Festive Fun Delivered by Rapid Mobile Media Technology
First Mobile Games From Gamesys Include a Seasonal Release
Edinburgh - 16th December, 2008 - Rapid Mobile Media Ltd, provider of innovative mobile application and service delivery software platforms, today announced the availability of the first gaming titles delivered by Gamesys using the ThinkPhone suite of technologies. The graphically-rich and highly interactive slot games provide users the chance to win huge progressive jackpots and include a Deal or No Deal theme, the chic 1920s themed Diamond Bonanza and a special seasonal release, Christmas Bonanza, which has already enabled one lucky winner to pick up a jackpot of over £5,000. The ThinkPhone Deliver provisioning platform enables the downloadable applications to automatically be delivered to the widest possible range of handsets, maximising the reach for the service whilst ensuring every user experiences the best possible quality gaming experience.
The provisioning platform is fully integrated with Gamesys' gaming servers and back office systems, providing a secure, real time transactional environment for mobile gameplay. Gamesys will be launching its first casino product, Blackjack, at Christmas, while Roulette, Bingo and a Mobile Scratchcard are scheduled for early 2009, with more products expected to follow.
The ThinkPhone development philosophy focuses on user interaction to create easy-to-use, intuitive applications. Porting and testing effort is minimised because of a provisioning process which automatically optimises applications at the point of delivery to match the individual handset capabilities. This means that engineering costs and time to market for applications are minimised, and the service provider does not have to expend valuable resources addressing the increasingly diverse universe of mobile phone types - the ThinkPhone platform is able to future proof service delivery.
"Proven commercial deployments demonstrate how our ThinkPhone application and service delivery platforms enable our customers to engage with mobile users," said Jeremy Copp, CEO of Rapid Mobile Media. "As well as delivering services such as Metro Mobile, Betfair Mobile and the Jackpotjoy mobile portfolio, the ThinkPhone platforms are fully integrated with Ad360, our mobile advertising platform. This means that high-quality display advertising can be delivered into both applications and mobile internet sites as a monetisation mechanism."
"Gamesys have a well deserved reputation for delivering the highest quality gaming experiences," said Jeremy Copp, CEO of Rapid Mobile Media. "We are delighted to have been able to work with them in extending the high quality experience of Jackpotjoy to mobile. The benefits of our ThinkPhone automatic application provisioning process are exemplified in enabling the rapid introduction of the Christmas Bonanza game to bring cheer to mobile users this festive season."
The latest mobile Jackpotjoy games are available by visiting http://www.jackpotjoy.com/mobile/ on the web, or http://jackpotjoy.mobi through a mobile phone browser.
