FUNWALL AND REVEL SYSTEMS ANNOUNCE KEY PARTNERSHIP

NEW YORK, March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — FunWall, a one stop solution for social and tournament gaming and Revel Systems, a feature-rich business platform transforming the way business is done by integrating all operations and customer channels, driven by the Point of Sale, into a single dashboard, today launched a joint program to begin selling FunWall’s platform to existing and future users of Revel’s POS platform. The partnership follows the successful deployment of FunWall’s proprietary social gaming platform at all of Revel client CaliBurger’s restaurants worldwide over the last twelve months.

FunWall enables restaurants, bars, and other retailers to better entertain their guests and increase loyalty and foot traffic.  Additionally, for the first time, FunWall allows restaurant and bar owners to generate revenue outside the four walls of their establishments. Customers that download certain mobile games in the establishment continue to play outside of the establishment, and in-app purchases outside of the establishment are shared with infrastructure owners.

“In 2017, in-app purchases in mobile games will top $37 billion of revenue for the mobile gaming industry,” said Steve Ridley, CEO of FunWall. “Through our partnership with Revel, we allow infrastructure owners to use displays on their walls to entertain their guests with games of their choice while also making incremental income.”

Under the terms of the partnership, Revel will offer access to the FunWall library of mobile games to its customer base. FunWall is fully integrated with the Revel loyalty program, allowing customers to earn loyalty points or prizes, all redeemable at the POS only by playing the games.

“FunWall has had an immediate impact on CaliBurger’s business,” said John Miller, Chairman of Cali Group, which owns CaliBurger and positions in various technology companies in the restaurant and retail industries.

“As a leader in innovative technology that improves the customer experience for the restaurant and bar industry, we are pleased to offer the world’s first comprehensive social gaming platform to our rapidly growing client base,” said Scott Betts, CEO of Revel. “We look forward to working with FunWall to enable success for our clients by implementing technology allowing them to engage and understand their customers.”

ENPLUG AND FUNWALL ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP

NEW YORK, Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Enplug and FunWall today announced a partnership to bring FunWall’s proprietary mobile social gaming platform to Enplug’s class leading digital display technology. This partnership will instantly give Enplug’s network the ability to participate in multiplayer tournaments with other gamers in any public location. To participate, the only thing the consumer needs to bring is their mobile phone.

The unique FunWall platform takes the buzz around eSports and places it at everyone’s fingertips whenever and wherever they are. FunWall is the only way to turn your favorite mobile game into anything from a “one on one” challenge to “playing the entire world” in a global tournament.

Social mobile games provide the perfect vehicle to engage, entertain, capture and incentivize an audience.

The FunWall platform also provides a vital link between cloud and place based gaming. Using the power of “place” to fill the cloud – then using the power of the “cloud” to populate the place.

“FunWall makes that vital audience connection by combining fun and incentive into the same experience. We identified Enplug to launch because of its ease of use and future-thinking product,” said Steve Ridley, CEO of FunWall. Ridley was a founder and Global CEO of Kinetic Worldwide, the largest media company of its kind in the world.
