Royal Wins expects the introduction of the universally accepted payment platform will increase the revenue potential from its iOS user base.
As the company noted, this development will be significant to Royal Wins by addressing the company's ability to process and receive payments - one of the inherent challenges for the whole online gaming sector.
"With the addition of Apple Pay for iOS users, Royal Wins is better positioned to achieve its revenue targets on the Kash Karnival app. iOS users currently make up 45% of our user base and Apple Pay is the largest market share for payment programs on the iOS Platform," Peter Gan, President and CEO, said in the statement.
"As well, our updated approach to the user experience will be a major catalyst to our user growth as we continue to increase efficiencies and allow for more intuitive operation of our games."
The updated version of Kash Karnival also implements important changes to the App's user interface, creating a better, more user-friendly experience.
As highlighted in the media statement, changes include a complete overhaul of the betting panel pre-game to make betting more seamless as well as decreasing the time involved in getting players into their game.
In late May, Royal Winds applied these changes to Betty's Bakery, another mobile gaming app the company developed. The enhanced features have been well received with users on all operating systems leaving positive reviews.
