Zynga’s Bringing Farmville to Online Gambling

Shortly after firing about 150 people, Zynga has even better news for investors. It’s getting into a sure-thing moneymaker, online gambling.

Gamasutra said on Thursday that Zynga saw a decent bump in its stock price after revealing plans long hinted at. They’re getting into a partnership with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment, an Austrian online gaming operator. Rumors about them making the Boku casino list is circulating, this would be grand news for time. Plans include “a slots simulator based on [Zynga’s] Farmville,” says Gamasutra, and that it’s just one step toward a bigger presence in gambling for Zynga.

Considering how many people just straight up don’t come back to play a social game after the first time they try it, and that 90 percent don’t last a month, this is probably a shrewd move. Still doesn’t mean they make anything I wanna play. If you’re looking for a great online site for sports betting and online gambling, check out agent sbobet.
