Hong Kong-based gaming technology company TGG has announced a new partnership agreement with leading Japan-based pachinko gaming studio Prime Works.
Prime Works is the first Japan-based gaming studio to have joined the HIRO platform, a turnkey solution developed by TGG to create an open gaming marketplace that connects game developers and the lucrative global casino gaming markets. Since 2008 Prime Works has ranked among Japan’s top pachinko design companies with game studios in Tokyo and Osaka.
In partnership with TGG, Prime Works’ game designers will team up with TGG’s engineers to bring elite Japanese gaming creations to the global, real-money gaming market on the HIRO platform and release them along the TGG global casino distribution network.
“TGG’s commitment to fostering innovation in electronic casino gaming has been significantly strengthened by teaming up with our very first partner from Japan and a 10-year Japan gaming veteran in the pachinko gaming creation sector,” said Raymond Chan, TGG’s co-founder and CEO. “The quality of Japanese game creations and the added capabilities they offer will enable TGG to more effectively meet the needs of the casino gaming industry at large.”
With the recent announcement concerning the legalizing of casinos by Japan’s parliament, the Japanese casino gaming market offers enormous potential with investment bank CLSA estimating that Japan could emerge as a US$40 billion a year gaming market.
