Season5 Gaming launches a new skills gaming platform
New on the skill gaming season is London-based Season5 Gaming, which opened its doors this week to operators looking for something a little different in the crowded skill gaming space.
Season5 says it provides players with a unified online platform to play live skill-based games. After a six month Beta testing phase, the platform offers game types that include multiplayer games, single-player tournaments for prize pools and as "an industry first", the platform holds true multiplayer tournaments. All games types include both a wagered or non-wagered option.
In the past month the company has released two new games, Poker Solitaire and Gin Rummy. This adds to the menu of games already under the Season5 banner, including: Ro Sham Bo (Rock Paper Scissors), Ship Battle, Chess, Octoneuro and Acromania.
Company director Karen McDade says: "Our platform is focused around player interaction and community, as we understand that a strong player community means high player retention for our operators. Due to the flexibility of the software engine, the platform permits third party game developers to create new games as well as port their existing well known titles over to our platform. This will enable third party developers to increase their bottom line through revenue share by providing their product with further exposure to the market."
Although a relatively new industry, skill-based gaming has fast growing interest among internet gamers and gamblers. The industry is projected to grow substantially within the next few years.
McDade concludes, "We view the Season5 Gaming platform as the Third Generation of skill gaming. First generation games were simple online single-player games that offered players little sense of achievement or challenge. Second generation games are a hybrid of the previous generation integrating more intense use of html based gambling systems on the market. Most of these systems are developed in Java or Flash, and although they are very accessible, they are also subject to limitations, incompatibilities with client hardware and security issues.
"Our third generation skill gaming platform provides a scalable network of gaming services with a downloadable client that can be easily customised for each gaming operation in terms of skin, gaming content and integration services with existing gaming platforms. Our platform also provides players with everything they would expect from a skill gaming system such as dynamic player ranking, quick and easy access to engaging games, a powerful community focus and multiplayer tournaments."
