Becky’s Affiliated: Where the innovation is happening in social gaming with Daniel Kashti of KamaGames

KamaGames is the social casino operator behind Pokerist, a game including core poker game-play mechanics, but also catering to a variety of social playing experiences and motivations. KamaGames wanted to give players the ability to challenge each other at the table, to engage with one another through gifting and chatting and to “show off” through their achievements and progression in the game.

Creating a real sense of achievement is one of the main goals of KamaGames, enhanced by the game’s social layers.  One of the ways KamaGames has succeeded in their goal with Pokerist is with an integrated chat system, which is part of the table action and includes single tap emojis. Players actually use this system to form friendships within the games.

In addition to Pokerist, KamaGames is the company behind 3D Blackjack 21 and Roulettist, three games featuring a shared player profile.  By enabling players to move seamlessly between the three games, KamaGames has created an environment of high online liquidity and can provide both the gaming experience as well as the social one.

Casual Connect recently took place in Tel Aviv, a popular conference dedicated to the social gaming industry and KamaGames’ Chief Marketing Officer Daniel Kashti was present.  I wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Kashti upon his return to learn about the latest trends and innovations in the social gaming industry from the perspective of an industry leader.
