LONDON, July 22, 2010-- Zuma Slots, the latest release from the Gamesys / PopCap partnership, has
just been launched on Jackpotjoy and its partner sites. The game is based on
PopCap's award winning 2004 puzzle game and offers members of Gamesys
flagship site the chance to search for riches amidst a South American jungle
landscape.
Zuma Slots is based on PopCap's famous Zuma puzzle game, where players
try to eliminate a snake-like chain of coloured balls by firing other
coloured balls from the mouth of a stone frog. Sound too surreal to be true?
Probably, but then so do a lot of classic games.
The new Zuma Slot doesn't have coloured balls but it does feature a
number of the original game's characters alongside the chance to win a
healthy cash prize. For more info on Zuma Slots please click here: https://www.jackpotjoy.com/games/zuma-slots
"Working with the Zuma characters has been a really exciting experience,"
explains Adele Lawton, head of Jackpotjoy. "I know quite a few of the
designers and programmers around the office were on a real nostalgic buzz
when they saw the creative, and the model's a particularly exciting one as
well." For more on the new games, see the Jackpotjoy blog on: http://blog.jackpotjoy.com/2010/07/14/brand-new-games-mean-new-ways-to-win/
The new model features a Gamble Bonus Round that offers the chance to
double, quadruple or multiply your winnings by x5 or x10.
"The Gamble Feature's very strong," Adele confirms. "The potential win in
there is limitless, and because the odds are fixed, I imagine we'll see a few
costly winning streaks in there once the game's launched!" For more info on

The Gamble Bonus Game sits alongside a very strong Free Spin feature
where players are taken to meet mythical creatures who award Free Spins at
will.
"We're finding more and more that Free Spins are a really exciting
feature of any slot, and we wanted to make sure we were making the most of
the Zuma characters - they're so strong creatively."
Zuma Slots is one of the first of a string of co-launches between PopCap
and Gamesys, other plans include Bejeweled Hypercash which was launched today
as well, and Bejeweled Bingo, which should be arriving soon. For more info on

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.
