We are likely to see more and more social casino games on the market, thanks to Flowplay. The developer has released a new backend system called which makes it easy for games designers to create social casino platforms. According to Inside Mobile Apps, the new system will greatly benefit designers, allowing them to create their own social gaming games in a short period of time.
They can get to the release stage more quickly, allowing them to attract players and monetize their titles with a quick turnaround. The backend is actually the system upon which Flowplay’s Vegas World app currently runs. It provides players with the tools they need to run advertising, payments and gameplay. It is an all-in-one development solution, which could certainly help to boost the number of social games in the mobile marketplace.
The great thing about this platform is that it allows developers to connect their players. Rather than create single-player casino games, they can design titles that encourage players to interact using leader boards, gifts, competitions and social networks. “The industry is incredibly saturated, and developers are hungry for a way to differentiate their social casino titles,” says Flowplay CEO Derrick Morton.
“True innovation will come when developers expand beyond single-player slot games to offering unique, multiplayer titles that foster a truly social experience”. The first game to be released on this platform is Fringo, a social slots game developed by Joju Games. It features quite a simple format, with a fruit theme, but the real innovation comes from the social gaming features.
Players can rank themselves alongside their friends and other players on the app. There is also a unique bingo element which offers news ways for players to win prize. At the moment, the game is available online. It will be released on mobile gaming platforms like iOS and Android later in the year.
