Mahjong Time says its recent deal with 343 Sports Group in China will give the company’s community-based mahjong game a firm foothold in that market.
Mahjong Time says the deal means marrying its skills as an innovative provider of online mahjong gaming software and turnkey solutions with 343 Sports Group’s market knowledge and market coverage.
343 Sports Group offers Chinese-language sports, lottery, and entertainment content and services to a global audience. Its website has comprehensive soccer coverage and real-time updates for a variety of sports as well as popular forums and chat topics.
The community mahjong games on offer under the deal are tournament-style four-player mahjong using both the popular Chinese Official and Hong Kong rules sets. Mahjong Time says advanced features of 343’s customised game include an avatar shop, where players can choose and develop a character to represent them online; ‘friend’ lists, and inter-player chat.
“We are very pleased with the entire process of developing and implementing our mahjong game with Mahjong Time,” said Leo Ma, Vice President of 343 Sports Group in a prepared statement.
“The implementation was performed very quickly and Mahjong Time was able to satisfy all of our customisation requests. Our site visitors are very mahjong savvy, and we are certain that our mahjong game will provide these visitors with the real mahjong experience they demand,” added Mr Ma.
“We are excited to have 343’s site live, and joining our ever growing network of sites,” added William Sutjiadi, CEO of Mahjong Time.
“With our custom full-service solution, we provide our licensees with the front end design and functionality and back-end reporting power they need to ensure player satisfaction and revenue growth,” added Mr Sutjiadi.
