Acting CEO Björn Krantz said: “Our partners have been waiting for the day Net Entertainment introduces its first mobile games, and I am very happy that we now can offer their players a great end to end experience moving forward. We will continue to build up a solid portfolio of mobile games, which will frequently be launched to the market.”
