26-06-2006 PartyGaming officially launches its new backgammon product, PartyGammon.com

Known as the 'game of kings', backgammon is one of the world's most popular games and one of its oldest, with variants dating back more than 5,000 years. PartyGaming has now brought this history to the modern world of the internet, enabling its customers to play for free or for cash a variety of backgammon versions, including Hypergammon and Nackgammon.

"The launch of backgammon, a truly international game of skill, is a natural evolutionary step in our strategy to become the global gaming portal of choice," commented Mitch Garber, CEO of PartyGaming. "We are very pleased to add it to our portfolio of games."
