Online casino developer NetGaming has joined Mutant Ape Yacht Club. The move has brought the company into the NFT (non-fungible token) market.
The company acquired four apes, including Mutant Ape Yacht Club #14988, #9054, #8978 and #2810. It hopes the purchase will create more opportunities to distribute its gaming content.
NetGaming CEO Pallavi Deshmukh said: "We are excited to have purchased four rare MAYC NFTs while in the process of being the first in the industry to create crypto and NFT-related games at this quality bar."
Deshmukh added that the company has been working on crypto projects for several months.
"Our crypto projects have been in development since August 2021 and seen several revisions in the interest of making the best possible product our clients and ever-growing userbase have relied upon,” he said.
“The amplifying interest for NFTs and the technology behind them is now undeniably woven into our culture, so we've embraced this electrifying demand for a true NFT slot game by using our high caliber team to give the world its first Mutant Ape-themed AAA standard slot game.”
The company was founded in 2019 and has since integrated iGaming aggregators, Relax Gaming and PariPlay to distribute its content. Players can access NetGaming’s titles through many online casinos, including Unibet, Videoslots and Parimatch.
“As an innovator in this space, we aim to get this title in the hands of our players in Q2 this year as we continue to offer unique propositions and make investments into the finest talents to ensure longevity for NetGaming with more exciting updates on the horizon," said Deshmukh.
