Light & Wonder has bolstered the output of its OpenGaming aggregation platform via the “exclusive” addition of multiplayer platform provider and game supplier PlayJeux Studios.
The developer, which is based in Montreal, Quebec and boasts an ambition of creating “an industry leading multiplayer igaming platform,” will take a selection of its gaming suite live with the rebranded group.
“PlayJeux is bringing next-generation multiplayer games technology to the market, as a natural evolution positioned between live casino and single-player table games,” explained Sovanna Phan, CEO and Co-Founder at PlayJeux.
“PlayJeux’s multiplayer ecosystem allows multiple players to play, chat, and share an authentic casino experience on the same interactive game, whether it is slots or table games.
“By adding jackpots, side bets, and gamification features, we are aiming to redefine igaming players’ enjoyment.”
The first PlayJeux games that are set to go live on OpenGaming initially are Roulette Wheel of Thunder, Blackjack Royal Poker and Blackjack Royal Pairs, with multiplayer content set to follow in the coming months.
Tony Plaskow, Co-Founder at PlayJeux, commented: “PlayJeux has a global focus for our games and technology, so Light and Wonder, as the widest distributor of interactive games, is a natural partner.
“We have a shared vision for giving players more enjoyment and a richer, more authentic, gaming experience than current offerings.”
This becomes the latest addition to an OpenGaming ecosystem that delivers more than 3,500 games from a global network of in-house and third-party game studios.
Steve Mayes, Digital Partnerships Director at Light & Wonder, added: “The PlayJeux team has put together a really fresh take on the multiplayer experience with its platform solution and we look forward to rolling games out in markets worldwide.
“Our mission as a company is to bring new worlds of play to our customers and PlayJeux’s innovative solution fits that bill perfectly. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
