London-based development studio Jannio has released the first of title in its Sport Shotz games series exclusively on the Odobo Marketplace, with the game now live with Betfair.
The Sport Shotz suite of games combine in-play sports betting with a dice game format, with variable odds based on the outcome of the next point, the next goal or the next ball.
Glen Bullen, Odobo’s partner success manager, said: “Jannio has created a completely new game format that is typical of the innovation we look for in developers that join the Odobo Developer Program. We’re proud to be offering this suite of games exclusively via our Marketplace.”
Jannio had entered into an exclusive agreement with Odobo last June to provide a series of six sports-themed casino-style table games. These will be based on tennis, football, American football, cricket, golf and horseracing.
The first game to be released is Sport Shotz Tennis, with results decided by the roll of up to three dice with each one dictating a different element of how the point unfolds. Players can choose to play it safe or up the ante for higher payouts.
Jannio’s Neil Greenwold said that the developer chose to work with Odobo to capitalise on their experience working with HTML5 developers.
“These days, games are played across multiple devices so working with an industry expert was a critical component in that decision,” he said. “The launch of new table games are few and far between, launching one with a sports association are even fewer but that’s our USP – to establish the Sport Shotz brand that appeals to both casino and sportsbook customers.”
Sport Shotz Tennis is already live with Betfair, with the other five games in the series to be rolled out in the near future.
