23-01-2007 William Hill launches skill gaming site

The site developed in partnership with GameAccount is available in seven languages and 11 currencies, and offers games such as multi-player blackjack, gin rummy and backgammon in different game-play formats, including cash games, non-stop tournaments, money-added scheduled tournaments, guaranteed prize money tournaments, qualifier tournaments and regular scheduled freeroll tournaments.

Kevin Dale, CEO of GameAccount, commented: "We are delighted to have launched our skill games with William Hill. They are a British gaming institution and key global brand. Our products are proven to generate per-player value comparable with and incremental to existing Poker services, and clearly these economics and product stability were decisive factors. Teaming with William Hill is confirmation of our belief that the right Skill Gaming derivatives are serious contenders in the remote gaming space".
