Online slots developer Green Jade Games has joined forces with gamification and real-time engagement specialists CompetitionLabs as it looks to take player engagement and entertainment to the next level.

The partnership means that Green Jade can add gamification elements to its full suite of slots and future releases. This includes tournaments, missions, achievements and rewards, with Hammer of Fortune set to be the first game to launch with these features.

CompetitionLabs also allows developers to bring data sources together, leverage in-game data to create new experiences and process big data fast and make real-time decisions. This means Green Jade can create, test and roll-out promotion ideas in minutes.

Green Jade’s ethos is to create highly entertaining games that allow players to improve their skills at deploying game features while also having the opportunity to win potentially large cash prizes from relatively small stakes.

Benedict McDonagh, Green Jade Games CEO, said: “Partnering with CompetitionLabs allows us to include incredible gamification features in our slots without having to divert resources to developing these features in-house at a time when we are 100 per cent focussed on launching our first run of games.

“Offering tournaments and missions within our slots, and rewarding players for completing them, brings another dimension to our slots and makes them even more exciting and entertaining to play and we look forward to seeing how players respond.”
