Masabi Mobile For Playtech
UK company develops mobile gambling vehicle for turnkey
provider
The London-based private mobile applications developer
Masabi has teamed up with online casino and poker room
turnkey provider Playtech to launch mobile gambling
facilities.
Masabi revealed this week that it has completed the
design and development for Playtech of a range of mobile
phone casino applications. Masabi’s secure mobile
development experience, combined with its skills in
developing applications on low-end phones, has allowed
Playtech to effectively replicate its online gaming
experience on mass-market handsets. The mobile product is
now live, with the first mobile Slots, Black Jack, Roulette,
Baccarat and Video Poker applications already rolled out to
Playtech licensees.
“As Java mobile phones have become prevalent we now
have a brand new channel for our casino applications,”
said Avigur Zamora, CEO of Playtech. “We evaluated a
number of partners before selecting Masabi - their ability
to build secure, highly usable and graphically rich
applications on even the most constrained mobile devices
will enable our licensees to effectively extend their
offerings into the mobile space.”
Tom Godber, CTO and founder of Masabi said, “We are
delighted to be working with [Playtech] at the cutting edge
of mobile technology, creating one of the most advanced
secure, transactional mobile applications yet seen.”
Masabi has been working on innovative mobile applications
since its formation in 2002. The company has built a range
of advanced phone software and has provided development and
design consultancy on a range of projects including mobile
banking and sports betting applications.
Founded in 2002, Masabi began by launching a range of
mobile phone games before moving into the mobile application
sector with its ground breaking viral distribution and web
interaction technology. The company has a number of high
profile clients from across a range of industry sectors,
publicly announced examples of which include: Playtech, the
Tote, the Liberal Democrats and Vodafone WildLive!. Based in
London, Masabi is wholly self-owned and self-funded.
