iWin & Endemol Bring Deal or No Deal to Facebook

SAN FRANCISCO: iWin and Endemol have entered a partnership to bring the TV game shows Deal or No Deal and 1 vs. 100 to Facebook this spring.

As part of the deal, iWin, a casual and social games creator, distributor and publisher, will also develop PC versions of the two games for release in the fall.

On the Facebook platform, Deal or No Deal players will test their skills against the game’s banker, while interacting with the Facebook community and attempting to maximize their winnings. In 1 vs. 100, players will be able to invite their Facebook friends to compete against them in the trivia show.

Peter Negulescu, the president of iWin, said: “We’ve enjoyed tremendous growth over the past year with our games on Facebook, and we are excited to team up with Endemol to launch two more internationally recognized TV game show brands on the platform with Deal or No Deal and 1 vs. 100. This further strengthens our portfolio of branded social games on Facebook and demonstrates our deep expertise in creating game experiences that can bring together millions of players of all ages on a daily basis.”

Joerg Bachmaier, the senior VP and general manager of the Americas at Endemol Worldwide Brands, added: “Endemol is excited to bring our most popular and engaging brands to these emerging gaming platforms. As Deal or No Deal and 1 vs. 100 have tremendous brand equity and inherent gameplay mechanics, we are looking forward to building a successful and innovative business with iWin.”
