Groove partners KA Gaming; enhances Asian iGaming content with 400 titles

Online casino platform and aggregator GrooveGaming has had “an injection” of new content from Samoa-based games studio KA Gaming after adding the Asian casino software developer’s portfolio of nearly 400 titles to its game library. Mutually beneficial, the supply agreement reinforces Groove’s Asian content while at the same time the Apia-headquartered studio gains access to “key” European, African and South American markets.

In keeping with its demanding publishing schedule of 10-plus games per month, in May alone, the developer has released six games, including Hunter Helibu, Bigfoot Yeti, Dragon Boat2Lock 2 Spin, Solomon’s Treasure, Fantasy Dragons and GO GO Magic Dog.

Global Appeal:

Founded in 2014 or 2016, depending on the source, KA Gaming is one of Asia’s largest digital game providers and based on its diverse portfolio,  engaging narratives and immersive gameplay has “carved out an outstanding international reputation.” And, in addition to online, the studio has since its inception published a number of slots games for mobile and land-based casino markets.

The Asian developer has also released fish/shooting games and currently has 18 of the globally popular games in its fast-growing portfolio, which supports more than 100 currencies, including numerous cryptocurrencies. KA Gaming’s slots also reportedly have an average RTP of 96 percent, making them attractive to players globally and in demand with operators in a multitude of regions for their range that spans hundreds of slots and fish games, as well as baccarat, super video poker and super keno.

KA Gaming’s team reportedly has more than three decades of slots games development experience and is advantageously placed to grow the range of its games, adding more unique titles along with others that provide players symbols, setting and features that are familiar…

…like those in Fu Shenlong, Fortune Ganesha, Monkey Maniac, King of Dragon, Treasure Tiger Golden Bull, Bonus Mania, Treasure Bowl and Luck 88; inventive fish-shooting games such as 1942, King Octopus, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Poseidon’s Secret, Fishing Expedition, Golden Dragon and KA Fish Hunter, alongside others that reside among the leading gambling categories in Asia.

Fish Shooting Games:

Based on a deceptively simple but immersive play mechanic, the way fish shooting games work is a group of players who use currency cannons to shoot fish to earn rewards. The last shot sees players claim the total reward they have invested in that fish. All of the players shoot at the same pool of fish with cannons that are positioned on various sides of the game screen. Players are challenged with the dilemma of whether to shoot a small fish, which will earn them fewer rewards, or a larger fish for bigger rewards. Another challenge is keeping an eye on the fish to determine whether it has just entered the screen or is making its way out of the screen.

Lucrative Proposition:

In a recent press release, Yahale Meltzer, Chief Operating Officer for Groove said…

“There’s no doubt that everyone in the industry will find something that they can align with and make money from in our game library, which has just had an injection of new content from KA Gaming. The Groove brand is synonymous with quickly seeing opportunities and we’re delighted to work with an enterprising game developer like KA Gaming who brings a lot to the table.”

Diverse & Expansive Library:

GrooveGaming, meanwhile, is powered by innovative technology that enables operators to activate a range of features that further enhance customer experience and engagement, as well as improving retention, encouraging extended play and producing a higher yield.

The aggregator’s collection of games continues to grow and encompasses everything from time-proven classics to the latest releases, and has since its founding in 2016, become one of the industry’s biggest content platforms, with over 5,000 games, ranging from slots, online casinos and live casino and sportsbook, to table games and poker, from 60-plus providers. Groove continues to add to its vast games portfolio at an accelerated rate via partnerships similar to the one with KA Gaming, which will reportedly see the addition of more than 100 titles this year.

“Groove is an important distribution channel and we are pleased to reinforce their Asian content while gaining access through them to key European, African and South American markets. We’re interested to see how our fish games fare and anticipate that the thematics in our slots will give operators and players something different that is attuned to the fast-paced evolution of the market,” read a statement from Daniel Huang, Chief Executive Officer for KA Gaming.
