The gaming software manufacturer, Jadestone Group AB, has agreed to provide online skill games to the online casino and poker site management team, PAF.  The games are scheduled to be debuted in the first half of 2006, and will largely target the Scandinavian market, where online casino gambling has sharply risen in popularity over the years.

The games will run off of a new PAF property called GamArena AB, and will offer a variety of the best skill, casino and sports games online.  The Chief Executive of PAF, LarsPorko, expressed his company's confidence that online skill gaming will continue to rise in popularity and innovation.  The potential for continued growth remains - which is why GamArena has been molded the way it has.

The newly appointed Managing Director of GamArena, Andrew Peglar, revealed that PAF is very serious is putting a tap into the online skill gaming industry. Much like Party Gaming did with the poker scene, GamArena will be seeking to develop itself into an online skill gaming network - acquiring affiliate partners along the way.  Both Jadestone and PAF are familiar with the territory - and so are starting off on the right foot.  As both online skill and casino games continue to grow in popularity, the plan is to market GamArena very strong in all of Europe, beginning with English platforms online.

Keeping prior online gaming models in sight, PAG believes that their online skill platform will see the same degree of success their poker and online bingo platforms have seen in previous years.
