Gioco Digitale and Jadestone Networks have confirmed success from the market launch of the two local online multiplayer card games Burraco and Scopa in Italy.
The two companies will now continue to expand the business with more enhancements in order to achieve an even broader audience.
Burraco and Scopa were launched in December 2010 and January respectively and within days from launch they achieved relevant positions in their respective genre. As a mark of this success both Burraco and Scopa are today offered also on bwin.it in Italy.
The Italian network now boasts large player liquidity in Italy. More than 20,000 players have been seated at the giocodigitale.it tables with peaks of almost 2,000 players at the same time. Around 30 per cent of the player base is female. During the initial live period, more than 450,000 cash tournaments of Burraco and Scopa have been played.
"Apart from delivering the numbers, the games have largely appealed to a new audience for us," commented Paolo di Feo, CEO of bwin Italia. "And in the months to come, we will make great enhancements in order to achieve an even bigger audience," he added.
