Majong Club takes Possesion of World Majong Tour

Mahjong is a very popular game in the Asian gaming community. It has been an extremely successful pastime engaging a huge number of participants on the most viewed social network Facebook. It has the debated reputation of being the game that is played the most often in Asia, known as a “kitchen table game” played by friends and families. It is often played with wagering involved where sometimes large money is placed on the results of a game. The social similarities have been noted by gaming experts that say Majong is like Poker in America, it’s a home grown game with local roots. Other similarities are pointed out in that Poker and Majong are both games of skill and luck.
Adriaan Brink the Chief Executive Officer of Majong Club announced today that it had purchased the popular Facebook game “World Mahjong Tour”. The application provides a multiplayer mahjong game available within social networks including Facebook.
Mr.Brink said, “We are very excited by this development, as it is an important part of our strategy to be the number one destination for multiplayer Mahjong on the internet. We intend to significantly enhance the Facebook game, while also offering the great game play and tournaments on the download version available on the website.” adding, “Zynga have shown the world that there is a market for free-play games on these social networks. Our goal is to bring these concepts to the Mahjong Players on Facebook and other social networks.”
Adriaan Brink has a sterling reputation as the previous CEO of Mahjong Mania, a Dynasty Gaming company, from 2004 to 2007. He was successful in launching Mahjong on a number of internet sites including Ladbrokes. Will Majong take over poker in popularity race for online games? That’s an issue that gaming operators are watching closely hedging bets that the huge Asian market will be an obvious choice.
