Gibraltar provider acquires mobile technology firm

Mobile technology specialist Mfuse will soon become part of the Gibraltar-based Nektan online and social gambling provider group, extending the company’s capabilities across several sectors.

Nektan operates mainly in regulated online and mobile markets, developing and integrating a range of products for online and mobile operators, and exploiting convergence opportunities between social gaming and online and mobile gambling.

The provider’s products are platform agnostic and can be played across a range of devices including PC, tablets, smartphones, betting terminals and iTV and more, with a key selling point being flexible and straightforward integration with existing platforms on websites, social networks and white label enterprises.

Nektan’s product line includes games like Sklots and scratchcards whilst subsidiary St Endellion provides lottery products and services.

William Hill Online recently introduced Nektan’s “Show Me The Bunny” a hybrid skill/slot game to its online casino punters, offering them a cross-platform web and mobile experience (see previous InfoPowa report).

Mfuse will give the company greater scope, offering wide experience and associations with major companies in the mobile gambling sector, along with technology suitable for providing large numbers of concurrent users with feature-rich content.

The UK company was founded in 2002 and has established a sound reputation in the mobile field.
