SAN MATEO, Calif.-- Feb. 28, 2006 -- Kayak Interactive, a leading global mobile entertainment publisher, announced today that Slingo-2-Go is now available from major wireless carriers throughout the Americas. Slingo-2-Go's debut marks an industry milestone in mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-Web online game technology and creates one of the largest communities of its kind.
"With an enormous fan base of 3 million registered users and more than 2 billion recorded games, Slingo was the ideal property to usher in our first Web to mobile experience," said Keith McCurdy, president and CEO of Kayak Interactive. "We have high expectations that Slingo-2-Go will quickly become a 'must play' game among the dedicated and growing Slingo community who will be elated to have access to the game around the clock in the palm of their hand. In addition to all the players already in the Slingo community, we feel Kayak's Slingo-2-Go will win over a huge number of new mobile consumers to the proven Slingo game play and addictive fun."
Kayak's Slingo-2-Go features Slingo.com's popular title Slingo Millennium and addictive combination of slots and bingo.
