STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Jadestone Networks, the Nordic based online games owner and operator, today announced that its GamArena skill games – available through bwin Italy – are the first
Jadestone's GamArena  cash skill games to be legally offered in the Italian market.

"Italy is a high priority market for us, so we're very happy that bwin acted quickly to pioneer cash skill games in that country," said Tobias Nissen, Business Development Director at Jadestone. "This joint effort to roll out a new game service in full compliance with the Italian regulations represents a further expansion of our already successful partnership."
