That's because the latest licensed brand to join the world of DoubleDown slots is none other than nerdom's quintessential role-playing franchise.

    What Zynga’s Internet gambling intentions says about 4th quarter earnings

    By

    It's official. According to AllThingsD, Zynga has confirmed that it is currently investigating getting into Internet gambling, assuming it is made legal (which it will be).It should come as no surprise that Zynga is seeking partners in Internet gambling. Zynga Poker is still the top poker game on Facebook, Zynga has announced plans to create a Zynga Casino suite of games, and there has been a lot of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity around social game companies that focus on casinos recently.What is surprising is that they are tipping their hand around this strategy, just a month after going IPO. Internet gambling still is illegal in the US and Zynga just went public with the intention of becoming the number company to play games, not to gamble. So, why the admission, when it would have been just as easy to play it coy?

    Monday Morning Quarterback: Forget freemium, it’s all about gambling in 2012!

    By

    Internet gambling (and perhaps gaming companies) got a huge present from Santa over the Christmas weekend, in the form of a Justice Department ruling that may open the door to legalizing Internet gambling.The Justice Department issued a legal opinion that the Wire Act of 1961, prohibiting wagering on telecommunication systems that cross state and national borders, does not apply to states selling lottery tickets to its citizens to adults within its own borders. Internet gambling is not yet legal, but the door is open. If you don't think this has an impact on the world on online and social gaming, then you're betting on the wrong horse.
