberEnterprises (NHL ICE) and provides news, statistics, video
footage and interactive features to hockey fans on the web.
Lorne Abony, chief executive of FUN Technologies, said: “We are very pleased
to have been selected by NHL to power its online skill gaming, and we believe
that its loyal fan base will thrive on the competitive nature of our games. This
agreement signifies broader expansion of our distribution of white-label casual
gaming platforms to major global brands.”
Liberty Media recently announced that it is to acquire a 51 percent interest in
FUN in a deal valued at US $ 195 million.
