Leading European social networking platform NetLog.com has joined forces with Swedish iGames developer Jadestone to offer innovative new multi-player games for the online community.

Stockholm-based Jadestone revealed that the new games would be fully integrated with the social networking platform thanks to NetLog.com’s use of Google’s OpenSocial API. Users will be able to play the range of titles including casino games directly from Netlog.com to enjoy an instant gaming experience without the need to create an extra account on Jadestone’s GamArena fully managed games network.

“We are very happy to work with Jadestone in making Netlog.com a place where our members can spend even more time having fun,” said Lorenz Bogaert, Chief Executive Officer for NetLog.com. “Jadestone is a creative company with plenty of experience in social gaming, so we’re pleased they can share their skill and casino games with our users.”

Scarab Solitaire is the first title to have been made available to users of NetLog.com with Jadestone stating that this game pushes the boundaries of the solitaire concept and is an ultimate test of skill. It stated that the Egypt-themed card game pits players’ strategy and hand-eye coordination against both the clock and other NetLog.com members. This will prove to be a big hit with online casino players.

“Scarab Solitaire is one of our most popular games and continues to appeal to players regardless of their location,” said Robert Henrysson, Chief Executive Officer for Jadestone. “NetLog.com is one of the fastest growing social networks in Europe and around the world and is constantly improving the online experience of its young and dynamic community. It is also a place where users can have fun and we’re delighted to be able to enrich their experience.”
