Gaming Realms reaches licensing deal with Sony Pictures Television
Mobile games publisher Gaming Realms has signed a three-year licensing deal with Sony Pictures Television.
Following the return of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? to British screens earlier in May, the deal will see Gaming Realms create and host the Sony-owned format appear on millionairegames.com, a new gaming website, on its proprietary platform. A version based on Gaming Realms' Slingo format is planned for later in the summer.
The millionairegames.com website went live in tandem with the return of the show on ITV on 5 May.
Patrick Southon, chief executive, said, "We are honoured and excited to be partnering with Sony Pictures Television and developing gaming content around one of television's most successful game shows, in celebration of its 20th anniversary."
"This opportunity is proof of our ability to build creative and innovative content and we look forward to the launch of the new Slingo 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' format in the coming months," he added.
As of 1140 BST, Gaming Realms shares had grown 5.42% to 8.25p.
