DoubleU Games to increase global market share in social casino games

Korean social casino games maker DoubleU Games Co. aims to expand its business by drawing more funds from the local stock market.

DoubleU Games has unveiled a plan for an initial public offering (IPO) on the tech-heavy KOSDAQ in November. The company looks to raise around 250 billion won ($209.8m), the largest amount of initial funds raised for a KOSDAQ-listed company.

The company announced its plan to list their shares on the KOSDAQ in April due to Korean bourse’s relatively cheap operating expenses and better valuation.

Kim Ga-ram, chief executive officer of DoubleU, said that the funds will be used to beef up marketing and to diversify its target markets to Southeast Asia, Latin America and Russia.
