Collectible Card Game Fans Draft Their Decks in Dynasty Football, Online Strategy Card Game from FlowPlay

Creator of the Most Robust Set of Free-to-Play Social Sports Wagering Games Invites Players to the Gridiron for Head-to-Head Card Matches

Creator of the Most Robust Set of Free-to-Play Social Sports Wagering Games Invites Players to the Gridiron for Head-to-Head Card Matches

SEATTLE, Nov. 1, 2016 -- FlowPlay, creator of the most powerful immersive gaming platform, today announced the launch of Dynasty Football, an online fantasy football strategy card game. Created for fantasy football fans and collectible card game enthusiasts alike, Dynasty Football combines the real-world stats and player drafting mechanics of fantasy football with the excitement of head-to-head card matches. As the fifth social sports wagering game from FlowPlay, Dynasty Football rounds out the industry's most robust suite of free-to-play fantasy sports-based games.

Fans get ready to dominate the league, crush the competition and become a legend at DynastyFootball.com. Also be sure to check out the gameplay trailer at bit.ly/DynastyFootballGameplay.

Players draft their decks from a set of more than 350 cards in this fast-paced, head-to-head card game designed to simulate a virtual football game. Just like football, the goal is to advance the ball toward the opponent's end zone and score a touchdown. Using 30-card offensive and defensive decks, players devise strategies to build an unstoppable passing offense or the ultimate shutdown defense.

Secure a winning record in Dynasty Football by mastering the gameplay features, including:

Build a Team: Essential in the drafting of 7-card hands, Player cards feature a Fantasy Value based on the player's real-world stats from the 2015 season. Cards span offensive and defensive positions such as Quarterback and Defensive Lineman.
Win a Down: Similar to rock-paper-scissors, each player position trumps one position, is neutral to another, and it trumped by a third position. The winning formula is simple – if the Player card trumps the opponent's card, the down is won. If the two cards are neutral, the higher Fantasy Value triumphs.
Make a Big Play: If the Player card both trumps and has higher Fantasy Value than the opponent's, a Big Play results. On offense this means double the yard gain, while on defense this means a loss of yards for the offense.
Power Up: Power cards represent game-changing plays, abilities and strategies such as interceptions, timeouts and formations.
Expand the Bench: By winning games and completing daily challenges, players earn virtual currency to purchase new card packs.

"Collectible card games have become increasingly popular over the last two years, and we saw an opportunity to bring our expertise in casual fantasy sports games to this growing market," said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. "Dynasty Football brings together the fun of fantasy and strategy of digital card games into a one-of-a-kind, social experience."

FlowPlay is the definitive leader in social sports wagering, with the industry's most robust set of free-to-play fantasy sports-based games. Dynasty Football joins FlowPlay's suite of titles alongside Vegas World Sports Book, 5 Card Draft, All Star Daily Fantasy and Ready Set Bet. All games can be played in FlowPlay's flagship massively multiplayer online game (MMO), Vegas World.

Ready Set Bet Kicks Off This Football Season, Offers Fans Real-Time Sports Betting Experience

FlowPlay Launches New Social Sports Game Offering Players Live Gameplay During Their Favorite Sporting Events

FlowPlay Launches New Social Sports Game Offering Players Live Gameplay During Their Favorite Sporting Events

SEATTLE, Sept. 13, 2016 -- FlowPlay, creator of the most powerful immersive gaming platform, today announced the launch of its first real-time sports betting game for the start of the 2016 professional football season. The free-to-play game, Ready Set Bet, allows players to get in on the action of their favorite sport and bet on plays in real-time, breaking the barriers of current daily fantasy sports (DFS) offerings. Available in FlowPlay's flagship social casino, Vegas World, players can place a bet on any drive in progress during all live professional football games, with the chance to win a virtual payout after each completed drive.

With 57.4 million North Americans projected to play fantasy sports this year (FSTA), fans are eager to become a part of the game and make predictions on the plays that lead their favorite teams to victory. While traditional fantasy sports experiences only allow fans to hand pick their 'perfect' team, there are very few legal alternatives that allow for more frequent bets and on more than just game outcomes. With live sports viewership and the popularity of fantasy play both growing (FSTA), fans are beginning to seek out these alternative options that allow them to place bets as the game unfolds.

"The current landscape of fantasy football in the U.S. allows for weekly, at most daily options to place sports bets. Armchair quarterbacks everywhere now have a third option to make proposition bets in real-time as they watch games live," said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. "While the pay-off may not be real-money, Ready Set Bet does leave plenty of room for bragging rights and, for the first time, truly connects fantasy friends from around the world in one place online to also brag in real-time."

Ready Set Bet offers gameplay betting based on the current drive or play for professional sports leagues, currently including football and baseball. Players can join at any point during a live game to place their bet as innings or drives take place. Bets are paid out with virtual currency and points are determined throughout the game, with the player with the most points at the end of the game declared the winner. One feature that sets Ready Set Bet apart from other betting tools are 'lightning bets,' which encourage players to bet on rapid gameplay situations that pop up throughout a game such as a fourth and short ruling or a challenge on the field. Originally launched as an exclusive preview for the Richard Sherman Celebrity Softball Game, Ready Set Bet will expand to include all professional sports as they are in season.

To calculate the outcome of gameplay, FlowPlay created a proprietary algorithm determining odds based on hundreds of thousands of situational data points for each sport. Ready Set Bet is the latest example of FlowPlay's innovation in the social sport space, based on the company's industry leading suite of offerings including All Star Daily Fantasy, 5 Card Draft and Vegas World Sportsbook. All free-to-play sports betting games are playable at VegasWorld.com.

Vegas World Players Unite to Give Back to U.S. Veterans

Latest FlowPlay In-Game Charity Fundraiser Raises $20,000 to Support Homes for Our Troops

SEATTLE, July 28, 2016 -- FlowPlay, creator of the most powerful immersive gaming platform, today announced that its most recent in-game giving campaign resulted in a donation of $20,000 for Homes for Our Troops, a non-profit organization that provides Veterans with mortgage-free specially adapted homes to help them readjust into society. More than 30,000 players in FlowPlay's flagship social casino Vegas World participated in the month-long campaign, which was designed to help fund construction of new homes for U.S. Veterans.

Since early 2015, FlowPlay has tapped into its dedicated player base to conduct numerous in-game fundraising campaigns, raising a total of nearly $100,000 for non-profits. The campaigns have supported a range of causes, including STEM education for young girls and free transportation to treatment appointments for cancer patients. The Homes for Our Troops fundraiser reached the milestone of more than 600,000 uniquely branded Vegas World charms purchased to date for non-profit fundraising.

"When FlowPlay approached our organization to host a fundraiser, we were happy to have them on board," said Monica Sweeney, Community Fundraising Coordinator. "Their support will assist us in providing severely injured Veterans with specially adapted homes, allowing them to regain their independence and rebuild their lives."

As a result of a month-long campaign that kicked off over the July Fourth holiday weekend, players purchased more than 100,000 exclusive home-themed charms, for which 100 percent of the proceeds were donated directly to Homes for Our Troops. Coming together to support a great cause, the Vegas World community created more than 700 in-game parties requiring the purchase of the branded charm to participate.

"From the start of this campaign, we knew the Vegas World community was going to fully embrace this cause, as it was one our players have repeatedly expressed a passion for," said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. "The ongoing support and enthusiasm from our players drives us to continue partnering with great organziations like Homes for Our Troops to help rebuild the lives of those who serve and protect our country."

About Homes for Our Troops

Homes for Our Troops (HFOT) is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds specially adapted, mortgage-free homes nationwide for the most severely injured Veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of these veterans have sustained life-altering injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives. Since its founding in 2004, nearly 90 cents of every dollar donated to HFOT has gone directly to our program services for veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to live, and continues its relationship with the Veterans after home delivery to assist them with rebuilding their lives.

Bringing More Than 20 Years of Industry Experience, Granick Will Make First Appearance as FlowPlay's Scientist-in-Residence During Casual Connect USA Panel

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 2016 -- CASUAL CONNECT USA -- FlowPlay, creator of the most powerful immersive gaming platform, today announced the appointment of OpenFL founder and managing director Joshua Granick as scientist-in-residence. In this platform development and evangelist role, Granick will work to support the growth and evolution of FlowPlay's platform, while continuing to support OpenFL as managing director. Seattle-based FlowPlay recently transitioned its mobile products to OpenFL, and plans to transfer its entire gaming portfolio and future development to the engine.

Backed by more than 20 years of deep developer experience, Granick has held roles spanning major corporations including Intel, HP/Palm and Blackberry, as well as numerous independent game studios. Driven by a passion for development and problem-solving, Granick created OpenFL to improve the quality of immersive experiences and accelerate development time for companies building 2D projects. Going forward, his work with OpenFL will include spearheading new features and serving as a strategic adviser for the more than 300,000 mobile game developers using the open-source, cross-platform engine.

"Thousands of games, technologies and industries are already using OpenFL, and it's a perfect fit to enable FlowPlay's future development plans," Granick said. "By transitioning to OpenFL, FlowPlay has increased the versatility of the company's multiplayer platform while accelerating development times and freeing up more resources to focus on new innovation. I'm eager to become a part of that process and help raise awareness on how OpenFL can help other developers in the casual games industry."

OpenFL uses the Haxe compiler to create HTML5, Flash and native Android, iOS, Windows, Mac or Linux games. OpenFL can also be used for console targets, including PS4, Xbox One and Wii U. The open-source framework is continually growing based on the innovations from a dedicated community of developers who work to strengthen its code and ease-of-use. While primarily designed for 2D game development, the engine can be used across a variety of applications to make it the most flexible codebase to build games on. FlowPlay's transition to the engine will demonstrate the flexibility and performance capabilities OpenFL can enable for the broader casual gaming industry.

"OpenFL and the open-source community created an engine that produces the quality, speed and versatility other engines cannot replicate or compete against," said Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay. "Granick took the time to build an engine for developers and by developers, and offers the industry an intuitive solution to handle the many challenges game creators face on a daily basis. He is an important addition to our team as we look to expand and advance our gaming platform."

Granick will be speaking at Casual Connect USA in San Francisco on a panel Wednesday, July 20 at 11:00am PDT titled, "From Haxe to Unity – What Engines and Code Should Be Powering Your Game." The panel will also feature John Eliot, Technical Director at Unity Technologies, Oleg Pridiuk, Evangelist at King, and will be moderated by Craig Robinson, VP Mobile Games at FlowPlay.
