New Skill Games Offered

Since online casino gambling can have many drawbacks like addiction, abuse of the system, and more, some countries are instead choosing to offer games of skill. A Belgian newspaper, Het Nieuwsblad, is now offering games of skill on its online Web site. Unlike online casinos, this site offers simply games, no betting involved. The newspaper has developed a distribution agreement with GameArena AB, and in the future both companies plan on expanding the site’s offerings.

Some of the next generation skill games offered include: Backgammon, Solitaire, 8-Ball Pool, and Golf Hole-in-One. This is just the start though. Corelio Media Group is the parent company to the newspaper, and has given full approval for future plans that include a Web site that uses the newspaper’s brand, and GamArena’s skill based games. The sites are a far cry from the glitzy online casinos sites offered in other counties, but both companies believe they will have a strong player base as advertising and word-of-mouth continue.

Nieuwsblad.be’s Managing Director, Patrick Salien, commented on the partnership, “Games will become an important piece of our online offering and p2p skill games provide enormous entertainment to players. We have been really impressed by the quality of the GamArena proposition to date.” The newspaper company thoroughly supports this non-online casino platform, and both Nieuwsblad and GamArena are excited about the growth prospects.
