Zone 4 Play Launches a Leading Edge Multi-Player Blackjack Tournaments Solution
WILMINGTON, Delaware, October 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Zone 4 Play, Inc. ("Zone4Play" or the "Company") (OTCBB: ZFPI), a developer of interactive software and technology for the betting and gaming industry, announced today it has completed the development of its Multiplayer Blackjack tournaments application. The new product, which was developed in house by Zone4Play over the past 18 months is the Company's online flag ship product and is the subject to a pending patent application.
Zone 4 Play is pleased to introduce a significant step change to the traditional online Blackjack tournament format. Blackjack is believed to be the next 'killer' internet gaming application, following the intense interest in hugely successful Poker format which has captivated the online gaming community over the last 3 years. Zone4Play's Blackjack tournaments are single and multi table events where two to five players are seated at one multi player table allowing 24/7 access for competitive blackjack players.
The new product is the first on the market to combine a full range of multiplayer Blackjack games: - Multi table Sit & Go tournaments - Single table Sit & Go Tournaments - Heads-Up Blackjack - Blackjack Shootout tournaments - Daily Blackjack special tournaments - all in one user-friendly lobby.
Idan Miller, SVP of marketing and sales at Zone4Play commented:
"Once again we have developed a best-of-breed solution which is ready to be offered to our corporate client base. We are extremely excited about the potential growth of Blackjack as a multi-player online gaming application. Clearly, multiplayer Poker has driven tremendous growth in terms of online gaming penetration and we see no reason why Blackjack will not replicate this success."
