GamePoint’s first iPad Game: Bingo Royale
Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 17:18
With the launch of its first game for iOS, GamePoint marks a new milestone in its cross platform strategy. The game titled Bingo Royale is an iPad version of GamePoint’s most popular game on the web: Bingo.
The future of gaming
Over the past decades a lot has changed in the way we play games. Back in the old days you had to go and look for a few friends to play with in a bar, or even pay a visit to your family in order to play a game. With the introduction of online and now even mobile gaming, today you can just log on from anywhere and play a game against someone anywhere in the world. Too bad for Fred the local bartender or your grandmother. You don’t need them anymore.
Since 1998 GamePoint has been one of the companies at the base of changing the way people play games. Launching Bingo Royale for iPad is another milestone for the company, adding a new distribution platform to serve its players.
Play everywhere
GamePoint Bingo fans love to play Bingo with their GamePoint friends. The iPad version of the game enables Bingo fans to play Bingo everywhere. The possibilities are endless: play on your couch, in your favorite bar or cafe or even when visiting family. All you need is your iPad and a stable internet connection. So don’t worry you can still stay in touch with grandma and Fred the bartender if you like.
Get the app
Bingo Royale is now available in Apple’s Appstore and can be downloaded for free, just click here.
