Jadestone Networks recently announced that their GamArena Skill games network has now been launched in the Italian market. Players in Italy now have access to the skill games as well as tournaments taking place on the network. Bwin helped Jadestone Networks launch the new network in Italy.

The Swedish online games operator has stated that they are the first to offer cash skill games to Italy legally. Players will find a variety of games available on the network including Scarab Solitaire and Yatzy; though according to the company Italian players seem to favor the game of blackjack.

Jadestone also stated that they had projected the daily rakes to be at a certain level and the actual outcome on the daily rakes chart has been larger than their initial projections which is good.

Tobias Nissen, the Business Development Director for Jadestone commented: “Italy is a high priority market for us, so we’re very happy that Bwin acted quickly to pioneer cash skill games in that country. This joint effort to roll out a new game service in full compliance with the Italian regulations represents a further expansion of our already successful partnership.”
