Dragonfish has announced the launch of City Bingo.

City Bingo is the third stand-alone network on the Dragonfish bingo software platform to be launched with Mandalay Media, following the launches of Costa Bingo and Sing Bingo in June 2009 and July 2010 respectively.

Dragonfish will provide comprehensive bingo software, back office integration, 24/7 customer support and e-payments. Mandalay Media will operate the brand and run CRM and marketing. It will also provide a selection of quickplay instant format games including slots, table games, virtual sport, Hi Lo and scratch cards.

Richard Skelhorn, co-founder, Mandalay Media Group, said: "The players are enjoying our existing rooms Costa and Sing and we are pleased with our significant growth in the space in the last 18 months. The initial response to the launch has been excellent and has helped along with the heavy investment in Costa increase our total number of players online during peak hours to almost 4,000. That makes us second only to Cashcade’s (Foxy) network in terms of traffic on the Dragonfish platform.

"We are very ambitious and hope over the next 12 months to challenge for the number one position on both traffic and revenue levels. City Bingo will provide our players with a new and exciting place to enjoy Free Bingo 24/7 and a host of exciting instant games such as Monopoly and Cleopatra. Our new instants tournaments that will be released shortly will provide a new and exciting element to the brand."
