Mahjong Arrives at the Online Casino

Mahjong Mania is a subsidiary of Events International Holding Corporation. It's the only company in the world that designs and develops online casino software that enables players to play Mahjong for actual money. The company plans to license their software to online casinos and sports betting networks all over the internet.

Skill gaming and Mahjong in particular represent the new breed of games. Adriaan Brink, President of Mahjong Mania, envisions that Mahjong stands to share the same kind success that poker has in the long run, saying online poker was nascent in 2000, and look at it now. Skill-based online Mahjong could soon emulate and possibly even overtake Poker in terms of numbers of players and money wagered.

By offering Mahjong games, gambling site operators are mainly targeting Asians. The Asian market has long been a coveted destination for the online casino industry which hasn't been successful in penetrating it. China alone has more than 90 million internet users, which could translate into millions of potential gamblers. Mahjong Mania has already licensed their software to several online casinos, including the Betex Network.
