Bingo by GamePoint Launches on iPhone

THE HAGUE, December 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

GamePoint, the world's leading synchronous multiplayer social game developer, today announced it has launched Bingo by GamePoint, the mobile version of its hit game GamePoint Bingo, exclusively for iPhone. It joins a version for iPad that has been in open Beta for several months. The mobile counterpart to the game that has enthralled millions on Facebook canvas, GamePoint.com and a range of partner websites, was built and designed by the people that previously brought you GamePoint Bingo, RoyalDice, WordTornado and many others. By combining traditional gameplay with state-of-the-art social features including mass 500+ player chat and cross-game private messaging, Bingo by GamePoint recreates the lively atmosphere found in real bingo halls across the world.

"Our aim has always been offering a close simulation of the real bingo. Doing that on mobile has been a challenge resulting in over 2 years of development. With the help of a group of fanatical GamePoint Bingo players (thanks all!), we've managed to integrate almost all features the game has on web, while still presenting it in a package that makes sense on a mobile phone," says Amon Endt, CEO at GamePoint. "Admittedly, development took a bit longer than we had anticipated, but we feel that the product profited immensely from the time we put in."

Some unique features in Bingo by GamePoint

• Authentic Bingo gameplay (no crazy power-ups or arcade type mechanics)
• Play on up to 15 cards simultaneously
• Synchronous mass chat (up to 500 people per room, cross room private chat, cross game private chat) which resizes cards when opened, which allows for simultaneous chat AND gameplay
• An established, heavily engaged community of people that met, formed friendships, fell in love and even had children based on GamePoint Bingo's chat and interaction
• Multiple prizes per card per user (Won a line? Game's not finished: You might also win another prize or even prizes)
• Cross room, cross region Jackpot rounds (SuperBingos), that trigger after a pot is filled by users in dozens or even hundreds of rooms simultaneously

"Our hope is that users that now play our game on GamePoint.com or on Facebook canvas will find the time to play Bingo by GamePoint when they're on the road or find themselves without a pc. By connecting with Facebook, users can easily find their friends, exchange gifts and share their Bingo experiences with others." according to Rik Haandrikman, Director of Business Development. "We're confident that our current players will be able to experience all facets of the game they know and love on a new platform, while new players will find Bingo by GamePoint a truly unique bingo experience on a mobile phone."

Bingo by GamePoint is available for free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch or at http://www.appstore.com
