Leander partners with Avatingo creators
Exclusive deal will see Argentinian company provide social gaming developer Bejig with slots content for Facebook.
Argentinian solutions provider Leander Games has signed an exclusive deal to supply social gaming company beJig with slots content for Facebook.
beJig, whose Avatingo social slots and bingo game has 150,000 monthly active users on Facebook, will have exclusive rights to operate and monetise Leander’s slots content on the social network.
Its management team comprises CEO Tom Gooding, CTO David Hampstead and COO Simon Smiley, all of whom are involved with Quick Think Media, the company behind Power Affiliate FreeBingoHunter: Gooding as MD, Hampstead as owner and Smiley as commercial director.
Content from Leander will appear alongside beJig’s in-house content, with the Magic Building and Jean Wealth slots already live within Avatingo.
The deal comes just a week after Leander Games agreed a deal to provide Swedish operator Betsson with games content including its Megadeth-branded slot.
Leander Games CEO and founder Ramiro Atucha (pictured) said: “We are delighted to be part of Avatingo’s growth across the world in 2012. Our games have been designed with a global audience in mind and we are absolutely delighted that they will be played by such a wide demographic with more games to be featured soon.”
Among the investors in Avatingo is New Game Capital, the egaming-focused venture capital fund which is advised by Cashcade founders Simon Collins and Patrick Southon, among others. When the investment was made in September, New Game Capital pledged to build a portfolio of “up to 15 companies” in the sector.
