Fort Mason Games Ushers in a New Era of Truly Social Mobile Games
The Mobile Game Company’s first release, Confetti Casino, Offers A Way for Players to De-stress With A Variety of Fun Slot Games
Today marks the launch of Fort Mason Games, a new, social mobile game company focused on creating games that are artificial intelligence-based, social, and designed to help players relax and de-stress. The company’s debut mobile app is Confetti Casino, a Vegas-style slots game.
Boasting dazzling graphics and a party vibe, Confetti Casino is the only slots app that allows players to play in portrait or landscape, and includes a variety of fun slots themes for players to escape into, including: Tumbling Tikis, 88 Riches, and Miami Millionaire, as well as offering classic single line slot machines with bars and lucky 777s. Confetti Casino includes a breakthrough social network that makes it easy for players to make new friends and further their social connections via sending and receiving cute HeartGrams that deliver in-game rewards.
“At Fort Mason Games, we want to create games that provide entertainment, excitement, and an opportunity to relax,” says, Founder and CEO, Kate Gorman. “Confetti Casino, our first release in our portfolio of upcoming games, is designed to be the ‘me time’ retreat we all need at the end of a long day of work, while also forging new connections and friendships through those we interact with in the game.”
Prior to founding Fort Mason Games, Kate worked for Zynga, becoming the company’s youngest Director of Product at age 25. There, Kate grew Zynga’s slots category from $0 to $300 million in revenue. With Fort Mason Games, Kate isn’t only determined to build a new billion dollar business in mobile entertainment, but to help reclaim an industry dominated by men.
“It’s no secret the gaming industry has fallen short when it comes to fostering gender diversity,” says Kate. “Building mobile games that appeal to everyone with a focus on women opens up an immense market that other companies have long failed to cater to and capitalize on.”
Aiming to create communities through games people love, Fort Mason Games is planning to release an array of other social games in the near future. To help her build this, Kate has brought on Susan Doherty as Fort Mason Games’ CMO. Susan is a 0-to-$400 million results-oriented marketing executive with 15+ years experience leading consumer marketing brands.
With over 2.5 billion players, the need to establish a socially-driven mobile gaming ecosystem has become even more pressing Of those 2.5 billion-plus players, a Google study revealed 65% of women in the US ages 10-65 play mobile games. Now, Fort Mason Games launched and is at the forefront of both of trends.
