Stockholm, Sweden



European Skill Games Network GamArena today announced the launch of the Next Generation in skill games. The GamArena network offers 14 different and exclusive skill games to play online for fun and for cash.

The skill gaming network GamArena has launched both via the B2C proposition www.GamArena.com and via a customized and integrated B2B version for PAF (at www.PAF.fi). This marks the conclusion to more than 20 months of development work from conception to going live. The network is supported by Finnish company EGET's proprietary EnterGainment Platform with back-office technology and services.

GamArena offers the latest in high-quality gaming entertainment with 14 games including the officially licensed game from multiple World and Olympic Table Tennis Champion Jan-Ove Waldner, ever classic Backgammon, frantic Formula 0.01 Racing, stylish MahJong and skill versions of Black Jack and 3-Card Poker.

GamArena have signed distribution deals with media and betting & gaming partners such as Aftonbladet and Bet and Win. With a great sales prospect list and multiple B2B partners in the pipeline, after an excellent GIGSE show in Montreal in mid-May, GamArena is set to become the definitive Next Generation skill games network.

Andrew Pegler, Managing Director of GamArena Ab, said that:

"It is a great feeling to have launched the GamArena network. It has been a long and complicated build, but we decided early to take a next generation approach to all facets of GamArena and I believe that it shows. The whole team is very proud of what it has achieved. And that's not all - we have new games and functionality to add to the product and very exciting distribution partners to work with including Bet and Win. It is in working with them to deliver seamless and customized skill games solutions that we will create a very large, active and successful network."

Said Lars Porko, PAF CEO:

"The launch of the GamArena network represents a very exciting time for us at PAF from the perspective of both a shareholder and a distribution partner. We believe strongly in the potential of GamArena and skill games. We see it as the perfect vehicle to entertain players in an ever more challenging Internet environment."
