Ongame Launches Casino with Jadestone Poker players at Paf are offered casino side games within the

poker client Gibraltar July 17, 2012 Ongame is entering the casino market and today is announcing the first implementation of casino side games within the poker client for all players using the Paf poker client. Casino side games within the poker client enable poker players to enjoy casino games while playing poker. The casino games are part of the casino offering provided by Jadestone a WMS company. The first operator to offer side games within the poker client is Paf. The non-intrusive implementation of side games is designed to increase total operator revenues without cannibalizing on poker. In addition, side games also enable the promotion of other gaming products to poker players, which increases long-term player loyalty for the operator brand. We are happy to finally offer side games within our poker client. For us at Paf, with our focus mainly on recreational players, this is a natural step to expand our offering towards our poker players and to cross promote poker and casino. The packaging of the games is great and the lookand-feel really fits Paf. Arvid Klingstrm, Head of Poker at Paf Jadestones side games offering is perfectly suited for implementation within the Ongame poker client. With the help of Ongame we are able to offer exciting casino games to poker players without making it hard for the operator to implement. This is a new way for us to distribute content, and through the recent acquisition of Jadestone by WMS, we may ultimately look to provide WMS award-winning portfolio in a similar manner.
