Cometa scores with football fanatics

Adding a little extra adrenaline kick to the to the forthcoming World Cup, Cometa Games announces the imminent launch of World Cup Shootout, a new gambling game designed specifically for the mobile platform.

The new game, which will be launched during the World Telemedia Expo in Berlin on April 24-26 challenges players to sneak one past the goalkeeper, placing bets on the outcome of each penalty kick. Players bet cash on each kick and can aim the ball at different areas of the goal, all of which are worth a different amount if they manage to score a goal.

The new title is the first of a series of prize-giving games to be made available on Cometa's New Mobile Casino application, which allows players to download and play games, securely inputting credit/debit card information and requesting direct payouts from any winnings.

Rob Anderson, Cometa Games MD, commented: "World Cup Shootout has been designed to capitalise on the capabilities of mobile phone handsets and the way users interact with them. It's simple, accessible and fun. Like all of Cometa's games, the Arcadia system ensures that the gambling mechanism never gets in the way of the player's enjoyment. It's perfect for a few minutes play, at half time for example, or whenever the player has a short time to play."

"Cometa's priority is to ensure that every game, every session and every bet is simple, convenient and easily understood for the player. We're delighted to be launching World Cup Shootout and we hope football fans worldwide will enjoy it too," Anderson added.

Established in 2003, Cometa Games initially launched with a range of gaming titles and it's own dedicated mobile gambling platform. The company now works with partners worldwide, including mbet.com, gobetya.com and r-cade.com amongst others, offering a totally customisable service that allows partners to modify and brand their casino to their own specifications.
