KIWI SKILL GAMES DEBUT

Land and internet casino company launches new venture

Christchurch Casinos E-Gaming is a company familiar to online gamblers as the parent of Playtech-powered Kiwi Casino, Kiwi Bingo and Tiki Bingo but this week the company included the latest gambling fave in its offerings with the launch of KiwiSkill.

KiwiSkill is a New Zealand online gambling site where players bet against one another in a selection of skill-based games.

Instead of providing traditional online casino games such as poker and bingo, KiwiSkill enables players to compete in a selection of close to 100 games of skill.

"This is a very exciting time for us" commented a CCE spokesman. "Kiwi Skill has a diverse range of games such as Bejeweled, Trivia, Solitaire, Dynomite and many other popular titles which enable players to pit their skills against other players in real time tournaments or head to head play."

Skill gaming is a relatively new online gaming market that is seeing massive growth the world over. Its unprecedented popularity stems from its ease of use and ability for people to challenge their colleagues to a friendly game of skill online. Kiwi Skill players can play their favorite game in tournaments, head to head competitions or challenge other players from all over the world for cash prizes.

Kiwi Skill has a comprehensive 'Community' element were players can challenge each other to games, check out leader boards, post on the message forums, join VIP Tournaments or invite friends to play. Every time a player takes part in a game, whether they loose or win, they are awarded loyalty points which can be cashed in or swapped for prizes such as DVD players, TV's, notebook computers or gift certificates to name a few.

Cross marketing opportunities with both Christchurch's land and online casinos would appear to be a definite possibility.
