Season5 Gaming Officially Launches Revolutionary Skill Gaming Platform
28 June 06, LONDON: Opening their doors to
operators, Season5 Gaming announced today the launch of their
innovative skill-based gaming platform. Brandishing an
industry first, they present true multiplayer tournaments
amongst other unique features.
The competitive advantage of Season5 Gaming's offering is the
plasticity it offers. Season5 Gaming provides players with a
unified online platform to play live skill-based games. Game
types include multiplayer games, single-player tournaments
for "progressive" prize pools and as an industry first, the
platform holds true multiplayer tournaments. All games types
include both a wagered or non-wagered option.
Season5 Gaming director, Karen Mc Dade commented, "We are at
a stage where we feel confident entering the market with a
product that is dynamic in its offering to potential
operators, appealing to investors and utterly engaging for
gamers."
Season5 Gaming was hailed as "the newest independent skills
kid on the block and playing hardball, with some fantastic
new games and some cult favourites that are guaranteed to be
a (profitable) hit!" six months ago during beta testing of
the platform.
Since then, Season5 Gaming has further refined its offering
with an exceptional combination of skill-based games and an
impressive roadmap of future games for their platform. The
company provides an ideal opportunity for online gaming
operators to increase their portfolio and earnings potential
by advertising in regions previously off limits to gambling
operators.
In the past month the company has released two new games,
Poker Solitaire and Gin Rummy. This adds to the gamut of
games already under the Season5 Gaming banner, including: Ro
Sham Bo (Rock Paper Scissors), Ship Battle, Chess, Octoneuro
and Acromania.
Mc Dade continues, "Season5 Gaming is pushing the envelope of
the skill gaming industry by pioneering new ways for players
to compete with one another in a safe, engaging and community
driven environment. By allowing our players to compete in
standard cash games as well as sit & go and small to
large scheduled tournaments, we believe that our technology
creates a platform that gaming operators can utilise to
acquire new players, as well as provide new gaming
opportunities to their existing player base.
"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 3rd
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.
Skill Extreme (www.skillextreme.com), an
established operator that has facilitated the testing of
Season5 Gaming's platform had over 130 beta testers,
trialling and testing the software from mid February.
Mc Dade concludes, "We view the Season5 Gaming platform as
the 3rd 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.
