With Slingo Quest, I-Play releases yet another widely known and played casual game from the internet on the mobile phone.
Targeted at the 25-29 year old women, Slingo provides a gameplay brewed up from evergreens Bingo and Slots which has proven widely popular on the internet already. With 50% of the mobile gamers estimated at 26-34 years old, the game should fit perfectly into the mobile gamers demographic. The internet version of the Slingo game already has 3.1 million registered users that played 2.1 billion games. Next to the internet and mobile platform, Slingo is also available on iTV channels through I-Play’s mother company Oberon Media.
David Gosen, President, I-play, commented: “Slingo
Quest is a well loved online casual games property and we’re excited about the impact it will have on mobile. The Slingo franchise is also available via Oberon Media’s online platform and PixelPlay’s iTV platform, and we will naturally be looking to cross pollinate Slingo’s huge online community to mobile.”
Eric Lamendola, Director of Business Development, Slingo Inc. “We’re excited as a content provider to be the first to work with one company with the expertise and distribution capabilities to take our franchise to the three screens of mobile, online and iTV. This can only help the many casual game developers and content providers achieve broad based success. We’re particularly excited about Slingo Quest’s global mobile launch and hope to leverage the success we’ve had online, onto mobile.
