New era begins as DiceArena goes live

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Jadestone Networks, the Nordic based online games owner and operator today announced that the multiplayer dice games network DiceArena is now live and open for players across Europe.

This week marks the beginning of the online multiplayer dice era as the gates are now open for DiceArena players at www.paf.com, the first partner to complete the integration process and go live. Other partner sites are expected to follow over the next few days.

"It's with immense pleasure that we now officially inaugurate the DiceArena Network," said Robert Henrysson, CEO of Jadestone. "This has been a great team effort by the whole company, from development to integration, operations and marketing. We now look forward to working closely with our Network Partners to get this product off to a flying start."

At launch, players will be able to try their luck in a variety of cash games and tournaments in both the featured dice games. For Texas Hold'em fans, there's the poker offshoot Dice Hold'em. For players seeking a more casual experience, Shoot the Moons is a fast and exciting table game with simple rules.

In early 2009, Jadestone's dice game suite will be expanded to include well-known bluffing game Liar's Dice (also known as Perudo). Sharing the same player identity and avatar system, there will also be a full-fledged Backgammon product.
