PUSH THE BUTTON AND PLAY: SPIN3 TO OFFER REVOLUTIONARY KI-BI CARD TECHNOLOGY
LONDON, UK, October 18 2006 Spin3 (www.spin3.com), the leading wireless casino system provider powered by Microgaming, the world’s largest online gaming software provider, today announced that it will be distributing the Ki-Bi card technology, recently acquired by Spiral Solutions Ltd. Spin3 will offer the technology to its customers alongside Microgaming’s GameWire, SpinFone and SpinLite wireless casino systems, as a complimentary content distribution tool.
Those attending 3GSM Asia (www.3gsmasia.com) can visit the Spin3 booth to pick up a Tomb Raider® branded Ki-Bi card created especially for the show. The card contains free mobile content including the networked Tomb Raider Video Slot linking players to an online competition. Players can view their results against other competitors via the online scoreboard. The player with the highest score at the end of 3GSM Asia will win an iPod nano. Players will also have the chance to download popular Spin3 mobile casino style games such as Black Jack and Roulette using this unique technology.
By adding the Ki-Bi card technology to its already comprehensive offering, Spin3 will cement its position as a total wireless casino solutions provider. Spin3 will make the product available to all existing and new customers, who can use Ki-Bi cards to easily distribute any mobile content including, mobile games, video, ringtones, wallpaper and music.
The Ki-Bi card is a unique solution for physical distribution and marketing of mobile phone content and applications. The Ki-Bi card is an attractive, eye-catching marketing tool, with buttons on it corresponding to different mobile content. The card is versatile and transmits mobile content instantly to a mobile phone by transmitting acoustic signatures. Using a mobile phone, consumers in possession of a card dial a number printed on the front of the card, follow the voice message, and then select the content they want by pressing a button on the card. The acoustic signals transmitted by the card transfer content immediately to the handset.
“The acquisition of the unique Ki-Bi card technology is another step forward for Spin3 in the wireless casino solutions arena,” said Matti Zinder, CEO, Spin3. “We already hold the exclusive mobile rights to Microgaming’s GameWire software, for an exciting casino experience on mobile phones. The Ki-Bi card is another distribution tool for our customers, offering a fun experience to the end consumer whilst making mobile content transfer even easier.”
