Spin3 Launches Dragon's Fortune -- Instant Win Card Mobile Game for Advanced Smartphones
Company's New Instant-Play Oriental-Themed Game Is the 7th Web-Based Release and 18th Addition to Its Industry-Leading Portfolio

LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 08/20/09 -- Leading full service mobile gaming solutions provider Spin3*, powered by Microgaming, the world's largest online gaming software provider, has today announced the launch of its latest mobile instant win card game, Dragon's Fortune, exclusively as a web-application for users of web-enabled smartphones.

The oriental-themed Dragon's Fortune is a six panel instant win card game and Spin3's seventh web-based game, giving players an enhanced gaming experience with advanced graphics and the ability to play the game instantly.

Users can win up to 20,000 times their original bet by matching the Chinese characters and symbols -- representing happiness, health and good fortune -- and the lucky pearls revealed by the dragon's fiery breath.

Matti Zinder, Head of Spin3, says, "Instant win card games are perfectly suited to the mobile platform because they are quick and simple-to-play and hugely entertaining. Dragon's Fortune is a great twist on the classic card game and will prove to be popular in both the Chinese and global markets.
