“Our goal is to provide a comprehensive gaming and betting user experience on our mobile platform,” Grimes continued.
“The mobile games service, which we developed with the mobile gaming and lottery provider Probability, has been created with the mobile customer in mind. We have been working on the games products for the past number of months and now we want to share it with all of our customers.
