1X2gaming launches virtual sports game

ware company 1X2gaming has released a new virtual sports betting game, available via HTML5.

Chief marketing officer Kevin Reid said: “At 1X2 there is a shared belief that football betting should never stop, players should always have a football product available to wager on."

HTML5 games have quicker and smoother load times than their Flash counterparts and should run seamlessly on mobile devices.

Reid said: “Integrating a proven product and making it available to mobile users is another pioneering step for us in the virtual sports niche. As a gaming vertical there are not many options on this medium, and as we did with the original Virtual Football back in 2002, we are excited to be at the forefront of mobile development.

1X2gaming hopes its product will fit between the casino and sport area and help move customers between the verticals, extending their session times.

"Players are constantly looking for fun and exciting games while waiting for the next sporting event, and with our tournament specific games, they can get their football fix from wherever they are 24 hours a day, while operators can also make the most of dual screen activity," said Reid.
