Toronto-based social casino games developer Imperus Technologies, which supplies a free-to-play mobile poker app to Pokerstars, has announced that it is to integrate slots from games developer Akamon into the ‘Jackpot Poker by PokerStars’ app.
This agreement is aligned with the co-branded and game distribution program strategy of Akamon, to which the company attributes 27 percent of its revenues during 2015, reaching a potential audience of more than 500 million users through its owned portal and those of its partners.
Those partners are distributed in several sectors: 76 percent are gaming sites, 12 percent belong to the telecom sector such as Orange and its Latin American sister Starmedia or UOL in Brazil, and another 12 percent to other media.
The set of slot games to be initially provided by Akamon on Jackpot Poker include ‘Fire Wheel 7s’, a classic slots game with a wheel bonus, which will be available both in the main slots lobby and as a side game; ‘Monte Carlo’, which combines an innovative reel layout and expanding wilds feature with a classy casino theme; and, ‘Salsa Nights’, mixing a special wilds feature with a rich free spins with an elegant Caribbean theme.
“Players have told us they want the ability to play slots while enjoying our jackpot tournaments and cash games,” said Pokerstars’ director of social gaming Lloyd Melnick in a statement Wednesday.
“The addition of Akamon’s slots to Jackpot Poker by PokerStars is the next evolution of Jackpot Poker, and we will continue to add the features and capabilities our players want.”
