Through the agreement with OpenBet, Karma will bring titles such as El Lootchador, Haunted Hotel and Secrets of the Pyramids to new markets. Haunted Hotel and Secrets of the Pyramids hold the distinction of being the first-ever episodic instant win games, featuring storylines played out over multiple chapters. Each level contains a hidden object puzzle and a crossword. Players must uncover hidden letters within the puzzle to solve the crossword to win real money. Players can also uncover additional bonus mini-games as well as hidden clues to solve the mystery storyline, including hidden notes and artifacts.

Many of Karma's titles include unlockable mini-games and achievements for added player excitement. Karma's games can be played cross-platform - on online computer (Flash), mobile (native iOS and Android) as well as HTML5 mobile.

"We are thrilled to announce our relationship with OpenBet, which enables us to distribute our games to a global audience, especially European markets," said Paul LeBlanc, CEO of Karma Gaming. "We look forward to collaborating with OpenBet and utilizing their platform and extensive knowledge base, as we continue to create new and exciting content for gaming audiences."
