By integrating Playboy Rummy into our gaming platform, we are incorporating a high-volume network game that taps tens of millions of players and can be easily scaled as we enter new markets. We look forward to building upon these popular, interactive games to further lead the fast-growing and high-demand gaming market in India.'

Reena Patel, COO of Consumer Products at Playboy, said: 'India has long been an important market for Playboy and is home to one of the Playboy Clubs. We are delighted to partner with Gametech, one of today's leading gaming platform operators. Playboy Rummy combines one of the most popular skill-based games in India with our iconic and globally recognized brand.'

India is regarded as one of the fastest growing gaming markets with over 300 million gamers. According to a report by Boston Consulting Group and Sequoia, the gaming market grew 38% from 2019-2020 and 37% in 2018-2019, outpacing the social media market in India. With over 60 million players, the online gaming market in India is leading the gaming space, capturing 86% of the total market share or $1.5 billion dollars and is expected to reach $5 billion in 2025.

Rummy is a skill-based card game, available to play with 2+ players, based on matching cards of the same rank or sequence, and same suit. Each player tries to form matched sets consisting of groups of three or four of a kind, or sequences of three or more cards of the same suit. If a player discards a card, making a run in the discard pile, it may not be taken up without taking all cards below the top one. When a player gets rid of all of their cards, they win the game.
