ZEBEDEE, a bitcoin-based payment processing system for the gaming industry, and VIKER, a pioneering mobile game studio in the play-to-win space, have announced the launch of two additional games to their portfolio of Bitcoin titles.
Bitcoin Chess (iOS Y Android) and Bitcoin Scratch (iOS Y Android) are now available on the two respective app stores. The companies have previously paired up with and released other bitcoin-powered games, including Sudoku and Solitaire.
“While Bitcoin Chess is self-explanatory, Bitcoin Scratch is an even more accessible concept, where players receive packs of scratch cards, with the chance to win Bitcoin if the cards have the correct combos,” the statement sent to Bitcoin. Magazine.
In terms of how the company can sustainably provide bitcoins to gamers who play, “Essentially, players receive a share of the revenue from the game, which means that VIKER splits what they earn from the game with the player,” says the release. “This creates a more engaging experience for players, which leads to better retention and ultimately makes the game more profitable, despite the revenue share. However, these are not large amounts of money, since players earn a few cents per session, which is what makes the concept sustainable.
Dan Beasley, co-founder of VIKER, explained why the company would choose to work with ZEBEDEE and implement its payment platform, saying, “Ultimately, implementing rewards with the ZEBEDEE platform is not about players earning money, it’s about create a more interesting and fun environment”. experience. Because earning these little rewards just feels great, regardless of whether it’s small amounts that won’t materially affect most people’s lives… But at the same time, it’s real money that you earn just for having fun. So when you can play chess and get Bitcoin, why would you play a version without it?
Ben Cousens, chief strategy officer at ZEBEDEE, explained that they weren’t necessarily trying to target Bitcoiners as their only audience, explaining that “These games have a massive global audience that mostly doesn’t care about Bitcoin. And we’re not asking you to do it. It is extremely easy to set up a ZEBEDEE account, connect it to VIKER games and withdraw Bitcoin to your ZEBEDEE app.”
According to the statement, the two gaming firms are already quietly preparing for their next release, which they promise will be “even more impactful as they add the first well-known franchise to their portfolio.”
