Spin 3 has taken a new approach to attract the retail channel to sell mobile games in a physical way by selling Ki-Bi cards. The Ki-Bi card is a new technology based on the good old answering machine remotes. The consumer can use the Ki-Bi card by pressing calling the number displayed on the card. After the connection is made, the user holds the Ki-Bi speaker near the microphone and presses one of the buttons which represents a download. After playing the sounds into the microphone, the connection is terminated and a download link is send via SMS. Looking at this new system, a lot of questions pop into my mind and probably yours as well. We will soon have an exclusive interview with Spin3 to get more details on the system. If you have any questions, please let me know.
“The acquisition of the unique Ki-Bi card technology is another step forward for Spin3 in the wireless casino solutions arena,” said Matti Zinder, CEO, Spin3. “We already hold the exclusive mobile rights to Microgaming’s GameWire software, for an exciting casino experience on mobile phones. The Ki-Bi card is another distribution tool for our customers, offering a fun experience to the end consumer whilst making mobile content transfer even easier.”
