Introducing Mobile & SMS applications

Mobile handsets today have moved beyond the fundamental role of a communication device and have graduated to become an extension of an individual.  Over the past few years, what used to be referred to as new media – (computers, internet and mobiles) has become the dominant media. While traditional mediums (print & television) struggle to stem the erosion of their audience, internet and mobile audiences continue to grow exponentially.

Millions on the Move

When we launched Playwin in 2002, avid gamers used to queue up to buy lotto tickets and the choice of games was limited to one primarily-the traditional lotto. When we launched Lotto, it was difficult for gamers not exposed to international gaming to understand a game that promised crores and where you could actually choose your number. It further helped that one could buy the ticket conveniently at many places in the country.

The industry and the technology both have leapfrogged since then. With third generation mobile phones and cutting edge application software, we virtually have the world in our palm.  Just push a button http://www.myplaywin.com/MobileApplications.aspx and you could start your journey to fun and riches. And now there are ten games including Thunderball, Fast lotto and Keno that promise to make you a millionaire many times over.

Playwin has taken the lead to offer the most interesting games backed by cutting-edge technology, that makes gaming a ‘rewarding’ experience in more ways that one!!

I will be writing on various new initiatives of Playwin, watch this space. In case, you have any suggestions, please do write in.

Let me end with a small joke that I picked up on the net.

A group from Chicago spent a weekend in Las Vegas. One of the men on that trip won $100,000. He didn’t want anyone to know about it, so he decided not to return with the others, but took a later plane home – arriving back 3 a.m. He immediately went out to the backyard of his house, dug a hole and planted the money in it. The following morning he walked outside and found only an empty hole. He noticed footsteps leading from the hole to the house next door, which was owned by a deaf-mute. On the same street lived a professor who understood sign language and was a friend of the deaf man. Grabbing his pistol, the enraged man went to awaken the professor and dragged him to the deaf man’s house. “You tell this guy that if he doesn’t give me back my $100,000 I’m going to kill him!” he screamed at the professor. The professor conveyed the message to his friend, and his friend replied in sign language, “I hid it in my backyard, underneath the cherry tree.”

The professor turned to the man with the gun and said, “He’s not going to tell you. He said he’d rather die first.”
