The Gibraltar-based Odobo has launched its new HTML5 games development program and platform for the regulated online gambling industry.
The Odobo Game Development Kit (GDK) supports HTML5 game production based upon engines and random number generators that are certified by industry-accredited third-party testing facilities. Odobo makes all approved games available in multiple currencies and languages and is now accepting applications to its Game Developer Program from game studios and producers.
Founder and CEO Ashley Lang said: “It’s very likely that the blockbuster game that will help take online casino gambling mainstream has not been invented yet. We thought, ‘how would any developer with that great game idea overcome all the hurdles in today’s industry?’ Something needed to change.
“There is a lot of excitement over the convergence of social and regulated gaming. We have designed the Odobo platform to enable and support innovation, while operating within a regulatory framework where responsible gaming and fair-play measures are in place to protect the players,” added Lang.
All approved games are available to casino operators via the Odobo marketplace - a B2B content ‘app store’ for the industry - launching in early 2013. The Odobo platform, GDK and marketplace are the result of more than 18 months of development by a team of over 40 industry engineers, architects, designers and developers.
