Video-game gambling machine (VGM) innovator GameCo LLC has formed a licensing partnership with Etermax around the hit trivia game Trivia Crack.
Trivia Crack has accumulated more than 500 million downloads thanks to its challenging and fun trivia puzzles. Since its launch, Trivia Crack has ranked No. 1 for trivia games in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil and more than 125 other countries across both iOS and Android. The game is available in more than 180 countries and 34 languages, and across multiple platforms, including Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
GameCo’s Trivia Crack Video Game Gambling Machines are expected make their debut in late 2020. Similar to the mobile game, players will spin a wheel, which is split up into trivia categories like Arts, Science, Sports, Entertainment, Geography and History, with the objective to obtain all six characters on the wheel by answering the questions correctly.
GameCo’s Trivia Crack VGM will also feature competitive esports-style tournaments with GameCo’s proprietary Multiplayer Arena technology.
“Etermax’s Trivia Crack is one of the most popular trivia games in the world and we’re thrilled to bring fans a brand-new way to play it at casinos, in a challenging trivia experience where they can earn real cash,” said Rich Maryyanek, of global business development at GameCo. “We are always looking to bring new experiences to casino players, and a trivia based game where you can play solo, head-to-head, or take part in tournaments allows people to test their wit like never before while having a chance to win big money.”
VGMs combine video games with gambling to allow a player’s skill to affect the payout and winnings while maintaining the same casino economics as slot machines.
