Monday, GamArena operator Jadestone Networks announced its cooperation with Nordic game operator Paf as a launch partner for its new online-gaming venue DiceArena.
Jadestone Networks projects that, as an online casino specializing in dice games, DiceArena’s range of novel, multiplayer games will draw players away from many other Internet-gambling sites. To date, the company has put two years into the games’ development, and has already released information on four of its upcoming offerings.
Foremost of the games Jadestone has released teasers for is Dice Hold’em. The game features a two- to six-player table at which players roll two “pocket dice” then attempt to make the best hand using five community dice rolled by the computerized dealer. Just like classic Hold’em the game welds chance with betting dynamics, but unlike its card-based cousin, Dice Hold’em offers the added plus of a dice-based game’s increased player edge.
The other three games planned to premier on DiceArena’s day one include Shoot the Moons, classic Backgammon and “Pirates of the Caribbean-style” Liar’s Dice—a game similar to old-fashioned Bull$h!#. Meanwhile, DiceArena adds to the attraction with a player community in which subscribers can create their own personalized avatars to represent them in chatrooms and at the tables. The avatars are slightly reminiscent of Wii Miis - begging the question of whether the company also plans to launch home platform-based access to the network.
Paf Business Manager Tomas Nilsson said “We’ve enjoyed working with many Jadestone products over the years, but DiceArena is the most exciting concept we’ve seen yet. We believe that our customers will respond very well to the inviting design and the immediate appeal of the games. This is like poker for the rest of us – with a smile. The design matches our target groups and aligns very well with our brand.”
As one of the first wave of DiceArena partners, Paf will launch the online network this quarter in the Scandinavian market. Jadestone then plans to expand the network with other partners beginning next year.
