Maker of myVegas experience launches Caddy SHAQ and SHAQJack. Players can win real rewards from Shaq.
LAS VEGAS, NV – (March 26, 2015) – PLAYSTUDIOS, the groundbreaking creator of the free-to-play myVEGAS social casino experience, today announced the launch of two new titles developed in partnership with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal.
“We’ve partnered with the Big Man and we are incredibly excited about what we’ve created together,’’ said Andrew Pascal, CEO of PLAYSTUDIOS. “When players get a flavor for how we’ve incorporated Shaq into our games, they are going to be amazed at how we’ve captured the essence of his personality. And just like our myVEGAS games, players earn real rewards as they play.’’
O’Neal, a fan of the innovative myVEGAS Slots and MYVEGAS Blackjack games, worked closely with PLAYSTUDIOS in developing, designing and implementing the games. Designers and animators used motion-capture technology and state-of-the-art audio to bring to life the gargantuan personality that is Shaquille O’Neal.
“Once players see the games, they are going to have some fun,’’ O’Neal said. “I play myVEGAS games and their features really keep you there for a while. These games will do the same thing.’’
Like PlayStudios’ myVegas games, the Shaq games will offer real-world rewards from O’Neal himself. Players can redeem points earned on the games for rewards that include signed Caddy SHAQ T-Shirts, an autographed Shaq jersey, a personalized voicemail recording from Shaq, floor seats at a Sacramento Kings game and even a chance to shoot hoops with O’Neal at his house.
