Jackpotjoy Launches a New and Improved Site!

LONDON, March 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackpotjoy, Gamesys' flagship site and one of the country's largest online soft gaming operators, have just launched a complete new look and feel to their seven-year-old site - and the reality is more than just a makeover.

The new site offers a brand new games lobby with more Bingo, a faster registration process, a sleek new look and places Gamesys in control of some market leading technology. You can tour the site by visiting http://www.jackpotjoy.com

To find out more about the new platform, we spoke to Gamesys Chief Operating Officer, Lee Fenton.

"We've always known that Jackpotjoy's strength is its community, so to help us build something the community would love we asked the members to share their vision of the perfect gaming site.

"Looking over the suggestions was a real thrill, but it was clear there were a few key points that everyone agreed on. Everyone wanted a site that was easier to use, everyone wanted more cheap Bingo and everyone wanted bigger Jackpots.

"I'm pleased to say, the new site's got it all!" For more info on what's new, visit: http://www.jackpotjoy.com/whatsnew

Adele Lawton, the newly appointed Head of Jackpotjoy, talks about some of the new features.

"We've got a brand new, easy to use Games Lobby that offers loads of new Bingo rooms, with more available during peak times. http://www.jackpotjoy.com/newlobby

"We're offering GBP1,000 a day in Guaranteed Free Bingo Jackpots, alongside even more great value Bingo, including 1p, 2p, and two 5p rooms. This puts us in a market leading position to cater for the lower spend players.

"Alongside the value product is a range of headline Star Jackpots, which include daily GBP1,000, weekly GBP3,000 and monthly GBP10,000 Guaranteed Jackpots. - http://www.jackpotjoy.com/starjackpots

"We're also offering more high-end Bingo Rooms, Linked Games and loads more. Picking from a more complete range, in a sleek new Lobby is going to be quite a thrill for the members."

And the best is yet to come promises Tom Hillary, Gamesys Technical Director.

"One of the major reasons that we stuck with the old site for such a long time - seven years is an eternity in the digital marketplace - is that I didn't want to reinvent the wheel just for the sake of it. I wanted the technology to be at a level that would allow us to make one significant move, and then return our focus to developing new features.

"The secret to the new technology is that it's incredibly easy to build on, which means that we'll be able to add features faster than anyone else in the marketplace.

"The new site, and particularly the platform it's built on, has made us future-proof."

Whatever the future holds for the self-proclaimed home to the best games and biggest jackpots, we're sure it'll be bright ...

GAMESYS

The Gamesys Group was founded by Noel Hayden in April 2001 with a small team of developers. The aim was to build a profitable online entertainment business providing Instant Win, Bingo and Casino games to a worldwide audience using proprietary gaming software.

After eight years, the Group's leading brand Jackpotjoy.com has built an audience of over 3,000,000 members and pays out in excess of GBP90 million every month. The success of Jackpotjoy.com has established the Gamesys Group as one of the UK's leading online gaming businesses. In 2006 they were named No. 1 in the Microsoft/Sunday Times Tech Track 100 League Table, and they're now one of only four companies to have appeared on the list four years in a row. This feat reflects both the company's capacity for sustained growth and its remarkable resilience during periods of financial instability.
