ZEBEDEE, a bitcoin-powered payment processing system for the gaming industry, and VIKER, a mobile game studio pioneering the play-to-earn space, have announced the launch of two additional games in their repertoire of Bitcoin titles.
Bitcoin Chess (iOS and Android) and Bitcoin Scratch (iOS and Android) are now available in both app stores. The companies have previously paired up and launched other bitcoin games, including Sudoku and Solitaire.
“While Bitcoin Chess is quite self-explanatory, Bitcoin Scratch is a more approachable concept, where players receive a pack of scratch cards, with a chance to earn Bitcoins if the cards have the right combination,” said a release sent to Bitcoin. Magazine.
In terms of how the company can sustainably provide bitcoin to players who play the game, “Essentially, the player receives a share of revenue from the game, which means that VIKER splits what they earn from the game with the player,” the release said. “This creates another experience that works for players, leading to more retention and ultimately makes the game more profitable, despite showing revenue. This is not a large amount of money, but the players earn a few cents per session, which makes the concept sustainable.
Dan Beasley, co-founder of VIKER, expressed whether the company would choose to work with ZEBEDEE and implement a payment platform that, he said “In the end, implementing rewards with the ZEBEDEE platform is not about players getting money, it’s about making it more interesting and enjoyable experience. Because getting this small reward just feels good, no matter if it’s a small amount that won’t affect many people’s lives… But at the same time, the real money you get is just for fun. So if you can play chess and earn Bitcoin, why will you play the version without it?
Ben Cousens, Chief Strategy Officer at ZEBEDEE explained that they should not focus on Bitcoiners as a single audience, explaining that “This game has a huge global audience that usually does not care about Bitcoin. And we do not ask them. It is very easy to set up a ZEBEDEE account , connect to VIKER game and withdraw Bitcoin to your ZEBEDEE app.
According to the release, the two game companies have been quietly preparing for the next launch, which is promised to be “even more influential, as it will add the most famous franchise to the portfolio.”
Interested users will just have to wait and see – but they can get started with Bitcoin Chess and Bitcoin Scratch now by downloading the ZEBEDEE app.
