Buenos Aires. August 9, 2011. FaGames announced the release of Futbolo, the first social game that allows users to predict football soccer results on Facebook, combining social games mechanics and worldwide most popular sport.

The game, available in more than 10 languages, allows Facebook users to compete with their friends and workmates predicting the results of more than 15 world leagues, such as The Spanish League, The Italian Serie A, and The British Premier League.

“This is FaGames first own project as Publishers, our first release for Facebook. We specialize in the development and provision of Social Real Games, combining virtual and real-world items. This is the time for soccer scores; but we will be launching new games for the North American Market such as NBA, NHL, NFL, MLB in the next months”, explains Gonzalo Rodríguez, FaGames Commercial Director.

 

 

More than half of Facebook users just play, and only 6 % of US social gamers spend money on virtual items. Branded virtual goods are the largest segment of the social gaming economy, one that will produce revenues of $ 1 billion worldwide alone this year, according to a well known US research and analysis on digital marketing and media forecasts.

Fagames, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is partner of several Media and information Websites over seven Latin American countries, where has become Fantasy Games developer number one.
