Interactive ODOBO
Another two-man team working on the Odobo platform is Probability Jones, creators of table and dice games. The company's first game, Beat the Croupier, is a three dice/ community dice game in which both player and dealer get three rolls and three chances to match the dice to win. Imperial 7s is another unique table game from Probability Johns in which players compete against the dealer by matching combinations of 14 and 21 through five turns. For a small team such as Probability Johns, Odobo is currently the only route to market that enables them to focus on their niche and yet still provide their game for online distribution via HTML5. And from the operator's perspective, Odobo provides another set of niche games that previously would not have been on an operator's radar, as the inte- gration process for a single game would prove too large a disincentive.
Finally, Rabcat, a social and casual games developer, 9 4
Castle Builder is a great example of a small very successful game studio realising a business opportunity through Odobo's lower friction route to market.
has delivered with Castle Builder a game that's unlike anything out there right now. A new breed of five-reel slot that includes innovative level-based progress, Castle Builder is available for preview on
Odoboplay.com. The game is a five-reel video slot that includes a meta-game where players progress through a medieval landscape of 35 primary castles, accumulat- ing build symbols and acquiring building materials to progress towards completion of their castle. "There are
over 100 characters in the game," describes Mr. Lang of Castle Builders' gameplay. "Players can chose to be a prince or a princess, for example, whereby prizes are awarded for selected characters that unlock different achievements, level-up mechanics and meta-game mechanics. It was the most successful game ever released in the Austrian market for flash-based desktop play. Rabcat worked with us outside of Austria to create a HTML5 game right out of the gate. There's a very high level of creativity to Castle Builder, with a gambling core game and added creativity from the social/casual gaming sector. It's a great example of a medium-sized successful game development studio realising a business opportu- nity through Odobo's lower friction route to market."
Ultimately, Odobo vets the offers it receives from devel- opers to ensure that its resources are supporting the best prospective games. Each development is subject to Odobo's approval to allow developers to build on its plat-
