Here’s an extract from the press release:

The game is currently available for play at bwin and PAF, and will be rolled out at NordicBet and Triobet over the next few days. Two additional partners will join the network later in the summer and more will come onboard in the fall. With such strong network distribution, the liquidity should be virtually guaranteed.

…

Compared to the existing GamArena backgammon, the new version is a complete rewrite, created from scratch with input and support from avid backgammon players. Widely requested features that have been added include:

  • Doubling cube
  • Match series
  • Tournaments

Join in on the fun on the bwin or PAF sites!

EDIT: Now also available at dicearena.com.
