Leading FinTech and next-gen payment processor ZEBEDEE partners with Bear Hug Entertainment, the latest mobile-gaming studio founded by experienced gaming industry professionals, to announce their play-to-earn game “Coin Mahjong”, where players can earn real Bitcoin rewards. The objective is to shake up the casual-gaming market by introducing real-world, real-money player rewards to familiar gaming concepts. Furthermore, this is Bear Hug’s debut play-to-earn game. Additionally, the game is already live on Android, and more titles are in the works, coming soon.
Coin Mahjong – How Bitcoin Rewards Change Everything!
ZEBEDEE and Bear Hug together bring cutting edge takes to the traditional gaming ecosystem. The first game that launches under this team-up is Coin Mahjong. Mahjong is a classic tile-based tabletop game loved worldwide for over a century. Bear Hug’s version of the game, however, distinguishes itself from others by incorporating a rewarded-gaming model. This offers small amounts of money (as Bitcoin rewards) to players as a prize for completing levels, without requiring any entry fees or upfront costs.
Coin Mahjong’s payment model is possible thanks to its integration with ZEBEDEE’s payments platform, which uses the Bitcoin Lightning Network. This technology makes use of lightning-fast and cost-effective nano-transactions between the game and its players.
Moreover, by using this technology, Coin Mahjong offers small amounts of Bitcoin to players to incentivize downloads and prolong gaming sessions. This model proves that it outperforms traditional retention mechanics by providing a more engaging and rewarding gaming experience.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Bear Hug Entertainment, whose highly-skilled team immediately saw the value and potential of our platform,” says Ben Cousens, Chief Strategy Officer at ZEBEDEE. “This is a great example of the type of innovation that our platform enables, and we believe that the gaming industry is just scratching the surface of what’s possible with our payment technology.”
