888 Rides the Wave with Social Casino Games

Facebook is widely perceived to be the ideal platform for enjoying social casino games on the web. And the popularity of these types of games was given a much-needed boost after Facebook stocks recently tanked in the US. 888 Holdings - the premier online gaming company - has signed on with Facebook to provide players with real money casino and bingo games online.

News of this agreement bolstered the online gaming giant and stock prices shot up on the back of the agreement. 888 offers players a Play for Fun' Facebook service and it's wildly popular with gaming fans. At present, 888 provides players with the option to buy gaming tokens to be used to play social games online. 

Analysts for the gaming giant are hoping that when the lucrative online gaming market opens up, the foundation will already be laid to switch over to real-money gaming. The wide variety of social games on tablets, iPads, Androids and other devices bodes well for a future easing of restrictions on gaming. 888 is gearing up for what can possibly be a windfall return when play-money gamers can become real-money players.

The share price at 888 shot up from 9p on the LSE to 118.25p on the back of this exciting development.  With a rapidly filling database of social casino game players, 888 is optimistic about the future of real-money social games.
