Along with its talented team, Chartboost brings a global audience of more than 700 million monthly users and more than 90 billion monthly advertising auctions. Together, Zynga and Chartboost possess all the elements of a complete, next generation platform: high-quality content, direct player relationships, massive reach and full-stack advertising technology that can be applied across Zynga’s game portfolio and Chartboost’s advertising partners.

Chartboost is a unified advertising platform that includes a Demand Side Platform (DSP) as well as Supply Side Platform (SSP) and mediation capabilities delivered through an SDK solution. By leveraging advanced machine learning and data science capabilities, Chartboost brings together premium inventory, global scale and audience-based targeting to optimize programmatic advertising and yields.

“Chartboost is one of the most dynamic monetization and discovery platforms in mobile, and we could not be more excited to welcome their talented team to our company,” said Frank Gibeau, Chief Executive Officer of Zynga. “By combining Zynga’s high-quality games portfolio and first-party data with Chartboost’s proven advertising and monetization platform, we will create a new level of audience scale and meaningfully enhance our competitive advantage in the mobile ecosystem.”

“We are thrilled to join with Zynga to further build and expand our full stack advertising platform that will serve Zynga and the entire mobile ecosystem,” said Rich Izzo, Chief Executive Officer of Chartboost. “Together, we share a vision of the future where a combined advertising, analytics and content platform will accelerate growth across both of our companies. Zynga already feels like family and an extension of our own company culture.”

Zynga will acquire 100% of Chartboost for approximately $250 million in cash. The final upfront transaction consideration will also include customary closing adjustments and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021.

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has released Don Juan Peppers, a fiery new slot that blends bold bonus features with festive flair.

Set in a sun-soaked Mexican town bursting with colour, rhythm and celebration, the game invites players to join the charismatic Don Juan himself for a lively fiesta across 20 fixed paylines.

The action centres around two types of bonus symbols. Landing three Chili Bonus icons on reels two, three and four triggers seven Free Spins. During Free Spins, each appearance of a Chili Bonus symbol awards an Instant Chili Prize corresponding to the value shown above its reel.

Meanwhile, landing six or more Bonus symbols activates the bonus game. In this mode, all Bonus and Chili icons lock in place and reset the spin counter to three. Chilis in this round boost the value of up to four Bonus symbols before transforming and continuing the chase for bigger wins.

The bonus game also gives players a shot at four fixed jackpots: MINI, MEGA, SUPER, and the GRAND prize of 3,000x the bet. For players who want to skip straight to the fiesta, a Bonus Buy feature offers direct access to either the Bonus Game or Free Spins.

Don Juan Peppers is the latest release in Evoplay’s growing portfolio of standout slots, blending engaging gameplay with vibrant storytelling and proven features.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: Don Juan Peppers is a celebration of bold design and dynamic mechanics. By blending familiar bonus features with a distinctive aesthetic and rhythmic theme, we’ve created a slot that feels both familiar and fresh.

“It’s a fantastic showcase of our approach to delivering high-performing content with real personality.”

SPRIBE, the studio behind the legendary crash game, Aviator, has shaken hands on yet another explosive brand ambassador deal, this time with social media content creator and UFC interviewer, Nina Drama.

Nina is widely regarded as the most popular UFC and MMA media influencer in the world, known for her bold tone of voice and no-holds-barred creative style.

She regularly creates UFC and MMA-focused content, interviewing superstar fighters such as Merab Dvalishvili and Alex Pereira (who are also Aviator ambassadors) in her unique style. This has seen her amass over 14 million followers across her social media platforms.

As an Aviator brand ambassador, Nina (real name, Nina-Marie Daniele) will create and run several campaigns to promote the game to her audience.

The partnership really is the perfect fit, with Nina’s fanbase mostly falling into the same Millennial and Gen Z cohorts that engage with Aviator, which sees more than 50 million people a month strap in and take flight to see if they can land the biggest win multiplier.

It also aligns with SPRIBE’s multi-year, multi-million-dollar marketing partnership with the UFC, which sees the Aviator logo and branding appear inside the famous octagon at Fight Night and PPV events.

 

Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Nina Drama to our growing roster of brand ambassador partners, and to be able to directly engage with her large and loyal fan base through some truly unique creative campaigns.

Nina has captivated audiences with her sharp humor, confident charm, and unfiltered interview style — a perfect match for the high-energy world of Aviator.

“We are really excited about the campaigns we will be launching with Nina – they will hit different, for sure, but we expect them to have a strong impact and introduce even more people to the thrills and spills the Aviator provides.”

 

Nina Drama, social media influencer and Aviator ambassador, added: “Playing Aviator is so much fun and I know my audience will love it too! UFC stars Merab Dvalishvili and Alex are also ambassadors and I know together we will make fun, relatable and viral content while also promoting Aviator!”
